    DeSantis is a Harvard law school grad and Navy lawyer, he absolutely has an idea what all of those governmental entities do, this is just him and the GOP trying to normalize the fascistic accumulation of power, step one of becoming a dictatorship.

    Also this is the GOP’s plan to do exactly that:

    Project 2025

    It’s just a step by step to purge the government, then whatever else, of undesirables while making an effort to destroy our government one piece at a time. Fascistic Libertarian hellscape here we come! (Also this is nothing new from them, just more open fascism)

      You can have an advanced degree and still be ignorant about totally relevant facts. It’s actually easier if you’re ignorant about those facts, because you’re more likely to believe the things you say that don’t make sense.

      I think you’ve accurately listed a lot of correct information, especially about the well-known plan that the GOP has been pushing for decades, but we shouldn’t assume that the guy has knowledge about slightly obscure topics. I mean really, how many Americans actually looked into what the Department of Energy does?
