In Florida, Senate Bill 1248 would cancel any party in the state that ever advocated slavery or involuntary servitude. This notably includes the Democratic Party. Democrats could put a new party together under a very different name.
It seems to me to be more mischief and spite than anything serious. Could it possibly pass? Does Florida have a filibuster? I dunno. But maybe legislators in other red states will try to follow Senator Ingoglia's lead. Considering liberal attempts to get rid of statues of historical figures who were involved in slavery, it makes sense that Republicans would try to boomerang things back on them.
