I’m pretty sure everyone here could predict the White House would need to target any state or region that is not restricting freedom and applying ridiculous COVID rules and regulations. States that do not force vaccinations, force masks, and generate mandates against their citizens are essentially enemies of the politically reliant dictators. As a consequence Florida Governor Ron DeSantis allowing his state to remain open and operating as normal, without arbitrary rules, restrictions and mandates, stands in open defiance of the demanded federal overreaction. The White House cannot have Florida functioning without panic and fear, and still sell their doom and gloom forecast; so DeSantis becomes the enemy. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/08/02/white-house-takes-aim-at-florida-governor-ron-desantis-over-lack-of-covid-restrictions
