One of their latest proposed bills? Dismantling the Democratic Party completely in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Disenfranchising voters is nothing new for Florida Republicans. This last election cycle, the Sunshine State dealt with heavily gerrymandered maps, absentee ballots by Democrats being pulled for \u201cissues\u201d like claims of mismatched signatures, and a plethora of other sneaky tricks by the GOP to hand themselves a landslide win across the state. But to entirely ban a political party from the state is just batshit crazy. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If passed in Tallahassee this year, the bill titled SB 1248, would require the state\u2019s Division of Elections to cancel filings for the Democratic Party. Currently registered Democrats would be notified that they\u2019re now registered as \u201cno party affiliates\u201d and would need to register as another party to participate in primary elections. The reasoning is that the Democratic Party \u2014 which heavily influenced the South during the Civil War era \u2014 was in favor of slavery and therefore should not be allowed to exist. SB 1248 was filed by state Senator Blaise Ingoglia (R-FL) who said it\u2019s about giving \u201ccancel-culture libs a taste of their own medicine\u201d per Vanity Fair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years now, leftist activists have been trying to \u2018cancel\u2019 people and companies for things they have said or done in the past,\u201d Senator Ingoglia said in his statement. \u201cThis includes the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings. Using this standard, it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democrat Party itself for the same reason.\u201d Nothing screams freedom like implementing more restrictions against those who have opposing beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I don\u2019t see this piece of legislation passing. If it does, it will undoubtedly be challenged in the courts which I can\u2019t see upholding the bill due to constitutional protections at the state and federal level. But if it does then it\u2019s time for Democrats to ban the Republican Party in the state as any organization that supports an insurrection against our government isn\u2019t a political party but a domestic terrorist threat. Two can play that game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher Florida\u2019s Governor Ron DeSantis and his fellow Republican colleagues are going full Third Reich just before the state legislature begins its session next week.
