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.
So what’s this guy’s thing? He’s a conservative, so I’m automatically assuming he’s a pedophile, as chances of that are always higher than 50/50. Of course he is a religious extremist nutjob so he’ll want to take away people’s freedom, except for the guns, of course, peopleust be able to murder eachother, what else are you going to do on Florida, right?
Either way, he’ll want to enforce unsustainable policies that will make the rich richer, the poor poorer, put more “brown” people in jail even though he’s from Latin American root, but who cares, right?
America is such a fucked up country
