Ron DeSantis is a fucking fascist. is he also a war criminal?

some very unsavory stories have come to light

there is no doubt that Ron DeSantis is a bully and a sadist. we’ve all seen this in action. just watch him as he “governs.” he’s yelled at students for wearing masks. he tried to cut funding for disabled athletes. he rounded up legal migrants, herded them onto planes and shipped them off to who the fuck cares, just get them the fuck out of his sight already.

could we have seen this coming? was there something in Ron’s past that could have tipped us off to his love for inflicting pain onto helpless people?

spoiler alert: it turns out the answer is a big fat yes.

Ron DeSantis was a “specialist” at Gitmo.

“Ron DeSantis was there watching us. We were crying, screaming. We were tied to the feeding chair. And he was watching. He was laughing. Our stomachs could not hold this amount of Ensure. They poured one can after another. So when he approached me, I said, ‘This is the way we are treated!’ He said, ‘You should eat.’ I threw up in his face. Literally on his face.”
— Mansoor Adayfi, held without charge at Guantanamo Bay, 2002-2016, describing force feeding used by guards to break a hunger strike

holy.

fucking.

shit.

it all makes sense now, doesn’t it.

the Governor Ron DeSantis official web site makes no mention of his time at the Guantanamo prison camp. military records released by the Navy in 2018 were heavily redacted.

right now there are only whisperings about DeSantis’s unsavory background. but the wider media at large is beginning to take notice.

no wonder DeSantis is trying like hell to roll back press freedoms so he can sue the shit out of reporters who print things he doesn’t like.

but all of this going to come out sooner or later. probably sooner. and it will end up in the opposition research package of every competing campaign.

unfortunately, when this does end up getting reported widely, it will only make the abuse aficionados in the Republican Party love Ron more. put money on this.
