Left-Wing Salon Warns DeSantis Will Make U.S. ‘Florida’: Lab for ‘Fascist Cruelty’

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis “turned Florida into a laboratory for fascist cruelty and authoritarian oppression” and will do the same to the entire country if president, according to a recent Salon piece warning under such a scenario more women will “die,” the LGBTQ community “will be terrorized on a national scale,” more will be done to “prevent black and brown people from voting,” education will be replaced with “right-wing, ‘patriotic’ indoctrination,” and “right-wing terrorism” will proliferate.
