Recreational pot is not necessarily a good thing. A small amount of people have bad reactions to it and accidents go up wherever it is legalized (like my state). But I wonder if allowing people to grow small amounts of it if they want to (vs allowing farms and sellers of pot to operate) would be okay. But truly, there's no easy answer. Some people are psychotic on pot. It's also not measurable like alcohol is because everyone is different and you can't set some measurable amount that's over the limit for everyone. It wouldn't be accurate. I don't want someone I care about to be injured or killed in an accident because of it.
As for language, when families immigrate, often the parents learn the language slowly and the kids quickly, but the grandparents really struggle. It is much more difficult for them. So I think it's reasonable to provide support. I'm pro immigration when it's done in kind ways (vs. leaving people in a limbo state with no clear status - the government loves that because they want fewer people to have actual rights so they have more control). I think it's right to make a legal way for good people to come here.
Israel was awful with covid vaccines, of course, but I think there are solid reasons to support Israel. Ukraine, though...were these earlier positions he stated or does he continue speaking this way about the war with Ukraine?

-Fine with people not learning English with govt paying for other language balloting and welfare services.

Wow! If this is the best you can come up with for reasons to call DeSantis a RINO what do you call the Lindsay Graham’s or Liz Cheney’s of the world?
I didn't call him a RINO. But him pimping out to Israel and Ukraine are pretty bad.
