Charlotte! Sometimes you write something so stirring, so moving, so elegant, I AM DAZZLED!!

P.S. And by "sometimes," I mean pretty much all the time.

Well done! The best satire is based on a foundation of truth, and it's scary that it took a minute to figure out this wasn't real. We all know, though, that that's what DeSantis is really thinking.

I wasn’t sure. I had to come to the comments to verify. 🤭

It's so damn believable you had me madly searching the headlines! I just arrived in the state of "not free" Florida to visit some family. My campaign for them to vacate this fascist-run cesspool continues...

Thanks, as always for your brilliant perspective. You know he's thinking it.

I really thought this was legit (thanks to the comments for keeping me sane). Well done. SNL should option this as a skit.

you almost had me, Charlotte. ... fact is definitely stranger than fiction, and DeSantis is even stranger than fact.

Ok, Charlotte, you roped me into this one! Hook, line and sinker! Because with DeSantis, it is impossible to see the line between Satire and Truth.

Have to back away and laugh a little at myself!

You had me going......because EVERY “quote” from this ahole is totally, 100% believable. Who even needs the Onion anymore? Thanks for the well needed guffaws! Charlotte, I’m once again in awe.

I'm laughing out loud at the sheer lack of awareness by DeSantis. If his homophobia wasn't so scary, he just be a total joke. "David Bowie didn't wear dresses?" Just wow!
