OP wants criticisms backed up with "facts and citations" (though I'm sure actual facts will be conveniently ignored), so please allow me!

Ron DeSantis is a fascist, full stop.

Ron DeSantis sucks. For being a member of the party of small government this fucker is an absolute control-freak that constantly uses his governmental authority to control people's lives and businesses.

Why would anyone, especially conservatives, agree to vote for this guy and consolidate all power to him and his yes-men?

Ron DeSantis is a fascist. To hell with your reasonable discussion.

Ron Desantis is un-American. He doesn't want American women to have the right of choice, he doesn't want the LGBT community to be able to live our lives and been seen, he hates immigrants and workers, he pushes Christian Nationalism, and he hates Disney. Ron Desantis will never win the majority of American votes. I hope no one votes for him, he shouldn't be the President of the United States of America.

"E Pluribus Unum" and Happy 4th of July.

Exploding Heads was defederated by Lemmy and others for being nazi / fascist.

I just can nazi why you're asking for "FAX AND CITASHUNZ!!!1!" here
