Terms to know before reading this blog:

Fascism: 
a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Lie: 
a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth.

Constituent: 
being a voting member of a community or organization and having the power to appoint or elect.

Legislation: the process or result of enrolling, enacting, or promulgating laws by a legislature, parliament, or analogous governing body.
Due to a combination of agonizing back pain, a couple of actual plans, general depression about the state of humanity, loneliness, and feeling lost about continuously pouring my heart into this medium with essentially nothing to show for it, I've been away from the keyboard longer than I would've liked. This is my first blog-blog in nearly a week.

Dozonlife.com is about LIFE and everything that encapsulates it. I would love nothing more for this blog to be filled with sports takes, music information, jokes, & general happy stuff, but life is not always that way. Sometimes there are things take a more pressing issue. I feel like the boy who cried fascism because nobody seems to give a fuck about this country's crumbling democracy. Still, the American Fascist Party (once known as the Republican Party) is dead set on making life worse for Americans while knowing their base is too stupid to stop voting against their self-interests. The GQP doesn't have any actual strategy to improve people's lives. All they care about is control and lining their pockets. Here are some examples of such from the past week!
#1. TENNESSEE---Not only did the Tennessee state legislature expel two black democrats for actually supporting their constituents (while saving the old white lady who did the same thing) but here's how that backward ass state decided to address the gun issues in the Volunteer State.

There’s a soul sickness in our state when Tennessee Republican legislators are more concerned with protecting gun manufacturers from lawsuits, than children from being killed by mass shootings.

We said, protect children not guns— they choose the guns.

This is morally insane. pic.twitter.com/tpjAUoG6uQ

Don't you dare act surprised. Kids were murdered in school and the only thing Republicans are protecting is the murder weapon.

Why? Because the gun industry gave $2.2 million to Tennessee state politicians over the last five years.

The corruption is killing us. pic.twitter.com/YOLiwWlONN

What a fucking disgrace. I am so happy I didn't last in Tennessee. I shouldn't generalize, though. There are plenty of good people down there trying to do the right thing.

#2. FLORIDA---Ron DeFascist's "Don't Say Gay" bill was never about "protecting children." It was about creating more ignorant Floridians and dehumanizing the LGBTQ+ community. Nearly everything he says is a lie. I cannot wait until this man is out of office, behind bars, or underground.

BREAKING: the Florida Board of Education has just voted to EXPAND Don’t Say Gay’s restrictions to 12th grade.

This was NEVER about protecting your children. It’s all an elaborate plan to ERASE people like me from existence.

You won’t fucking win.

[Republicans enact "Don't Say Gay" law in Florida.]

REPUBLICANS: "I don't know why people are so upset. it only applies to K-3!!!"

[Republicans extend "Don't Say Gay" to 12th grade.]

While all eyes are on this AM’s Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board meeting watching DeSantis’ latest Disney drama, his Board of Education is meeting in Tallahassee to expand ‘Don’t Say Gay or Trans’ to 12th grade.

It was NEVER, EVER, EVER about ‘protecting children’. pic.twitter.com/ktLPhOKviG

UPDATE: In a dramatic expansion of last year’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida, the State Board of Education voted today to ban classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation through 12th grade.https://t.co/TRShGwFpWr

#3. IOWA---Saying the Republican party cares about the well-being of children is like saying house fires care about the well-being of family heirlooms.

At 4am, Republicans in the Iowa Senate passed a bill allowing 14-year-olds to work nightshifts, 15-year-olds to work assembly lines, and 16-year-olds to serve alcohol.

They’re trying to use child labor to fix their labor shortage. pic.twitter.com/Jl0uD6Ydlt

— Sawyer Hackett (@SawyerHackett) April 18, 2023

At 5 am this morning, the Iowa Senate passed a child labor bill that “allows 14-year-olds to work six-hour night shifts, allows 15-year-olds to work in plants on assembly lines” and more

All Democrats voted against it as well as two Republicanshttps://t.co/SSR636rHNT

BREAKING: The Iowa Senate passed a child labor law before dawn today.

The bill lets 14-year-olds work 6-hour night shifts, 15-year-olds work on assembly lines, and 16- and 17-year-olds serve alcohol.

The Senate went through the night, and voted on child labor at 4:52 a.m.

#facts---it's all about control

If children are busy working, they're not busy being educated. If they're not educated, they won't be aware of their oppression or how they can fight against it.

It's all about creating ignorant, docile slaves for the future fascist empire they're forming before our eyes.

#4. IOWA---Iowa is spending more money to ensure people don't get the help they need. How Christian of them!?

Iowa lawmakers have passed a bill that cuts off Medicaid and food benefits to thousands of low-income families.

The bill will actually *cost* the state $18 million to implement a maze of new eligibility requirements.

Gov. Kim Reynolds is expected to sign it into law.

— More Perfect Union (@MorePerfectUS) April 17, 2023

85% of Iowa SNAP recipients are considered "working poor" who are actively working or looking for work. 50% of SNAP households have kids under 18.

Republicans say the bill will rein in fraud, but the fraud rate for Iowa’s SNAP program is just 0.07%. /2https://t.co/hNy7ZKMTRP

— More Perfect Union (@MorePerfectUS) April 17, 2023

The bill is the brainchild of a Florida think tank funded by the super wealthy.

Its biggest proponent is the Opportunity Solutions Project, whose funding has been linked to Republican superdonors Charles Koch and the DeVos family. (3/3)https://t.co/GTfPvICFLS

#5. MISSOURI---Missouri (45th in crime, 30th in education, 42nd in health care) continues to let freedom ring with its priorities! 

The Republican Attorney General of Missouri has launched a new form to report transgender individuals and those who help them to the government. pic.twitter.com/PNlqUmYyVL

Missouri: where it's okay to marry pre-teens, but hormone blockers are where we draw the line!

Last night, Missouri voted to ban care for trans youth and ban from sports to "protect kids."

Later, the sponsor, Sen. Moon, was asked about a vote on child marriage.

He DEFENDED 12 year olds getting married, saying he knows some who are still married!pic.twitter.com/LFFICu4ecC

#6. FLORIDA---While it hasn't officially happened yet, Ron DeFascist suggested building a prison next to Disney World because he is a fascist bully who punishes businesses that don't support his hate. Clearly, he cares about the well-being of children. Ron, please have cyanide for dinner tonight.

This is a big mistake.

Conservatives don’t like it when politicians pursue vendettas using taxpayer dollars or abuse their government powers. https://t.co/aJkcjg4Ali

— Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) April 17, 2023

DeSantis threatened to put a prison next to Disney World.

One can bet Disney/allies of Disney have private investigators looking into everything DeSantis has ever done. Into every dime he’s ever spent or received.

This is a fight DeSantis will lose.

I think Disney will cause… pic.twitter.com/7LxCZYzish

#7. FLORIDA---Seriously, Ron DeFascist is one of the worst people alive.

In Florida, you no longer need a permit or training to carry a gun in public but you do need “documentation” to “prove” you were raped to get an abortion.

Ron DeSantis signed both of these laws in the past 2 weeks.

— No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen (@NoLieWithBTC) April 17, 2023

My God. Ron DeSantis’ new abortion ban requires rape and incest victims to show their “documents” to prove they got raped. If they can’t provide it, they will be forced to give birth to their rapist’s baby. https://t.co/Rp2HEhrBUF

Ron DeSantis is now forcing rape victims to “show proof” they were raped to access care. pic.twitter.com/7ZQ0gjIvu8

#8. FLORIDA---For real though...What about this monster and his policies says "freedom?"

— “Transadon” Mrs. Vanc3 (@Transatron007) April 15, 2023
P.S.

Even though the laws that allow this are terrifying....let's end with a laugh. You need a permit to professionally install fucking eyelashes, but not to operate a weapon!!! 'Merica!

Tennessee to allow teens to carry guns without permits.

No background checks, no gun safety classes, no questions,... no nuthin'.

Great. What could possibly go wrong?pic.twitter.com/eHUj2hkGfa https://t.co/tOXb7Ifp0b

Double P.S.

Ron DeSantis does not care about Floridians, only his own power and fragile ego. Don't forget that he wears lifts because he's insecure about being a short person!

Every South Florida gas station is packed because of the freak Fort Lauderdale rain storm.

That led to a major gasoline shortage.

Here’s one near downtown Miami.

Where’s Ron DeSantis?

Holy crap. As DeSantis fights with Disney, runs a shadow presidential, and passes abortion bans in the dead of night, there is a devastating gas crisis happening in Florida. Fuel is extremely difficult to find in the state and lines are ridiculously long where it's available. pic.twitter.com/szHkrwrrvJ
