Ron DeSantis

Many politicians have mildly agreeable sides, if I was looking for a Republican I was capable of working with for at least a little bit, I would’ve chosen Nikki Haley. He himself has questionable practices, and has fired several members of his cabinet before. During the Primary Debate, he acted like a coward, waiting for a moment to pander to the masses. For example, during the debate the candidates were asked to raise their hands if they would support trump even if he was convicted. He rose his hand near the end because he was visibly unsure if his party would be okay with that. In terms of…  Read more conviction, he rarely backs it up, and has been causing the very issues he claims are ruining Florida. He says that the “woke mind virus” is indoctrinating kids, but then proceeds to whitewash the school curriculums to talk about the benefits of slavery. The real estate mogul Mori Hosseini gave him an indoor golf simulator in 2019, shortly after he was elected. On the subject of bridging the gap, I’d say there’s not much to be done in the social area, but I see a common agreement in both parties: they want anti-corruption and company regulation laws. If possible, I’d try to make elections publicly funded in a bipartisan fashion, making the beginning of that process easier.

I agree, their religion doesn’t determine most of their values, but it has an overarching effect on some of it. Most leaders in Congress are Christians, and as such inflict a bias for Christian denominations and organizations. The person I responded to seemed to complain about the lack of Christian leadership despite many of our past leaders being overwhelmingly Christian. Personally, my thoughts are that we should try and just make it easier for non-Christian’s to get a chance, not by the same methods as affirmative action, but by campaigning such ideals as a society. I’d more specifically be interested in having an atheist president if we haven’t had one already, I wonder what changes they’d have in comparison to the average president.
