This needs to be the loudest point made as part of any of it. Anyone in that state who is unhappy with how it's going should probably vote. It's so bizarre to me that people are watching this happen in their jurisdiction and still won't get out there and do the bare minimum to change it. It's beyond wild that DeSantis is being allowed to continue his destructive dealings with no notable resistance.
I remember a time when if an elected politician did something that enough of the population disagreed with, they were removed from office. I'll have to go find the article.
I could not find the specific example I was thinking of, but the wiki on recalled politicians was good enough. It happens a fair amount. Since 2011, Florida has had 3 recalled politicians.
