Gov. Ron DeSantis said a new Florida license plate featuring the Revolutionary War-era Gadsden flag sends a 'clear message to out-of-state cars.' Critics say it symbolizes a dangerous far-right extremist ideology.

So do the same people who think this is “far right extremism” label every US Navy service member the same way? Its part of the Navy’s duty uniform. See also: Virginia License Plates. Cool story, bro.

NPR credibility score: 0. Defund today!

All you leftists are rightaphobes. Your principles are so weak. You are terrified of anything you disagree with.

Just another reason not to travel to Florida

We have these plates on Montana but only mouth breathers, you know the same crowd that has truck nutz likes to put them on display.

AS ANTI-AMERICAN AS THE CONFEDERATE FLAG. We see you Ron/traitor’s.

& eho cleared this decision for the new lic plate?

Clear message they’re nothing but bigots. I’ll stay in California Thank You

The right's gotten themselves so worked up over their fictional narratives about the left that they're moving to full 'we want civil war', domestic terrorist extremist

Defund NPR

In a state being taken over by reticulated pythons and other snakes (politicians), this may be appropriate. Should include a backdrop of Tallahassee under water to reflect where their governor is taking them.

GOP is out of control. FLisnotwell

People are crazy to visit Florida. They depend on out of staters to come and spend money. It is obvious GovRonDeSantis doesn't want us there. BoycottFlorida RecallDeSantis

Weird flex, protesting regulation by putting a highly regulated plate on your highly regulated automobile to drive on highly regulated roads, but you do you.

The good thing about that, is that you don't have to wonder if a person is civilized or a stupid bogot. I find it very helpful when bigots, boot lickers and far right shit identify themselves. 👍😁

DeSantis behaves like a spoiled kid with too much free time to implement stupid ideas. But that’s pretty much the story of mediocre politicians. So, nothing really new here.

It is 'please come to Florida so we can stop your car and toss you in the pokey because your a Democrat'?

Those are same critics said HB1557 is the “don’t say gay bill.” Those that support the bill, prefer to call it the “don’t groom our children” keep your trans inclusive language at home bill.

A perfect flag for the way Florida is now. Perhaps people will take it seriously and not tread on Florida file, especially in enough numbers to make DeSantis look like he’s making some big mistakes.

'Critics say' 🤡

because so many people with florida plates are from florida lol

LOL

We will vote this fascists out!!

This flag is all over our Virginia license plates. No one is complaining

Better than the confederate imagery on their state flag

It's simply become a Nazi flag. Florida is a cesspool.

DeathSantis once again showing his true white-only color.

That's easy, just put this on your out-of-state license plates

who are these critics? is there anyone normal who thinks that it just means that most people don't like to be tread upon?

Nice flag desecration......'patriot.'

This white nationalist dog whistle thinks he will be the next President of the US. Florida - it is time to stop the insanity and vote him out.

'Critics say' What wonderful reporting. I wonder what the actual symbolism behind this is for the 99% of people who have flown it (including myself) on their property since the revolution. Maybe focus on that, but by all means, gas light on, please. Burn 🔥 that 🔥credibility🔥

He wouldn’t get to do any of this if theme parks weren’t in Florida. He’d be in charge of a desolate swamp

This flag has been around since 1775. Give me a break.

U have to credit NPR for pushing the same narratives over and over. If they can just get white Americans hating blacks, men hating women, poor hating rich then maybe the left can stay in power.

Florida is the worst state.. no cops ever enforcing traffic laws... always accidents where vehicles flipped over numerous times which is proof everyone drives over 90+ mph. Don't ever visit florida.

This is the one to watch out for.

What?! What is going on

They're nazi traitors. DeSantis is a nazi fascist. Traitors.

It was a RAID. Antifa is a terrorist organization. BLM RIOTED. Men don’t get pregnant. Children are not trans. 👌 is not white power. And the Gadsden Flag is not a super scary aLt RiGhT symbol. Also, Epstein didn’t kill himself, but his lawyer did sign the warrant.

most out of state cars in florida are from georgia - that’ll send those woke georgians a message not to elect stacy abrams alright

using far leftists as 'critics', shows you are far left,yourself. :)

Honestly, how ignorant does someone have to be to purchase a Don’t Tread On Me Symbol from the GOVERNMENT?

The Far Left is worse... Much much worse

It's tainted. It's a hate symbol now

He loves tourist dollars…

Believe the life growing inside its mother isn't a human is 'Extremist ideology'! Democrats are destroying America. NewHampJournal

I know partisan politics is a hell of a drug but if this flag offends you you’re off the rocker

Critics = journalists at left leaning NPR

This is basically just the libertarian flag now. Hows that far right exclusive? The common thread being government overreach bad. Their views on specific issues could be either side of the isle. If you think curbing gov power is far right I find that confusing.

Are they Marines?

DeSantis panders to the most extreme in our society and so far he's profited from it. The folks who enable him now will likely live to regret their part in it ... but for certain their children and grandchildren will.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesThat's it lol? Cool story. Why should I care about Ukraine so much when I can't afford groceries or gas to fill up my car to get to work? Good article by lilkat_bigworld. By getting into Georgia, it's a 'win-win' for him by not only escaping Russian occupation but also avoiding Ukrainian exit restrictions on most men of his age. However, that may not be the role of model Ukraine would encourage of its citizens.
