DeSantis has been making the issue one of free choice, but that's not really what he wants. He has been disingenuous on the matter. What he wants, is for everyone to be like him... even though a person wearing a mask brings no harm whatsoever, to someone who isn't wearing a mask.
Asking someone to remove their mask isn't forcing them to do so. They have complete freedom of choice to continue wearing their mask. Kicking someone out of school or firing someone for NOT being vaccinated is forcing them to do so and removing freedom of choice.DeSantis has been making the issue one of free choice, but that's not really what he wants.

You have a biased perspective. All of these characteristics you cited could be equally applied to former Vice President Dan Quayle. Quayle spent 4 years bumbling his way through speeches with malaprops, and embarrassing episodes, such as not recognizing Neil Armstrong at a White House dinner in honor of the 20th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing in July of 1989.
In the book "The Stupidest Things Ever Said by Politicians," by Ross and Kathryn Petras, Dan Quayle literally has his own chapter.
We aren't talking about the same thing.You seriously do not see the difference between asking people to remove their masks and enjoy life vs. using the full force of government to threaten peoples' livelihoods and fine companies if they do not agree?
You are correct that someone is being disingenuous. However, it isn't DeSantis.We aren't talking about the same thing.
I drew no contrast with whatever policy you're talking about. I'm simply pointing out that Ron DeSantis has been advocating for freedom of choice as to whether or not a person should wear a mask, but that is disingenuous, because he cares too much about which choice is made.
My point still holds. DeSantis has been disingenuous over what he truly wants. It's not free choice. He is opposed to mask wearing. Period.Asking someone to remove their mask isn't forcing them to do so. They have complete freedom of choice to continue wearing their mask. Kicking someone out of school or firing someone for NOT being vaccinated is forcing them to do so and removing freedom of choice.
You totally missed the point.
Joe Biden isn't the one who has been advocating for "freedom of choice" in the mask debate. Ron DeSantis has been preaching for two years now, that the decision as to whether or not to wear a mask, should be left up to the free will of each individual person. By asking those kids to "Please take them off," DeSantis made it clear that he has been disingenuous with his stated objective concerning masks. Sure, those kids have a choice .... as long as their choice is to not wear one.

2 things can be true DeSantis can be for freedom of choice while also pointing out that masks are theater even more so today... of you take the same conversation and replace masks with taking a bath, it's a similar conversation parents have with young children after 3 days of not bathing...My point still holds.

All of that mess is a planet orbiting the star named Rudy Giuliani.There are two year old cow piles that make more sense than Harris. So assign Quayle to whatever station on the bumbling scale you want, I don't care. But then setup a drilling rig and go about 25,000 ft deeper to find that air-headed Kamala. You'll find the rest of Biden's cabinet between her and Quayle.
DeSantis did more than that, He asked the kids (albeit, politely) to take their masks off. If he truly was an advocate for freedom of choice, then the choice itself wouldn't matter. Once again, what harm does a person wearing a mask bring to someone without a mask? There is none. If you disagree with their choice, that's fine, but leave them alone about it. If they are bothering you, by simply wearing a mask, then you are the one with the problem.2 things can be true DeSantis can be for freedom of choice while also pointing out that masks are theater even more so today... of you take the same conversation and replace masks with taking a bath, it's a similar conversation parents have with young children after 3 days of not bathing...
Wow is that ever weak.You totally missed the point.
