I’m not wantonly using the term “fascist” as a random pejorative; I literally mean that DeSantis is pursuing his agenda for autocratic power with a stereotypically fascist methodology of trying to engender fear and anger by scapegoating a relatively powerless minority by accusing them of undermining cultural mores and “grooming” children. I’ll aver from going into greater detail here and just point back to [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ron-desantis-is-a-fascist/980464/111) for more extensive discussion.
