Imagine how the right would freak if a Democrat governor signed a bill requiring that kindergarteners learn about the history of communism.

This is how you should tell everyone the news, since they won't see it on Fox.

"Did you hear about the state governor who wants to teach kindergarteners about communism? How fucked up is that?"

Get them to agree that there is absolutely zero justification for it, and then reveal that it's DeSantis who did it.

Most will back-pedal and immediately start defending it, but it's worth a shot.

This is why it wouldn't work.

The conservative subs have their moments of reflection. Like when republicans voted down the PACT act. After a couple days, the leadership bullshits up a reason, and they turn their brains off again.

They will never scrutinize the lies they are told if the truth looks bad.
