Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was the original object of the term weaponization of government when critics of his victimization of Disney World of Florida, for the Disney Corp. CEO's publicly criticizing and denouncing Governor DeSantis' state of Florida 'Don't Say Gay' policy and law in Florida's public education and schools, applied it against him and his conduct in reference to his legislative and law-creation attacks against Disney World of Florida, Disney v. DeSantis: Where the Case Stands | Time,  DeSantis to expand 'Don't Say Gay' law to all grades | AP News,  Florida governor signs controversial 'Don't Say Gay' bill into law - ABC News. Disney now says it is opposed to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill : NPR, DeSantis revokes Disney's special status after ‘Don’t Say Gay’ opposition - POLITICO, Disney sues Florida Governor Ron DeSantis claiming 'retaliation' : NPR. Since then, GOP congresspersons of the US House of Representatives have become fond of the term itself, for its political exploitability and usefulness, and have appropriated the term to attack all legitimate, warranted and necessary legal prosecutions of Donald Trump for his egregious federal, state and NYC felony crimes. Now that this term has been appropriated and weaponized by the GOP congresspersons of the US House of Representatives, the political strategy and tactics imitator and political desperado that he is, DeSantis has, self-contradictorily, latched onto the term and is trying to own it and politically exploit it in pursuit of his own political ambition and dream of becoming US president or vice president.

 
By DeSantis promising, if he were elected US president in the 2024 US presidential election, to pardon Donald Trump for the multiple federal felony crimes for which he is being prosecuted and to restore the Confederate general name Braxton Bragg to a military fort (formerly Fort Bragg) in North Carolina for which that name has been changed to Fort Liberty (implicitly a would-be precursor to restoring the names of other Confederate generals, the names of violent, warring, warfare traitors of the USA, whose names were replaced for other military bases), (Ron DeSantis pledges to restore Confederate general's name to U.S. military base - Washington Times, DeSantis vows in NC to restore Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg | Raleigh News & Observer (newsobserver.com), Florida recognizes three Confederate holidays as ‘official’ state holidays, but not Juneteenth (yahoo.com), National Veterans Organization Shuts Up Ron DeSantis For His Racist Nonsense (bipartisanreport.com)), DeSantis is making appeals to the neo-Confederacy, neo-NAZI, scofflaw and MAGA-forever-Trumper right-wing populist (prominently including build-the-wall) voter constituencies of Trump. In addition, he is trying to endear himself to Trump so as to win over Trump's endorsement of him as the favorite replacement candidate to Trump as the GOP nominee candidate in the 2024 presidential election in the event Trump is forced out of the election run by his legal, criminal problems.

Be Mindful of, Woke to, Their Motive

By their howling that, 1., the sweep of prosecutions of hundreds of the insurrectionist-mob offenders in the 01-06-2021 attack on both houses of the US Congress in session then to constitutionally certify the official Electoral College vote and outcome of the 2020 US presidential election, 2., the US federal court-ordered testimony in a criminal investigation of US Senator Leslie Graham about his phone call, that was potentially a federal and state felony illegal one of attempted election interference, to the secretary of state of Georgia following the November of 2020 presidential election, reportedly attempting to nudge, unsuccessfully, like for Trump himself, the GA secretary of state to change the election vote results from that state in favor of Trump (Appealscourt orders Sen. Lindsey Graham to testify in Georgia election probe(nbcnews.com), U.S.Supreme Court allows Graham questioning in Georgia election probe | Reuters), 3., other election-interference-related prosecutions of Trump’s attorneys and legal advisors such as Rudy Guiliani, Sidney Powell and John Eastman, and, 4., now Trump himself, are partisan-politics motivated and the weaponization of the DOJ, FBI and law-enforcement government against the GOP, when they mean law-enforcement and justice-system accountability prosecutions of their insurrectionist team players and quite potentially themselves for their felony law breaking in subversively acting to interfere with and overturn the bona fide 2020 US presidential election outcome of electing Joe Biden US President, they really are trying to discredit and shut down the DOJ, FBI and other law-enforcement prosecutions applicable to themselves for the and their acts of insurrection, election interference, and, on the part of former POTUS Trump, his also willful large-volume misappropriation, exposure and abuse of federal government and national-security and defense actual documents and his stubborn retention of them, being rightful and proper prosecutions leading to themselves, particularly the congress member traitors of their highest oath of loyalty to the US Constitution then, and most still, in the US Congress, who are dripping with guilt.  They, like Donald Trump, are afraid of being held legally accountable and prosecuted for their culpability.

To them, when rogue cops and white vigilantes brutalize and kill, and prosecutors and courts wrongfully or disproportionately prosecute and convict, innocent, unarmed or nonviolent black American men, women, adolescents and children, white-supremacist mass media, politicians and mobs prejudicially cheer

and call it law and order and deserving, but when prosecutors and courts prosecute and convict favored guilt-dripping white people and such riotous, violent and unconstitutional-procedural, on the part of hyper-partisan members of Congress, traitors to our US Constitution and bill-of-rights US Constitutional democratic-republic form of government, like the 01-06-2021 insurrectionists, their speech-making inciters, coup plotters of the US Constitutionally required US Congressional protocol of Congress's official certification of the Electoral College vote count of the presidential election, the same mentality of people steal and howl, in falsely applying it to themselves, the originally legitimate protest language of "Weaponization of Government" used in reference to the state government of Florida for its victimization of Disney World of Florida, in decrying and describing Florida Governor DeSantis' and Florida's GOP supermajority legislature's punishment of it by legislation for its CEO's criticism of Governor DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" policy and law in the state of Florida's public education and government.  '
