"We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests." - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Four Freedoms Speech
"We're gonna go after these third world countries that have become hotbeds of antisemitism"
Is soo true
And its true
Wrong Duh santis needs to go!!
Biden and Kamala need to go! De Santis is needed. If you live in Florida and feel this way move to Democrat run cities.
I agree. Ron Desantis is a fascist...like so many in the Republican party these days. Not the Republican party we used to know. 😐
And neither is the Democratic Party.
@@alexjames1397 The Democrats don't have any thing to do with the ideology that Ron Desantis represents...come to think of it...neither does the Republican party if it were more moderate and less extremist. 🤷♀️ Honestly, this Desantis guy is two scoops of crazy in a bowl of fruit loops. 😐
And Trump ain't much better. 😐
The republican party hasnt changed, the way americans think has. The democrats tell you lies and you believe it
Fascinating stupidity the democrats are
@@800wings I know very well what a fascist is. A fascist is someone who claims to love freedom but passes laws that restrict freedom. A fascist favors rule of the elite and the corporations in the same way that a communist favors rule by government alone. There's no balance of power in either extreme of such a system. In a government of "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union", anyone who takes anything to either extreme presents a clear and present danger to our democracy, our constitution, and our national security. So yes, I know very well what a fascist is because they seem to take issue with our constitution while claiming to defend it. 👩🦰🇺🇸
The best! ❤
Thank God this is being spoken about. I've had comments saying he's so nice, and I dont' know what fascist means. Oh Lord, we need help!! Keep speaking up!! Please!!
You don’t know what a fascist is. DeSantis is in no way fascist. There is no indication of DeSantis believing in anything like National Socialism. He is a good American who has served this country well and who will allow individuals to choose to live as they please. He will not allow Disney indoctrination theme parks and movies to turn children transgender.
He's the antithesis of nice. He wouldn't even have a girlfriend who wouldn't completely agree with him and NEVER was allowed to question anything he said. He shouldn't ever be even remotely close to any kind of position of power.
How is DeSantis bring facist when the left right now is the one being facist.
I am not for any one person ruling a country or society, on the outside looking in ,our country under this current leadership (rule) has become a scary place!
That is because of right wing whackjobs not the person in charge.
Being under Biden is scary. What rock are you living under these past three years?
DeSantis is a nightmare, get out of Florida if you can
So why is everyone moving there?
Lol why are so many people moving to Florida and moving out of California 🧐
@@bretthall3519lotta Californians moving to Texas
Yes please do.
Go to IL, CA, NY, NJ please.
@@fatherson5907 get a job
PROTEST!!!!
My BFF lives in Florida and she wants to move out, she was born and raised there. Said DeSantis IS a Fascist.
Your BFF lives in a shelter and you’re a bigot.
You don't have the guts to move anywhere. And you know it.
She is right!
@@josiealvarado2296 you’re a racist 🤣
Where does she get her information? Tell me the source, and I'll tell you what she believes about everything.
Creating his Desantis world.
We can't wait till his time comes to an end. He is.
Dream on, lazy lib!
RON De Scam US🇺🇲
I pushed translate to English and it says "ron is the best governor"
@@pierrepowers4646 he is best at destruction of human lives. Not necessarily "best" is a positive word
@@Robbie_SDon't think so, Dembot!
@@kathys.1764 he's attacked schools and teachers, making most educators leave the state for fear of their lives. Meaning less education and a weaker workforce.
He's attacked immigrants, causing them to leave and put many businesses in danger and causing Florida's economy to drop.
A new bill he will undoubtedly pass makes it so small towns have no say over large companies, which will kill off small towns.
He's in a long campaign to destroy anything that will help Florida as a whole while he's nowhere near the state. He only destroys and never creates anything but hate
@@Robbie_S you live in florida? No, then stop believing these racist democratic lies. Florida is a free state while all these blue states are not free.

YES
Truth?? LOLOLOL

@@kathys.1764 I think we're saying the same thing, she does have a lot of common sense that's why I said she's telling the truth.
I don’t call him DeStalin for nothing!
Reason being, pathetic and comical attempts at slander. lol.
@@beaur252 More like his attempts to mirror the atrocities of the original Stalin. It’s _not_ meant to be funny any more than calling 45 Twitler!
@@dragondancer1814 I dont call your boy joe names. The truth is good enough. He is very old. His diminished mental capabilities are quite obvious to all.... His policies are failing. He has extreme views. He is costing americans alot of money (gas prices, leading to higher everything).
And if we want to discuss "fascism" the dems have outdone every republican with oppression of the opposition via the media and social media. THe weaponization of the doj would also not be indicative trait of a democracy and free society.
Hope this clears up your confusion. You may now return to your childish name calling.
Stalin was a communist. Hitler was a fascist.
Call him DeSatan. I live in FL, but not for much longer. I feel sorry for America if DeSatan OR Trump become POTUS.
Florida ha become an awful place to live. Woke is a good thing. DeSatan is a bad thing. He is supposed to be of italian descent, just like Mussolini. A fascist.
As someone who votes for the person and not the party i must say she's not that far off base. When he went after Disney for exercising their right of free speech, he lost my vote forever.
That was when he gained mine, actually. Disney is a soulless megacorporation that exploits its workers and hobbles up the little guy. As a lifelong Democrat, i have seen the left embrace greedy capitalists and only a few on the right ironically being the ones to keep them in check.
Thank you!! We have decided to re register in Florida, and go BLUE
@@marlysmithsonian5746 Marly is stupid!
Why do all of this fascist want to lose again as they have lost in the past …
I agree
how does this have only 10k views? it's clearly suppressed given your sub count
Ever heard of Fascist Slippery Slope Argument? Your party uses this FAR TOO MUCH!
Sure Fascist!
Create?, that's what florida already is'!!!
Yes, people are wake'g up to him and his play☝️
As a Floridian, the Florida Fascist makes Claude Kirk look like a great Governor. As the Professor states the great thing is that Desantis is mobilizing laid back, fun loving Floridians into organizing and fund raising against his state takeover. He has pulled together disparate elements all over the state as we sink into the morass of the highest inflation, worst housing and insurance crises, bad business and education policies and least prepared for a future of climate change.
LOL Climate change. You think man can control the climate. I want to be a Jedi Knight. Can you help me? LOL
"Fun loving Floridians"? Try IMMATURE DOPES want to groom kids!
That's not DeSantis fault at all. It's the Biden Administration and Woke democratic run cities being destroyed and their drones moving down the Florida and never dropped off there idiocy back in Chicago.
Ron DeFascist
I would love to watch an episode of who Do You Think You Are so that we can see DeSantis' reaction when he finds out just how much African genetics he has in him. Does this man really not realize that he is creating racial hatred towards brown people when he's actually a POC himself?
I don't think he would mind. He's not a white supremacists like you guys want him to be.
Facist has got to be single most prostituted word I've ever heard.
I give it a silver...the Gold medal goes to the word "expert"!
The facist thing I see is the teans movement indoctrination of very young children and vulnerable teenagers in a divisive, harmful world.
He is the new Mussolini
DO NOT LET THIS GUY BE PRESIDENT‼️‼️ DONT LET 2016 REPEAT ITSELF‼️
Some of us like being on the side of the strong. We will happily crush the opposition like ants.
@@PreferredCustomerYou want a strong leader, move to Russia or Hungary.
@@sawtooth808that's an illusion used for his political ambitions. How can anyone think he's strong when he's using parents' love and natural protective instincts for his own benefit? He tells you what you can say,think,read and you call that good and strong? You need to pay close attention to what he does because he'll flip if his current strategy isn't working.
@@PreferredCustomerDuffus!
@@josiealvarado2296LOL!
Fasict is the right word, let stay in Florida an rule there, not the whole of the usa.
DeSantis is educated as a Lawyer, so he studied the US Constitution. He was a JAG Officer in the US Navy, so he took an Oath. It is amazing that he embraces Fascism the way he does. Despicable…!!!
The Navy are all a bunch of military fascists. He went to an elite Ivy League ruling class school.
Why does this surprise you?
It was despicable of him to use the media both the press and the internet social media to oppress all opposition during the last couple of elections... It was wrong and clearly fascist actions to to that, as well as weaponize the DOJ.
Ohhhh thats right. that was the dems!!
Name what he did that's fascist?
@@JaysLife78 if I have to explain it to you, then you are the root cause of the problem, actually your ignorance of what Fascism is, that is the problem…!!!
@@JaysLife78Ban books about the history of racism in the US...
What Conservative or Republican don't they call a fascist.
They don’t call Chris Christie a fascist.
The 2 Bushes nor Reagan were Fascists!
@@sawtooth808Nope, "they" call him a useless RHINO who can't read the room.
Ron Paul?
There’s a reason people are fleeing to Florida. I pray for DeSantis but at this point we need Trump to protect us from all this evil corruption. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
👈🏻🤭😀😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. are you seriously, it's going to be another piece of cake for Joe Biden 😀😀😀
Trump is the worse corrupted criminal in power
None of the above!
Based on what statistics. You are like all Democrats, say something vague and stick to it. After reading your comment again, I have to say that I agree with you. I thought you were saying people were running from states like Florida and Texas. I apologize and want to say that I meant the previous comment to show support for conservatives and not for UniParty Rino's and Democrats.
Bless your heart
Is 'historian' her pronoun?
He’s a racist . So what did we black ppl benefit from slavery?
Ron who should have stayed in your space and you should have supported your mentor not very graceful towards Trump
Even more relevant now with the new bill he passed with people being able to get guns with no permit
Do fascists allow the populace to be armed?
How is supporting the second amendment fascist?
@@SethGossard It's not. I think fascists generally prefer the populace to be unarmed and unable to fight back.
@@jrod608no, fascists just prefer the right ( white ) people be armed. They are very good at spreading fear and telling the weak minded who to hate though. Immigrants, LGBTQ, and so on. Fascists also like to scape goat for failed policies by blaming any one else such as socialists, communists, Jews and so forth. They usually claim the military is weak and needs to be strengthened to prove national might and seem to think their country alone has a special place in the world.
They also prefer to control the kids education and indoctrination, the Hitler youth as an example, by strictly controlling what can and cannot be taught. Banning certain books that don’t fit their ideology is a favourite move. Rewriting history is a another favourite pass time of fascists. Making their own secret police to control elections and who is allowed to vote is a popular move amongst fascists until they get rid of all elections. See Germany 1923 to 1945 for reference material if you would like to learn more.
@jrod608 that's Biden not DeSantis.
You are 100% correct in your assessment of these Fascists.
Thank you for speaking the truth.
You have no clue what fascist actually do
You don't know what a fascist is
@@GayRetard69No you don’t!
@@josiealvarado2296 no u
Real facism is forcing gender theory and purposely confusing kids into beliving they are the opposite gender and loping off there you know what.
When are you going to live the socialist dream in Venezuela?
We do have a lot of socialized Govt . It is necessary to a point. VA administration , police , fire , FEMA , social security, public schools, public libraries, Medicaid, Medicare. That doesn’t mean the country will end up like Venezuela. That would’ve happened if President Trump had done a coup against the administration that one then we would be in Venezuela thank God that we have laws in the constitution, and no one can escape, including Trump.
Vote blue save America
I hope she’s right!!
What a wacko. Comparing DeSantis to Mussolini is absurd. DeSantis is working with a constitution and Mussolini did not. So if the Florida citizens and legislature want what he promotes -- so be it! That is the way a constitutional government works and it is not being fascist as she claims.
Tell me which politician that you can not reach that conclusion if you don’t like them in the first place for various other reasons? Any leadership decisions that I disagree with can lead to this criticism. Just saying “historian” means literally nothing to me as a “historian “ myself. She has allowed her wokism to dictate her conclusions. She sees the divisive teachings of CRT as a tool to weaken and overturn what she believes is rife with unjust systems. We teach history in Florida, but reject the attempt to use it as evidence in a court case to convict us as the worst country ever. Wokism will poke, prod and accuse until the threat is too great causing a defensive backlash. Then they will cry,” see how hateful and fragile those “ White males” are? Already being said. Finally what has Ron ever said that indicates that he longs for a “ white, Christian “ only America? Why is she anti any color or Christian? Quite frankly our abandonment of true Christian values is a lot of our problems to begin with.
Very, very well said 👏 They think we're stupid
Ruth Ben-Ghiat is trying to imply an image of DeSantis being a fascist. She uses a photo of Mussolini who was a fascist as if there is some association with DeSantis.She is rather simplistic in her attempt and I think 99% of thinking people see what she is attempting to do.
We don't think you're stupid...😅
Woke means aware of racism. You are obviously blind to racism. Maybe you are a racist yourself?
There are no true Christian values. Christianity is one of the most confused ideolgies in the world and can be used to support any evil activity, like slavery for instance. Through the times you have often find the fascist leaders team up with the Christian church. Hitler, Mussolini and now Trump and Putin is doing it.
So glad he’s governor of my state.
I'm not
@@davekay9495 bless your heart
So glad I don't live in that fascist hellhole.
So you're a fan of authoritarian wannabe dictators and thugs? Just want to be clear although I'll never understand why nor do I want to. How will you feel when he's taken a look all your rights away?
@ alexjames1397
Why? He’s turned that state into a place full of racist and stuck up Karens.
DeSantis wants to dummy down our brains 🧠 because he lacks knowledge.😢
Sure worked with you.
@@buddyreynolds8036 How?
Ruth Ben-Ghiat sure talks like a propagandist. Compares Mr DeSantis to Mussolini who was a fascist. I see Mr DeSantis as a common sense man with good family values and the farthest thing from being a fascist.
Exactly. Well said.
This Historian, couldn't recognize a fascist, if she was staring at herself in a mirror.
She just described was a fascist was. And I’m pretty sure she’s more educated on the subject than you.
Long live the republic, cow
Stay sleepy, Muricans!
Stay Fascist Repubs! Yeah that will really get you elected! Hahaha
Latinos for Ron desantis. No facist grants constitutional carry
Are you out of your very twisted mind?
I wish you knew what you were talking about. He's removing our voters rights, do you know the over 200 laws he just had enacted? You can't. Radioactive roads running water into our drinking systems, removing our voted in minimum wage, removing elected officials that he doesn't like? Going after our largest taxpayer because he wants to lie about them? You will sleep through this, then wake up when it's too late.
She is a Historian? More of an liberal activist I think. A wannabe historian that gets it wrong . I’m a Trump voter and always will be and I feel blessed to have Desantis as my Governor, really blessed.
Would Ron DeSantis be a better President than Donald Trump? I think Mr DeSantis is the right age and is a good man that sure seems to have good family values. His youth gives him the stamina for a job that is demanding. He sure seems to have common sense and is a good communicator. You have to ask yourself who would be better at bringing the country together as America is a divided country right now.
As far as Ruth Ben-Ghiat she is simplistic in her attempt to label Ron DeSantis as a fascist and 99% of people will see through her.
So what did we black ppl benefit from slavery?
Skills learned on the Plantation. Some excaped enslaved people did use those skills to better there lives in the Northern United States.
RON DESANTIS FOR PRESIDENT 2024! By far the only sane rational choice. I mean my god, look at the other two option!!!!🤮🤮
Seriously you need to take time to look at everything Biden has accomplished but look for yourself not right wing media because they aren't telling you the truth.
The governor doesn't know the difference between governing and ruling in spite of his degrees from Harvard and Yale. He wants to rule. Period.. Aren't your freedom and rights more important???
Have fun he will never win!
he is a horrible human being. You obviously dont life in FL and dont know about his over 200 new laws. He's taking our rights away and gloating about it. Please please research hi.
@@marlysmithsonian5746👍

@@mbogucki1The beginning of your diatribe is the truth! Shame those of your ilk have no ability to self-reflect.
If someone were to do the same thing as a fascist would that then make them a fascist? If the answer is yes then doesn’t that mean anyone who supports gun control is fascist? Since fascists absolutely loved gun control?
No. Gun control is supported by over 80% of the American public unless you think the vast majority of Americans including Republicans are fascists.
Ummm...facists didn't love gun control at all. That's just a right-wing pro-gun talking point that has been debunked.
@@mbogucki1 is that why the Second Reich created a national gun registry and then the Third Reich used that registry to confiscate all the guns? You’re saying that didn’t happen?

Okay....
I'm surprised an educated woman doesn't know the definition of a fascist. Every person on the planet says things that benefit themselves.
Oh please we all beg you to give us the proper definition of fascism
@@Dan0948 It's no one's job to educate your ignorance, but here you go:
fascism
noun
fas·cism ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
a mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over the individual citizen.
a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
People elaborate as to how these definitions fit DeSantis or Trump.

DeSantis is a fascist by definition

@@joyflavell7385 Anyone who calls making open carry legal and keeping pornography away from children “fascist” clearly has no idea what the word means. For a self proclaimed “historian” to spout such nonsense is infuriating for actual Historians.
