Slight and bespectacled, Fishback has a geeky charisma and the verbal dexterity of a former competitive high school debater. His policies are a mishmash of extreme conservatism and economic progressivism; nationalism tinged with socialism, if you will. He believes that Florida’s gun laws are too strict, its abortion laws too lax and its public teacher pay too low. He’s called for a 50 percent sin tax on OnlyFans creators and $10,000 grants to high-performing high school graduates to buy homes or start businesses. Though he’s the son of an immigrant — his mother is Colombian — he wants a total immigration moratorium.
Most of all, Fishback has made contempt for Israel and its American lobby a centerpiece of his campaign, constantly reminding audiences how much America spends on Israel while its own needs are ignored.
Oh, it’s the OnlyFans guy. LOL. If I was in Florida and making that kind of money on OF, I’d move out the very minute it became even remotely likely.
This guy is just as much of a crackpot the OF thing would indicate, though.
It’s going to be very hard to blame everything on the boomers, it seems. The zoomer-caused problems may surpass everything that came prior…
Why is there no mention of his grooming and pedo behavior?
Keep these creeps away from power, have we not learned this lesson?
Well those are obviously not showstoppers for either party alignment so not very important.
Another “I got mine, fuck you” politician. Good job, Florida.
Wow. It’s really fucking weird to see someone who has both policies I like and also despise at the same time…
It’s like he’s alienating both sides of the coin. It’s a strategy, I guess.
It’s not that weird, even Trump has done things I agree with on a rare few occasions (off the top of my head ending the minting of new pennies).
Even that he could not roll out in a sane way. Not that I really agree with it, I don’t really care much at all; it supposedly “saves” a few million every year, but in the scheme of things, it’s not like it’s going to balance the budget or something.
