Ron DeSantis says people didn’t have “pride” in being Floridians before he was elected Governor.
During an interview with friendly talk show host Steve Deace, DeSantis explained that people in the Sunshine State are now proud, much like people in Texas are of their state identity.
“I can tell you what we’ve seen in the last few years has developed a sense of pride in the state, particularly amongst our people, that rivals or exceeds the type of pride you’d see in a state like Texas. I never thought I’d see that in Florida,” DeSantis said.
In addition to “pride,” the Governor credits himself with bringing “excitement” to the state.
“People were excited, have been excited, about what we’ve done. But the excitement is in the results that are produced. The excitement is when something is wrong, they know that I’ll show up and I’ll make it right,” DeSantis said.
The Governor has credited himself with bringing “pride” to Florida before, though this is the first time he likened it to Texas. He also gave himself credit for such in New Hampshire.
“I was born and raised in Florida, and it’s only been recently that we’ve developed a sense of state pride ourselves,” DeSantis said at a New Hampshire GOP dinner this spring. “We’re proud to have stood up for freedom in the last few years when it wasn’t easy. We did it our own way and I’m proud of that.”
“But I must admit, we draw inspiration from the people here in New Hampshire,” DeSantis continued. “Because more than any other state, you don’t mince words when it comes to your stand on liberty. You say it very clearly: Live Free or Die.”
He returned to that theme in May.
“Florida’s got moxie,” DeSantis said, apparently quoting a magazine in talking about the “pride” he says the state now has.
“Basically they said, you know, it’s the free state of Florida where woke is broke, where men are men and where business is booming,” DeSantis continued. “And I’m like, you know what? That’s not a bad slogan.”

Governor DeSantis had excellent performance through COVID and catastrophic hurricane.
No gives a shit about your constant gay-centric criticism. 22M people in Florida and about 5,000 whining fairies.

Bigot Thomas Kaspar GOES THERE with this comment, ok guy. Your tiny gov is actually an embarrassment to your state and a harbinger of future ills to befall Florida.

Thomas, if gives a shit about “constant gay-centric criticism,” could you enlighten us here in the ignorant public as to why the Rhonda campaign platform consists almost exclusively of “constant gay-centric criticism?” (I say “almost” because of Rhonda’s expressed disdain for books and colleges. )

Governor DeSantis had an abysmal performance through COVID with the 12th highest per capita dead and would have sunk the state after our catastrophic hurricane if not for Federal funds released from President Biden.
No gives a shit about the constant fan boy ass kissing. 22M people in Florida and about 5,000 cheerleading right wingers.

If he means proud to be an ignoramus, I agree. I have lived in Florida since 1947. He is one of the worst governors in my memory though Rick Scott is a contender.

Here since 1955, can’t agree more. Problem is our population is new to Florida, prefers parking lots and tract housing to wilderness. We need to turn the air conditioning off for the month of August and thin out the herd.

He brought shame and headache and stupidity to Florida.
The state legislature should be ashamed of themselves for being yes sir all the time for this crazy person who only care about himself and doesn’t give a damn for the people of Florida.
His shit woke and war with Disney costing the state billions in $ and job .
His anti immigration policies costing the farmer the crops and higher prices for the consumer and the tourism industry is struggling.

aIt is likely that DeSantis has *triggered* a start to an inevitable economic decline for Florida. Whether or not the state’s next governor will take steps to try and reverse that of course remains to be seen but is unlikely as the state will continue to be dominated by its Republican Party and climate and insurance related issues will only get worse over time.

Good evening America,
I, Earl Pitts American, feel its just a play on words which was cleverly designed to invoke an involuntary situation inside everyones brain to take control of everyones feelings by the use of “trigger” words which the left thinks are their own personal words.
In this case the word “pride” is being cleverly used as a trigger word to evoke subconcious negative feelings twoards the left who hijacked both the word 1.) “Pride” and God’s Holy promise to Noah by hijacking the word 2.) “rainbow”.
Clever indeed “The Ronald”.
Thank you America,
Earl Pitts American

Thank you as always my main man Smelliott. Without our next level tag team of me, Earl Pitts American, stirring up the conservatives followed up by you, Smelliott Offen, counter punching by stirring up the leftists, neither of us could have singlehandedly obtained the high level of super-stardom as the most powerful and sought after “Social Media Influncers” that both of us enjoy today.
And lest we forget our benevolant and beloved host, F. P. has enjoyed a skyrocketing level of readership from our fans, normal everyday Americans, visiting with the main reason to see what the premier tag team champions of the world of “Social Media Influncers” are up to on “The Earl And Smelliott Show”. BTW Net Flicks is still bothering me, Earl Pitts American, for a contract to do on-line streaming of “The Earl And Smelliott Show”.
Thanks Smelliott,

No that chump disgraced himself and his family name Pitts.
Pitts is my middle name my last name is American. Keep in mind the time frame you are speaking of [1953] the FBI was different but still weird as it was directed under that closeted homertestical J. Edger Hoover. Always been a weird and creepy agency.
Thank you for your inquiry,

DeSantis is Florida’s worst governor! This state has the highest inflation in the USA. 20 years of failed Republican leadership is on full display!

Good mornting America,
A 2 part request:
Part 1.)
I, Earl Pitts American, invite everybody to read all the comments made so far on the entire thread above from start to finish. Pay close attention to how childish, moronic, and down-right stupid all the leftist commentaters are. Hopefully you are not too disapointed and disgusted to engage in part 2 of this political lesson of the day.
Part 2.)
Now please go back and re-read just the wise, educated, and relevant postings of me, Earl Pitts “Social Media Influncer Extrodiner” American, and take note of the great political pure “D” genious level of truth and “On-time Relevent Information” you are receiving for free from me, Earl Pitts American.
You are welcome America,

We marchers outside Disney are very proud of Florida. We give all our support to Ron DeSantis as being Trump’s VP.
If Ron runs in 2028 for the big boy job, at that time we will fully support Ron for Prez in 2028 since Trump would not be eligible for a 4th term.

Good afternoon Marchers,
I, The Earl of Florida, am on my way over to Orlando with several Hot-Dog carts stocked full of dogs, lemonaid, and of course Beer to speak with you on why we are going with Ron Desantis as POTUS and “The Donald” Donald Trump as our Border Czar.
Each Hot-Dog cart will be staffed with at least two of my, The Earl of Florida’s, Famous Bikini Girls In High Heels Crew Members to take good care of all your customer service wants. needs, and desires *as long as your desires are not too weird and/or too kinky*
Thank you Marchers,

Earl we’ll take your offer of hot dogs but please no bikini girls. We are incels and girls make us feel very uncomfortable. Our own little hot dogs get bothered and we don’t know what to do except go play online FPS games and hurl insults at the femoids which is something we will do anyways, so you might as well save the bikini girls the bother and/or save yourself the expense of hiring the bikini girls. Thank you for your support

My goodness gracious Mister Governor Ronald DeSantis, look how proud you are of yourself. And you think you have restored pride to the citizens of the state of Florida with all your mean-spirited bullying and your dissemination of hate, you silly little man? Lucky that you have sycophants around you to keep that foolish prideful grin on you face. Otherwise I believe you would deflate like a balloon with a little prick, bless your heart.
My Take
July 15, 2023 at 2:45 pm
You may be on to something.
Gasbag inflation rather than weight may explain the roudness.
