Florida has a very old population and a far lower Covid death rate than far left New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois.
And they have been open for almost the entire pandemic.
Small businesses have flocked there.
Florida didn¡¯t force poor kids to ¡°learn¡± from home. Their schools were open.
If parents are scared of DeSantis why are people fleeing blue states and moving to Florida?
Look at the numbers and educate yourself before speaking next time

Maine has an older population while Arizona & Washington have a greater population growth than Florida. Florida did have children remote learning & it exposed major problems with access. DeSantis should be looking at updating the archaic state systems so that legitimate people seeking unemployment can do so without waiting weeks to gain access.
It's no surprise you are touting DeSantis as he's been a mini Trump lite politician trying to bully his way into prominence.
Stay with your Massachusetts politics so you don't sound as ignorant on things you know very little about.
Again with this nonsense about being anti-establishment?
De-Santis is as establishment as they come. Just because a guy says he is anti-establishment doesn't make it so. I guess you learned nothing from Fat Donnie?
You are one dense individual.
Look at De-Santis' background. You think he is anti-establishment? 
What makes his background ¡°establishment¡±?
I think you¡¯re having a hard time understanding what ¡°the establishment¡± is.
It¡¯s ok, it¡¯s a common problem.
I think it's the other way around.
You are the only clown in this forum, even among the Trumpers, that still thinks Trump is anti-establishment.
You appear to think that because a guy says he is anti-establishment, he is.
You think guys like DeSantis and Trump tell you the truth.
Not surprising though because you are weak-minded and gullible.
Let me help you, they are telling you what you want to hear.
DeSantis is totally anti-establishment taking six and seven figure donations from the same billionaire donors as the rest of the GOP Congress members, holding six figure a plate fundraisers across the country, and taking funds from the same PACs as the rest of the party.
This guy is so anti-Washington, its crazy. Geezus, get a clue man. You have no idea what the "establishment" is or how it operates clearly, so stop commenting on it.
You are full of $hit on every issue you speak on.
They were/are DOING what I want them to DO.
He takes donations so he¡¯s an establishment candidate?
Ok, pea brain.
You are a complete moron.
It's not that he takes donations numb nuts, all rather politicians do, but rather who he takes money and direction from.
Yes, he takes donations from the same GOP billionaires donors, and PACs (The establishment) with the same agendas as the rest of the GOP and elected Republican officials (establishment) nitwit.
You know to advance the same agendas and policy preferences.
But yes, he is so different.
The fact you do not even understand the connection shows what an idiot you are.
But he is anti-establishment because he tells you so.
Your reply shows your lack of intelligence and awareness, as if we needed any more examples of your pure ignorance in this forum.
What actions is DeSantis taking that are so different than other GOP establishment leadership in the South???
Lifting mask mandates and opening businesses early (Done by just about every other GOP state in the region that is now struggling).
Opening schools early? What exactly is so anti-establishment about taking typical Republican measures and spewing the same GOP rhetoric about individual freedom and choice? Seems pretty establishment of him.
Whatever typical Republic rhetoric he is using these days isn't too much for his popularity among Florida residents like our fellow Midnight lately.

"A new poll released Wednesday showed DeSantis underwater on his approval rating, with 43.7% approving of his performance as governor and 48.5% disapproving, according to a StPetePolls survey of 3,952 Floridians. Surprising pollster Matt Florell, the poll had DeSantis narrowly losing reelection next year to one potential Democratic contender – former Gov. Charlie Crist – with 45.3% favoring Crist to 43.8% who want DeSantis re-elected."
And by a 2-to-1 margin – 62% to 31.9% – Floridians believe schoolchildren should be required to wear masks when they return to the classroom in two weeks, a strong rebuke to DeSantis and his recent executive order banning school districts from imposing mask mandates.

These guys are two of the biggest establishment donors of the Republican Party, yes.
If you don't think billionaire businessmen that have been running the government for decades are Not a part of the establishment, there is not much I can do to help you.
It's obvious you don't know what the establishment is.
