   DeSantis' Florida is creating a state-run, brownshirt "militia".

   At least some honorable people there are saying, "No way will I be part of this."

   But America's new fascists are more and more brazen. And if the rest of us don't start taking the threat they represent more seriously, they could prevail.

     The #US needs to be afraid of #DeSantis. Unlike #Trump, he is actually smart. He was a #JAG and has many other accomplishments and qualifications, which makes him a dangerous man with his beliefs.

     If Trump could convince his followers to commit treason on Jan 6 and convince his country he had nothing to do with it, imagine what De Santis could do.
