Is it just me, or do Florida Republicans just really hate not being evil?

We talk a lot of shit about Florida—about how it’s filled with crazy white people, how it looks like America’s dong and how the GOP dicks in office reflect that image—and sometimes I do feel like the state gets a bad rap...but not today.

On Thursday, a Florida state senator from the Republican Order of the Sith proposed a measure that would block felons from being included in the $15 minimum wage increase that the state approved last year. I mean, who wouldn’t think it’s a good idea to restrict the formerly incarcerated, who already have plenty of obstacles in finding gainful employment, from earning a livable wage on the outside, amirite? Who knew the law-and-order GOP was so pro-recidivism?
