'If you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous,' the governor said

----------------

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told a group of high school students to take off their face masks and stop engaging in "Covid theater" in a clip that went viral on social media.

"You do not have to wear those masks," the Florida Republican, who has been one of the nation’s most outspoken governors against mask and vaccine mandates, told students at the University of South Florida as he walked up to the podium to speak on Wednesday.

"Please take them off," DeSantis continued. "Honestly, it's not doing anything. We've gotta stop with this Covid theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous."

Shaming is all we have left to mock the mask idiots into taking them off. They wear them like security blankets.

The ones wearing a mask while driving alone or riding a bike or walking down the sidewalk with no one within hundreds of yards are the real lunatics.

He was actually sticking up for them, feeling bad for them, because they were probably told to wear masks. You see at least one person smiling as he removed his mask.

Of COURSE MSM tries to portray it as Desantis abusing kids or something, smh.

The maskerbators find it comforting and addicting.

It’s too late, i fear.

They have been completely brainwashed by the govt. indoctrination centers (e.g. schools) and media.

Now that they know how much power they wield. Who knows how far they will go.

The whole mask (and shots for that matter) thing was nothing more than an exercise in control and compliance IMO.

If you can get people, especially kids to do those things on demand what CAN’T you get them to do?

And the younger the subject is when you obtain that control and compliance the less trouble you’ll have later.

Whatever happened to “youthful rebellion”?
Compared the 1960s-1970s today’s “yutes” are stamped out of a cookie cutter!

He should do what Scott Walker didn’t do when the teacher’s union recall didn’t work. Get on the school intercoms state-wide the morning after. Speak of reconciliation and then call for a lunchtime cafeteria food fight. It was the last school week in June.

These kids have been indoctrinated since they were in diapers. They don’t know how to think for themselves.

We used to walk in the sun with our heads held up high
We used to stand on our own and we never asked why
We used to do everything we were told not to do
But now we all stand in line like the rest of them do

And now it’s gone gone gone
Tell me when did things go so wrong

We used to laugh in their face at the things that they said
And if we had to be them, then we’d rather be dead
And now we all stand in line like the rest of them do
We let it all slip away, tell me what did we do?
And now it’s gone gone gone
Tell me when did things go so wrong

-The Smithereens

“Compared the 1960s-1970s today’s “yutes” are stamped out of a cookie cutter”

These kids are the result of the woke mob teaching the kids....it’s now paying dividends......for them unfortunately.

I graduated high school in ‘78. To graduate we had to at least be exposed to a class called Americanism v/s communism. Didn’t have to pass just take the class.

I suspect the woke mob got rid of that class at some point for obvious reasons.

OBTW my supergovernor DeSantis is bringing it back.
