Not welcome in Florida and other GOP states: gays, constructed history, and Bidenomics [1]

In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. Revisionist history is constructed history.

This is John Duebel, one of DeSantis’ cronies at the Florida Department of Education. Watch him twist himself into a pretzel as he excuses the new education standards that claim slavery benefited enslaved people. These people are disgusting. pic.twitter.com/CxonBJdsNr

The ppl who banned Black ppl from schools, jobs, military, & public spaces, lynched Latinos, banned Asian immigration, locked up Japanese ppl, broke hundreds of treaties with Native Americans—& are now banning teaching that history—want you to stop making everything about race.😐

Historical construction:

Do they think enslaved people were freed and given little nest eggs to start small businesses https://t.co/jdPmQBMoLl

This fucking imbecile @greggutfeld is beyond absurd. He argues that Jews honed skills in the Holocaust that allowed some to survive. More than SIX MILLION men, women, & children because they weren’t useful enough. @FoxNews is complicit in this hateful tirade. #NeverAgain https://t.co/KhAmt18NyL

There are LOTS of LGBTQ voters in TX, FL, LA, SC... Do they know that BOTH their senators voted against their basic human dignity? How any gay person could vote for Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy, John Cornyn, Tim Scott is just incomprehensible

The GQP wants a chaotic capitalist economy to allow greater separation among economic classes as well as the usual anachronistic hatred of racism and sexism.

The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants in the IRA are genius: They allow the Biden administration to steer EPA money to large cities if the states refuse to accept it. Florida, South Dakota, Iowa and Kentucky have refused the money. #ResistanceEarth https://t.co/HwUteiS3OE

Even if the name was unplanned, the fundamental shift it has come to symbolize was not. Bidenomics is the result of a conscious effort by the White House to undo a free-market paradigm that swept into Washington with President Ronald Reagan’s election — one that favored the private sector over the public, the financial well-being of the rich over the poor, the support of monopolies over small and local business, and the empowerment of bosses over workers.

After two years of working to pass high-profile economic legislation and rolling out comparatively obscure new government rules, Biden is ready to take credit for what could prove to be a sea change in American politics and economic life. Say goodbye to Reaganomics and hello to Bidenomics.

Bidenomics, as the president and his administration tell it, puts the government back in the driver’s seat through the direction of industrial policy in key sectors deemed important to national and economic security. And it prioritizes worker empowerment and competition through the reinvigoration of labor unions and antitrust enforcement.
