Florida under DeSantis shifts toward a dystopian governance
The Miami Herald warns that Florida under Governor DeSantis and a compliant Legislature has become more intrusive and punitive. New laws tighten gender and LGBTQ rights, curb classroom discussion on diversity, weaken union protections, expand gun access, and ease the death penalty while targeting immigrants, funding a state guard, and limiting access to abortion. The piece urges national voters to note the direction as a cautionary tale for a possible Trump presidency.
