It's pretty much the playbook of all of DeSantis' "accomplishments."

Make a broad law banning or mandating some action.
Brag about how great, conservative, and anti-woke you are for passing this law.
Law gets struck down for being obviously and egregiously unconstitutional.
Either denounce "liberal activist judges who push the woke agenda" (ignoring that the judge was appointed by a Republican) or just ignore the ruling entirely and keep touting the law you passed regardless of the fact that it's been junked.
