Let them play 'chase the lie' for once. Because a year from now that initial headline will be accurate. This is one slippery-slope argument I take seriously. Nothing on-line is hidden, someone always can find it, the only question being how hard they're looking. The state government will know who has and who has not taken the survey, and feel emboldened to make filling it out a condition for new hires, probably amid pious 'affirmative action' noises, after which it will become mandatory for continued employment. All this supposing, of course, a continued Republican choke-hold on Florida's government.

Salon has had some bad crap lately including attacks on Biden and demands that its readers no longer donate to Democrats. I have seen multiple threads on DU stating that DeathSantis has signed a bill that requires all students to register their political views. Salon made this headline up and this claim is false

I saw that online and knew it was BS because I had been keeping up with it. It's crap like this that has people pointing fingers at the Democratic Party as the one to blame. They ask why the Democratic Party let the lie stand for so long, etc, etc... It's natural for them to wonder what's going on. Salon already has a poor reputation among way too many. Why they would do this is understandable based upon what they want to accomplish, but it won't work. There's so much being tried right now that simply won't work. It'd be nice if an alarm would awaken those trying these things, but it seems they're blinded by what they've convinced themselves is true.
