      His lawyer, Ryan Newman, defined it in court as such:

      The belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.

      So yeah, they know exactly what it means (beyond the mouthbreathers definition of “everything I don’t like”). What makes them evil twats was the next thing he said to the judge:

      [DeSantis] doesn’t believe there are systemic injustices in the country.

      Which means that either a) he’s lying about that (which he is) or b) he’s burning all his political capital trying to stop a thing that isn’t even happening.

      The sooner this plastic-faced, white-jack-booted, can’t-smile chode and his power-hungry, Stepford-smiling, Temu Jackie O. disappear, the better.

        They say the opposite (about systemic injustice) when arguing against corporate DEI, affirmative action, police and voting reforms etc…

        It’s crazy they try to make the point that white, middle-class America is the most persecuted segment of the poulation.

        You could put a clever spin on this to say that it means DeSantis doesn’t think there’s any bias against conservatives. Which, there isn’t, but Republicans won’t like hearing that.

      It’s George Soros’ plot to use space lasers to turn your kids gay and keep prayer out of schools, duh.

      Or maybe, just maybe, it’s about not bullying people who are different and letting them live their lives with dignity. Nah, it’s the laser thing.
