DeSantis & Florida Republicans are following the Playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education

 

Right Wingers around the world are systematically destroying Democracy, implementing One Party Rule with rigged elections, taking over the News Media, Judiciary and Education, similar to what DeSantis and Republicans are doing in Florida.

 

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere. Republicans are following the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED.

 

Opinion | DeSantis Allies Plot the Hostile Takeover of a Liberal College (Published 2023)

Chris Rufo’s “long march through the institutions” starts in Florida.

DeSantis Allies Hostile Takeover of a Liberal College

Per the article above: “New College of Florida has a reputation for being the most progressive public college in the state. On Friday, (DeSantis) announced six new appointments to New College’s 13-member board of trustees, including Chris Rufo, who orchestrated the right’s attack on critical race theory, and Matthew Spalding, a professor and dean at Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian school in Michigan with close ties to Donald Trump. (A seventh member will soon be appointed by Florida’s Board of Governors, which is full of DeSantis allies.)”

“The fight over the future of New College is about more than just the fate of this small school in Sarasota. For DeSantis, it’s part of a broader quest to crush any hint of progressivism in public education, a quest he’d likely take national if he ever became president. For Rufo, a reconstructed New College would serve as a model for conservatives to copy all over the country. “If we can take this high-risk, high-reward gambit and turn it into a victory, we’re going to see conservative state legislators starting to reconquer public institutions all over the United States,” he said. Should he prevail, it will set the stage for an even broader assault on the academic freedom of every instructor whose worldview is at odds with the Republican Party“.

 

Nothing says white-male privilege like the outrageous salary of New College president | Opinion

Florida voters wrote Republicans a blank check to remake the state’s education system – and grifter politicians are profiting from the deal, says Fabiola Santiago.

Per the above article: Nothing says white-male privilege like the outrageous salary of New College president Richard Corcoran

“Despite dropping out of the state’s top-ranked school, the University of Florida, Corcoran has held all of these high-profile political jobs: Pasco County legislator. Florida House Speaker. Education commissioner during Gov. Ron DeSantis’ first term. As a result of the culture-war circus Corcoran helped DeSantis stage — most recently, giving the once-reputable liberal-arts New College of Florida in Sarasota a conservative makeover — the influential politician has been appointed its interim president”.

“Nothing screams “white-male privilege” more blatantly than Corcoran’s outrageous paycheck. It’s more than twice that of his better-qualified predecessor, Patricia Okker, fired in the GOP’s hunt for liberals”.

“His salary: $699,000 to lead a small school of less than 700 students. And if he accomplishes the goals established for the troubled Honors College school, he’ll get a bonus of up to 15% of his annual salary. Plus, he’ll earn another $104,850 a year in retirement compensation. He’ll get $84,000 a year for housing and a $12,000 car allowance. Again, the perks are more than double what Okker’s were. And he’ll make more than $1 million if he still holds the job by the time his contract ends on Sept. 1, 2024”.

“Not bad for a Canadian brought to Florida at age 11 and who, according to his biography, went to religious schools you never heard of: Catholic liberal-arts Saint Leo College in Florida and Christian Regent University in Virginia, founded by Pat Robertson in 1977”.

 

Anti-Democratic Fascist REPUBLICANS are passing Laws banning books, limiting what Teachers can Teach and what can be discussed in classrooms with huge fines of up to $10,000 for violations. Republicans want BIG GOVERNMENT controlling every aspect of people’s lives.

New Florida Teacher Training Aims To Indoctrinate Educators With Conservative Ideology

Encouraged by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools

 

LIST OF DESANTIS & REPUBLICANS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC FASCIST LAWS & POLICIES AGAINST DEMOCRACY & FREEDOM OF SPEECH

• Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
• Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
• Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
• Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
• Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
• Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
• DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
• Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
• Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
• DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
• Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
• Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
• Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
• Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
• Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
• Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
• Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
• Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
• Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
• Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
• Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
• Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
• DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
• Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”.  Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
• Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
• DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

Jelani Cobb, dean of the Columbia Journalism School, talks with Alex Wagner about how Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ efforts to erase Black history in the United States by intimidating librarians, teachers, school boards and universities risks pushing Florida and its Southern associations back into the past and undercutting the ability of Southern schools to draw competent, reputable faculty.

 

Professor slams DeSantis for quashing Black history education

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is trying to control the type of education that Florida students can receive, most recently rejecting an advanced placement course in African-American studies, claiming it was “contrary to Florida law” and “significantly lacking educational value.” The law he is referring to seems to be the “Stop Woke Act” that basically gives him the power to downplay the true racial history of America. This has impacted many educators, but there are some in the state who refuse to back down. Dr. Marvin Dunn, one of the preeminent historians in Florida, is saying “Bring it on.”

 

Schools Are Fighting Back Hard Against REPUBLICAN Attacks

Republicans have spent the past few years attacking public education – and teachers, especially – as part of their ongoing assault on the LGBTQ+ community. And school districts have finally had enough, and they are working tirelessly to fight back against the onslaught of attacks, lies, and conspiracy theories that Republicans are spreading about our school systems

 

REPUBLICANS in Oklahoma are taking the suppression of education to a whole new level, with new legislation that would allow teachers to be fined $10,000 for teaching anything that goes against Christian beliefs, which would include basic biology lessons. It would also be illegal for teachers to raise money from outside sources to pay the fines, and they would also likely be fired for offenses – and each individual student’s families could sue for $10,000. This is not just obscene, it is an attack on public education and teachers.

 

REPUBLICAN State Bills To Limit What Teachers Can Say

Republicans across the country have introduced 137 pieces of legislation at the state level trying to limit what teachers are legally allowed to teach their students. Discussions about race, gender, and sexual orientation are being outlawed in areas where Republicans have the numbers to pass the legislation. This is going to set our education system back generations, and experts believe it will soon lead to a mass exodus of teachers all over America.

The attack on education is getting extreme, and not enough people are paying attention, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins points out.

Per Wikipedia, the definition of Fascism is; “a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce. Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party”.

 

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below

Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

2. Identification of Enemies / Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.

14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

1. Bullies
2. Religious extremists (such as Christian Evangelists)
3. Extremists who resort to Violence to get their way (January 6, 2021 riots to overturn legitimate election which their leader, Trump lost)
4. Right-wing Anti-democratic Fascist (most Republicans condone eliminating a free press and democracy)
5. Suppress Women’s Rights (anti-abortion laws)
6. Extreme Patriotism with tons of flags

 

 

 

POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press

43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll

 

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism

 

Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).
