I didn't bother to read the posts other than the original one that started this thread...
So I guess being "proactive" but 100% wrong & undemocratic is something to like in a governor?
By that measure...I guess "DeathSantis" is likeable
A federal judge said that the law, championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, amounted to an assault on First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly as well as the Constitution's due process protections.

The 90-page decision by U.S. District Judge Mark Walker in Tallahassee found the recently-enacted law
"vague and overbroad" and amounted to an assault on First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly as well as the Constitution's due process protections.
People engaged in peaceful protest or innocently in the same area when a demonstration turned violent could face criminal charges and stiff penalties under the law, the judge said.
"If this court does not enjoin the statute's enforcement, the lawless actions of a few rogue individuals could
effectively criminalize the protected speech of hundreds, if not thousands, of law-abiding Floridians," Walker wrote.
"Because it is unclear whether a person must share an intent to do violence and because it is unclear what it means to participate,
the statute can plausibly be read to criminalize continuing to protest after violence occurs, even if the protestors are not involved in, and do not support, the violence," Walker wrote.
"The statute can also be read to criminalize other expressive activity, like remaining at the scene of a protest turned violent to film the police reaction."
