Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, “Florida” has become synonymous with attacks on LGBTQ rights, public schools, and unions. Yet this offensive isn’t only driven by hatred and ideology. It’s also about curbing the power of Florida’s progressives—power that was building steadily before DeSantis came along. State House Rep. Anna Eskamani and Nailah Summers-Polite join The Marc Steiner Show to talk about Florida’s recent trajectory and the prospects for a future progressive comeback.
Anna Vishkaee Eskamani is a member of the Florida House of Representatives from the 42nd District in Orange County.
Nailah Summers-Polite is the Co-Executive Director of Dream Defenders.

Yeah no.
We won't miss you. Bye. The books are perverting children. Yes republicans are winning. 😂
Democrat party will never be a force for change until the DNC is disbanded. Good luck. I don't see that happening as long as Obama is around, and he's not that old obviously.
Governor DeSantis is quite possibly the single greatest leader of my lifetime. I respect the man intensely and I will campaign vigorously for his 2024 Presidential campaign.
I live in Florida DeSantis approved big donor Florida Power and Light to raise elec rates 40% and I heard another 40% this summer so it will about double. They also kept solar out of Florida until they got a big chunk making it not worth having the $ from solar goes to FP and L. But the voters here are so propagandized there is no hope. he also banns books wants to check girls periods, polluted gulf water with phosphate dumping in Tampa bay, he has allowed two N@zi rallies, banned protests. I could go on and on. The oldsters here say 'at least we have freedom and did not close down during covid'
Death to Gender Ideology
We have Mussolini fascism on the left, and Hitler fascism on the right. We are doomed.
NOT for 2024. DeSantis has to wait after Trump’s second term.
Two stupid people pretending to be intellectuals with new insights on modern life
Who?
Ron "Ensure-Force-Fed-Up-A-Nose-Tube" deSantis at USA's illegal Gitmo torture facilities
for USA?
whatever
I am soo thankful for DeSantis! We almost had Gillum… that would have turned us into IL, NY or CA
Time gor for National divorce, or civil way id take either over trying to live with the Godless lefties in this country now.
I think you should keep everybody else … where are you gonna put all the other 350 million people?
Listen Marc Steiner leave governor desantis alone and so what if he banned books !!!! You guys don’t have a right to teach the children what you think they should know !!!! There our kids and grandchildren!!! If you want to teach your children or grgrandchildren you have a right to do that In this great American country!!! What you don’t have a right to push your progressive liberal crap woke down our throats and by the way one of your guests represents the city of Orlando !!! What a coincidence a democratic stronghold!!!!
Trump is likely to be the next president. And at this point with Biden and WW3 on the way… who cares?
I am a Hispanic of descent but very very proud American !!! And a very hard working mechanic of 37 years in the business and I’m so sick of the whole woke!!!! culture I work on garbage trucks for minimum 10 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week to take care of my family not to take care of immigrants who probably live better than I do it seems to me that the ones that are evil are the damn democratic or as I call them the demon rats or devil rats , I’m a staunch conservative and the democrats want to turn our beautiful awesome free country and state of Florida!!! Into a communist state , there is a reason that 71% of Cuban people voted for trump in 2020 , because they know what communism is!!!!! God bless the U. S. Of América and God bless Donald trump and Ron desantis!!!
There is more massive money on the so called left
Desantis is in power because Americans reject Liberal policies.
TRUMP 2024!!!
MAKE AMERICA FREE AGAIN BY MAKING AMERICA FLORIDA!!!
Hell no…. Desatan is nothing but another nwo puppet
Yeah if you're 80 years old and need a place to go die…. God's waiting room….. Other than that Florida sucks too many Hispanics coming into Florida all you hear is no English no English but yet they have the nicest of everything and speak no English way overpopulated
Ron DeSantis allows ninety-year-old WWII veterans to be arrested for feeding the poor and the homeless in his communist state of Florida
My advice move to California, they need to be populated again
