Freedom
This boggles me. Republicans are supposed to be all about personal freedom... but not the freedom to wear a mask?
DeSantis people skills
RON DESANTIS, SMUG ASSHOLE, TAKES TIME OUT OF HIS DAY TO YELL AT STUDENTS FOR WEARING MASKS
DeSantis is a asshole and
DeSantis is a asshole and tyrant and he is responsible for the death and suffering of thousands. Dumbass leaders like the Harvard and Yale educated DeSantis have misguided Americans into making deadly decisions about their health. If these anti mask and anti Vax leaders would have been strong advocates of masking and vaccines and listened to our best doctors and scientists, many people including my unvaccinated brother would be alive. Instead of listening to my advice he listened to anti mask and anti Vax idiots like DeSantis & Lee & Jacobs and that misguided decision cost him his life. DeSantis is a stupid SOB that has used his position of power to be a bad influence on many.
