Nevermind the fact that DeSantis was following TRUMP's lockdown orders...

Trump issues ‘Coronavirus Guidelines’ for next 15 days to slow pandemic

And then there's THIS:

29 times Trump praised @RonDeSantis in 2020 for doing a fantastic, spectacular, incredible, great job on COVID — and keeping Florida OPEN and FREE!

never locked down Florida, shut down small businesses, and kept bars open.

When, exactly, did DeSantis say this?

In truth I am a hardened Trump supporter but shutting down bars during the beginning of the coronavirus/flu scare/scam in the midst of real hysteria seems a little like grasping at straws. Where my wife and I live you couldn’t even go into a hardware store without proving you were doing “essential work”.

So DeSantis complied with the CDC who was enabled by… oh yeah?

Not a winning issue for anyone with a memory.

The democRATs and their media allies are working extra hard to cement that wedge between the various GOP factions.

So Trump lets the Nazis lay ruin to American democracy and freedom and from coast-to-coast spread fear and panic and shut-downs, destroying tens of millions of livelihoods, but DeSantis is evil because he resisted only 99.8%, but shut down drinking establishments and enforced social distancing.

I am so unbelievably sick of this crap. Shut downs and even masking mandates were totally useless. School closures robbed kids of their education in 40-something states. Trump did nothing but send incoherent tweets. But you know what was an entirely reasonable precaution? Social distancing.

I’ll never unsee the sight of Fauci simply getting off on tea-bagging Trump, rolling his eyes and making a total buffoon, and castrated Trump standing there utterly helpless.

You put the “con” in soconpubbie. IMHO, you’re by far the worst nonsense peddler on this site. You’re just weird.

Here is a summary of what actually happened, from Wikipedia.

On April 1, 2020, Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order to restrict activities within the state to those deemed as essential services.[6] By June 2020, DeSantis had adopted a more targeted approach to the pandemic, declaring in mid-June that,

"We’re not shutting down, we’re gonna go forward, we’re gonna continue to protect the most vulnerable....particularly when you have a virus that disproportionately impacts one segment of society, to suppress a lot of working-age people at this point I don’t think would likely be very effective.”

That targeted approach was similar to what the Great Barrington Declaration would recommend later in October. DeSantis got vaccinated voluntarily against Covid 19, and expressed enthusiasm for people getting their shots, but he has also opposed forcing people to do it.

On September 25, 2020, Florida lifted all remaining capacity restrictions on businesses, while also prohibiting local governments from enforcing public health orders with fines, or restricting restaurants to less than 50% capacity.

When Trump makes these wild accusations conservatives understand he’s a politician in a fight and is bound to exaggerate. Trump’s facial expressions when he tells these little fibs telegraphs to the viewer that Trump knows that the viewer knows that “he is just doing what he has to do to win.”

However, when you publish the same misleading stuff - I’m not saying you are completely dishonest - it is not as endearing.

I confess to being a Trump fan and I would vote for him a third time, but I am not a “cultist”. I live in FL and think that DeSantis has done a remarkable job here and would kinda like him to stay as FL’s Governor until the ‘28 election cycle. That said, the Trump cultists seem terrified by DeSantis’s potential as the ‘24 candidate. These “lockdowns” detailed here were in direct response to President Trump’s repeated calls for 15 day lockdowns. DeSantis ended them earlier than any other Governor in the country. Why are exactly are the cultists so frightened?

Democrats continued to promote shutdowns in some places until early 2023, and some are warning they could be imposed again.

Flame away

It's obviously coming from a very biased source, but there's no getting around the facts posted here:

Trump War Room on Twitter (3/29/2023)

The original lockdown orders were bad enough. They've been magnified about a million times over by the way the DeSantis cabal has attempted to completely whitewash this and pretend it never happened.

When Democratic governors were imposing these kinds of lockdown orders, we were rightly calling them 'effing Nazis.

You lie worse than Adam Schiff.

RightLife News is some idiot blog, started by who...you?

I was there, still am. Desantis went along with Trump and the CDC for about 2 weeks, then pulled the plug. Florida got trashed by msm and quite a few here for “opening too soon!!!”

They started calling Ron, “Deathsantis,” fer crying out loud.

We Florida Freepers are very,very happy with the way Desantis got us out of the Scamdemic so fast!

So quit lying, Schiff for brains!

I think we’re seeing an outbreak of DDS - DeSantis Derangement Syndrome in FR.

He was the best thing since sliced bread until he dared challenge their “dear leader”.

I wonder how many of these afflicted people would actually NOT vote for DeSantis if he were to be the nominee?

Quit lying. He never said nothing was shut down. He corrected course quickly and pushed to reopen and prevent vaccine mandates if any kind. This is embarrassing for anyone with a lick of common sense. Florida was THE epicenter of relying on actual data and fighting the Fauci forever-pandemic model out of Washington and the left. The country knows
Florida was the leader in Covid policy. It is why hundreds of thousands moved here and million traveled here.

Wow. Who cares. I’m shocked you’re living in the past. Actually I’m not. You’re still living in the 2020 election results. You need to grow a bit. Expend your horizon. Bottom line. Stop being miserable and delusional.

Most were bars and restaurants. Where people sat together.

What a crock of crap this article is. This is what we expect from Only Trumpers running scared.

Let’s see now. What could I post that would equal the BS that is found here?

I know. Donald Trump pees on Russian Hookers.
