I'm still like !!! that their team put in a clip from American Psycho as if that's a nice comparison they want to make???? Fuck him.

People like Ron or people who’d vote for Ron definitely don’t have enough brain cells to understand the movie

it's intentional, there's a huge subsection of young conservative men who are both aware the movie is a satire but wish it wasn't who aspire to be patrick bateman.

god desantis has ruined florida enough please leave the rest of us the fuck alone

I mean not having a Democratic governor since the last century has destroyed Florida, let's not forget what a horror Rick Scott was and is, but yeah. It's kind of astounding how shit has gone downhill here. Housing prices tripled, we still have red tide, and he's fucking with one of the state's biggest employers and costing jobs because he's a weird Disney Adult who has issues with the Mouse for whatever reason, probably because he accidentally attended Gay Day in a red shirt once who knows

edit: oh yeah and let's not forget teachers are fleeing the state en masse and education is going down the shitter

[bellwetherr]

yeah its definitely been a mess since way longer than desantis, he's benefitted from a lot of what happened before him. it's just so startling to see everything seem to snowball so quickly.

i am so sorry. i really am <3

like I'm just glad my grad degree from a Florida university is from a private school because I feel like public universities are going to be such a joke soon, especially in my field (sociology). Which is a shame. Florida State in particular has a history of putting out some excellent Sociology PhDs.

I'm just hoping the value of my condo stays high (I think it will, unlike other home prices my place has only increased in value) because in a few years when my roommate's child is 18 and done with being raised, we are all fleeing the state. I'm probably going to go back to Oregon (or maybe Washington) with my roommates and buy a place with them out there. Thankfully home prices in the northwest are dropping but my condo is holding steady since there are so few affordable housing options around South Florida now.

my mother is determined to stay here and is so set in her ways that I hope it doesn't get too bad for her sake. she is gay and it makes me worry.

Can they take some kind of legal action? It's so stupid how these repbulicans keep using art by people who don't agree with them at all and think they can just get away with it.

I think they keep doing it because arguably they have been getting away with it. I hope the PB team reams them with a lawsuit so big it makes him fold the campaign. Not likely but a girl can hope!

[insomniachobs]

I'm pretty sure they can come after them for unauthorised use, but I don't think it'd cost the assholes enough money to be a deterrent.

the thing is conservatives know exactly what they're doing when they pull this shit. its like when Trump uses Fortunate Son, or We're Not Gonna Take It, and everyone's like "don't you know what that song's about????" lol of course they do, that's the point, they don't have anything of their own so they steal and mould it to their narrative, knowing the backlash will push their message further than it would have gotten on its own. artists will speak out, and so they should, because god knows i wouldn't want anyone thinking i'd given anything to these steaming shitpiles willingly but, ultimately, it just fuels the fire, which is what they're counting on. i hate it.
