The Summary

Part 1 of this diary is entirely devoted to covering the racist, anti-intellectual rants of the Republican Governor of Floriduh, Ron DeSantis. To say the editorial cartoonists portrayed him harshly this past week is to understate the case.

DeSantis is clearly trying to appeal to the worst instincts of MAGA-heads in order to fend off Donald Trump and secure the 2024 GOP nomination for President. How much will he poison the minds of such morons to succeed? Clearly, he will go to any lengths to become President. The cartoonists see him as denying reality and adopting blatantly racist positions when it comes to the teaching of black history. Limiting what is taught in Florida schools and restricting certain books from public libraries does not — and will not — erase history.

There are 25 editorial cartoons in this diary. I will post at least another 10-15 on DeSantis, the ongoing trials and tribulations of one George Santos, obscene levels of profits by the fossil fuel industry, and assorted other topics in the news.

Part 2, which I hope to post at some point tomoorow, will focus, among other topics, editorial cartoons on police brutality, the clown show that is the GOP-dominated US House of Representatives, and Donald Trump’s efforts to try and stay politicallyrelevant.
