Quite a catch by Politico’s Marc Caputo, who notes well that this was a survey of Florida Democratic voters. Its fairly widely reported top line findings were that shameless political chameleon Charlie Crist — who’s run for statewide office as a Republican, Independent and Democrat — leads the pack in his (latest) party’s gubernatorial primary. Crist is ahead of Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner and conspiratorial demagogue Nikki Fried by ten points, but both of them are losing handily to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who boasts a daunting war chest heading toward the general election: As you can see, DeSantis has an advantage of nine to 13 points over his potential challengers, which would certainly qualify as battleground state blowout territory. Other polling has also pointed to a major DeSantis lead. But what Caputo noticed was the lack of attention being paid to another result in this poll of Sunshine State Democrats: Florida Democrats, along with much of the media, bought into activists’ ‘Don’t Say Gay’ framing of this legislation, which has led to all sorts of protests and heated rhetoric. I’ve explained my concerns with the bill in a careful and non-hysterical way , but other opponents have acted as if the bill bans the word ‘gay’ in Florida schools (ludicrously false), and have foolishly attacked one of the key components of the policy: Barring classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for five-to-eight-year-olds in grades K-3. This provision, I argued, is not objectionable and would be widely popular with parents and voters overall. Activists pressed ahead with their histrionics anyway, and the results haven’t worked out well for them. Some of the legitimate critiques of the legislation have been largely ignored, while the K-3 component has — surprise — proven popular.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
