Republican’s New Bill Would Eliminate The Florida Democratic Party

GOP cancel culture strikes again as Senator Blaise Ingoglia tries to pass a bill that would eliminate the Florida Democratic party if it’s signed into law. Ingoglia filed SB 1248, which would be called “The Ultimate Cancel Act.” This comes at the same time that Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been calling for a “national divorce” to separate blue and red states.

WESH reports:

While it does not mention the Democratic party’s name, it would direct the Florida Division of Elections to “immediately cancel the filings of a political party, to include its registration and approved status as a political party, if the party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.”

Southern Democrats advocated for slavery during the Civil War.

Under the Bill, registered Democrats would be automatically re-registered as having “no party affiliation.” The Democratic party officers could reorganize, but only under a substantially different name.

“For years now, leftist activists have been trying to “cancel” people and companies for things they have said or done in the past. This includes the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings. Using this standard, it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democrat Party itself for the same reason,” explained Sen. Ingoglia.

The Florida Democratic Party issued a statement.

“Presenting a bill that would disenfranchise 5 million voters is both unconstitutional and unserious,” the statement reads. “Under Ron DeSantis, Senator Ingoglia is using his office to push bills that are nothing more than publicity stunts instead of focusing on the issues that matter most to Floridians, such as reforming property insurance, addressing housing affordability, and combating climate change.”

“The sooner DeSantis and his puppets in the legislature learn that Florida is a Democratic Republic and not a Banana Republic, the better it will be for all Floridians,” it adds.

Republicans have become so extreme that they would eliminate the opposing party. They tried that on Jan. 6th, too. And now they want to do it on a state level. I’m starting to see a pattern here.
