Ron DeSantis is building a campaign of misinformation and hate

An echo opinion letter published in the Ventura County Star newspaper, in California:

Re: March 7 story, “Florida Gov. DeSantis draws protests to Reagan library”:

In an attempt to spread his message of hate, (failed) Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated it was not possible for a child to choose their gender.

The laws in Florida denying the rights of people to determine who they are is nothing more than the dumbing down of Americans. 

Hate is exacerbated by radical right-wing organizations like (Fake!) Fox News whose CEO admitted in a sworn deposition that he knew his broadcasters were lying. 

Freedom of the press does not include spewing political propaganda.

(Maine Writer- unfortunately all free speech is protected.)

Taking away the rights of women to determine their own body autonomy, making laws that deny historic facts, banning books and forcing religious views on others through legislation is contributing to the division in our country. Controlling the press and passing laws that make it legal to hurt those who are different is how the Nazis came to power. 

In a democracy, those who govern are determined by voters. When enough people vote, those who would divide us become unable to force their views on the rest of us.
