Gov. DeSantis’s (R-FL) campaign employee was fired after posting a Twitter video with Nazi imagery. The video was posted on Tuesday and featured images of Hitler and swastikas.
“Nate Hochman is no longer with the campaign. And we will not be commenting on him further,” the spokesperson said.“I don’t use the F word, the fascist word, too often,” Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an expert on fascism and authoritarianism,. “But Ron DeSantis, I have called him many times ‘the Florida fascist.’ He will make himself to be anything he thinks will help him to get ahead. This is what Mussolini did.
Ben-Ghiat then cited the DeSantis administration’s moves to limit the teaching of factual history, particularly about the role of racism and white supremacy in the U.S. “When a child or a college student reads about racial discrimination, they may feel a spark of injustice and want to do something about it,” Ben-Ghiat said. “That’s what Ron DeSantis doesn’t want to happen. He wants to create a kind of passive, ignorant population.
DeSantis’s dangerous actions are textbook proto-fascist measures. … [His] actions are about intimidation, silencing potential dissident voices, preempting critical thinking from young people that might lead to informed political action, and flexing his muscle to silence voices that do not echo his own.is a nonprofit news platform and we cannot publish the stories you’re reading without generous support from people like you.
