Activists in the Democratic Party realize that the Republicans have handed us an opportunity to win over Independents and even some Republicans. The funniest example will be here in Naples Florida. In a Republican dominated area DeSantis' ban on businesses which require masking will, if enforced, outrage many of those who love art, opera and ballet since our beloved "Artis Naples" has instituted a policy of requiring masking and possibly vaccination proof for events. Coupled with a small but loud segment of our "neighbors" who want to make Naples City an abortion free city DeSantis and his cohort of Trumpians are turning off many independents and some Republicans as well as energizing Democrats. There is hope that, in a closely divided state (Rubio and DeSantis only won by less than 1% margins), we can turn Florida Blue.

Yes, Fern, as much as I want to see the infrastructure bill come to fruition, it’s VOTING RIGHTS that we must have to move forward in my lifetime. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am here in this very same city with you and I am also hoping that this overreach by DeSantis does just as you suggest.
