This is literal insanity.
Are they going to put Mexican Americans in internment camps next?

Yes. That is 100% the end point of this.
Unfortunately, not the end
Next? They've already done it with ICE detention centers
Not to mention deported American citizens fairly frequently, since they assume any brown person who doesn't have their license on them at the moment is illegally in the country.

German Jews' citizenship didn't protect them from the Nazis, who simply revoked their citizenship and then murdered them.
Probably the plan.
This cunt talks about Iraq like he did something there. He was a fucking lawyer 😂.
Posing as a human rights lawyer and illegally aiding in the torture of POWs at Guantanamo is the best way of forming a valid opinion on Iraq!
didn't he torture people in gitmo?
He worked there for sure, but we don't know all the details of what he did there. He probably just advised the actual torturers that what they were doing was legal.
There was a Vice Documentary that got canceled recently, apparrenlty he watched people get tortured and recommended force feeding and other fucked up things https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/desantis-guantanamo-force-feedings-canceled-documentary-1234793826/
Before anyone calls this hyperbole:
Ron DeSantis recently suggested that he would be open to ordering drone strikes on Mexican drug cartels and migrants, whom he accused of carrying drugs over the border. “We’re authorizing deadly force. They try to break into our country? They will end up stone-cold dead,” he said, and he’s not alone. Trump, Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Mike Walsh (R-FL), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Trump’s former deputy secretary of homeland security Ken Cuccinelli have all proposed various military actions in Mexico, up to and including sending in ground troops.
He gets off on cruelty. I guess his time inflicting suffering at Guantanamo wasn't enough, though.
And to think somebody can be such a fucking idiot that they make Trump look almost normal. Is this some sort of trick like in France, where Zemmour's antics were used to make LePen more palatable? Looks like it.
Psychopathic, how can a politician like this have any popular support
It's DeSantis, so he basically doesn't.
Same as any strongman leader. Talking tough reliably gets votes from a certain type of voter, even if what is proposed is utterly insane.
Because some people are also psychopaths or who prefer authoritarian leadership.
The people who support him don't know he said this.. They literally don't know shit about these people and only watch Fox news which wont air this
This guy is just trying to out-asshole the orange king of assholes. It's so weird to see people trying to gain popularity by trying to prove how horrible they are.
The US has been waging unprovoked war on Latin America since before WW1.
The only thing new about this is that this irredeemable piece of garbage is stating the quiet part out loud.
Dude is trying so hard to appeal to Trump's base, but it isn't working.
Trump is a full blown cult of personality at this point, no one else will do. Maybe that's a good thing since he doesn't seem to have much time left.
Was really hoping that link was to the living color video
There's a good chance his legacy will be even more dangerous.
Nothing is more American than invading other countries and murdering their people.

Haven't we learned our lesson about unprovoked wars after watching East Europe for the past year and a half??
@emizeko - not sure if you're a Russian troll or a poor American doing the real fascists' work for them--but I'm sorry for you my friend and hope the best for you. If you missed it in my other comments, I'm currently serving in the US military and am very confident that Western media at large is on the money, and that a novice OSINTer could refute the fanfic you posted. Best wishes.
There is fairly public pro-Russian sentiment among Republicans and their supporters. Anything to be contrarian to what the libs are talking about, even if it's non-partisan.
Oh I'm familiar with it. My entire family operates this way. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. I joined the military due to my parents fears about Russia and China invading or some shit. Now I'm the liberal because I've actually educated myself, and here they are defending the very things they were terrified of 25 years ago just to own the libs.
Yeah, they were the types that sided with the McCarthyism as part of the Red Scare, who publicly accused political figures that they'd "rather go to Moscow" or outright saying they are un-American.
Ironic that they'd now rather be Russian than Democrat, considering that the Russian Federation government is openly hostile to the freedom they take for granted.
(Not harping on Russian culture, just the political and geopolitical stance of the Russian Federation. I actually like Slavic culture.)

this is really the natural end point of their racist rhetoric
I would think the natural end point is gas chambers. This is more like the mid point.
I would say that the end point is annihilation through labor, gas expensive.
As an NPA living in floriduh, ill tell you what moment in this timeline meatball ron lost the race. He went after disney...dumb rednecks hate blacks but, fucking with disney?! hell nah..if Ron goes after Chick Fil A? they'll likely mob lynch him on the spot.
What’s an NPA?
I'll believe he lost after the votes are counted and legal battles settled.
Nah, the "anti-woke" crowd is already going after Chick Fil A. They dared to have a DEI position. The horror!
Haven't we all thought about starting an unprovoked war with Mexico when we're bored!?
Conservatism is a regressive mental disorder
The real war is hate media memes and messages that trickle down to those obedient to voices from the clouds, electric voices these days. In the old days, books that said burning bushes gave out signals.
So the republicans can’t really get anyone who has two brain cells?
I hate DeSantis as much as the next guy but cmon, this title is misleading. He said he would "drone strikes cartels," not that he wanted to go to war.
Launching military ordnance into another country is the definition of war.
If it's to kill terrorists that are enemies of both the US and Mexican government, not really.
So you'd be okay with the Chinese dropping a bomb on a house in your neighbourhood because some right-wing nut was gonna blow up a government building?
He's a terrorist, so it's all good right?
I'm not justifying it. I'm only saying the title is a bit misleading/sensationalist.
It's really not. It's a definite act of war.
I mean, I'm not going to shed any tears over a would-be Timothy McVeigh who probably fantasized about killing leftists like me.
Now, if they start bombing weddings, then we've got a problem. And yeah, the US military did that.
