To bring favor with the GOP they are going to call it the Gaetz-apo. /s
And they’ll wear white robes
Guess it’s not so secret now is it.
The Secret Policeman’s Other Ball
What the actual fuck
Your party of small government
About what I would expect. Letting the Confederacy become part of the United States again, especially letting it happen without executing a few hundred of its leaders, was the biggest mistake in this nation’s history. They will bring this country down. And it has already started.
>If you find yourself under investigation by Gov Ops, you won’t be allowed to publicly discuss any alleged constitutional violations or misconduct by the investigators. All communications with committee personnel would be treated as “confidential.” Shockingly, you’d also be denied the right to seek legal counsel regarding your rights if Gov Ops were to search your property without a warrant, irrespective of whether it’s in a public or private space.
LMAO, yeah, right. What are they going to do to stop me? I swore an oath to the Constitution, and it takes precedent over these assholes. Everyone I know would be on the phone with the FBI and yelling into TV cameras the moment these fascist clowns tried anything like the bullshit they’re pretending they’d be allowed to do.
Any way to get passed the paywall?
Just say nazis
The SS
You are morally obligated to not comply with fascist goons.
Ok, so they’re creating the gestapo. Got it. They’re not even trying to hide that they’re Nazis anymore.
So they legalised their deep state?
So that’s why my sister and her kids moved there
is this in addition to the “regular” police, who are also Republican sociopaths with full immunity from the law, no oversight, etc.
Can we finally just start calling the far right Nazis? It’s so much faster and more accurate.
Not very secret apparently.
Republicans are no longer interested in our constitution or democracy. They are only interested in power.
If you don’t believe this is an active slow moving coup you aren’t paying attention.
Ron DeSantis plans Florida paramilitary force outside federal control…
DeSantis, a Republican, has asked state lawmakers to fund the establishment of what he is calling the Florida state guard to assist with “state-specific emergencies”.
This force of 200 selected volunteers would “not be encumbered by the federal government”, the governor said.
Luckily, the entire force will be conservatives. Not exactly the most intimidating to be pressured by 5 foot tall “men” that can’t grow beards.
That doesn’t describe all conservatives. It does describe all power-tripping conservatives though.
From tfa “With the 2024 election looming, Republicans in the state legislature will redraw voting maps after the new conservative majority on the state’s Supreme Court legalized partisan gerrymandering. (The Princeton Gerrymandering Project called North Carolina one of the most gerrymandered states in the country.)”
This is not giving enough context. SCOTUS blessed this shit in a crazy opinion. They said we will leave it to the state legislatures to decide if they want to allow this. Shockingly, politicians who gained their power through political gerrymandering want to keep political gerrymandering. Who could have foreseen? I guess you can still vote them out. right. right?
Partisan gerrymandering, “the drawing of legislative district lines to subordinate adherents of one political party and entrench a rival party in power,” is an issue that has vexed the federal courts for more than three decades. On June 27, 2019, the Supreme Court, by a 5 to 4 vote, ruled that claims of unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering are not subject to federal court review because they present non-justiciable political questions, removing the issue from the federal court’s purview. In Rucho v. Common Cause and Lamone v. Benisek (hereafter Rucho) the Court viewed the Elections Clause of the Constitution as solely
assigning disputes about partisan gerrymandering to the state legislatures
This is a precursor to stealing the next election they lose, they are going to “investigate” opposition or polls or anything that may have evidence they lost, and seize it with the threat of jail to those they take it from without warrant or due process
This is a test of the authoritarian system, next they will come for anyone who supposed lgbt or abortion or rational immigration etx
And soon, if it’s not squashed, other states like Florida and texas are gonna get on the band wagon as they push for some kind of dystopian BS that represents their world view and only their world view
Brownshirts.
This state is such a mess.

They even have a Wikipedia entry:
