  1. The reign of Governor Ron DeSantis provides a window-and model--into how an American chief executive of a state (in particular of the state of Florida) can successfully arrogate powers not assigned to the executive through the complicity of eager--and some fearful- members of the legislarure and judiciary in defianc of the state constitution. And DeSantis demonstrated how a zealot can proceed to reconfigure so many agencies and policies--from school boards, to college curricula and mission statements, to the state's surgeon general acting more as a politician than physician--to conform to DeSantis's agenda and ideology. That he succeeded to such a degree, while bringing extensive harm to institutions, citizens, and the state itself, should frighten any who care about Democracy in the states and the nation.
