"The Free State of Florida has a new pre-order license plate that benefits the Florida Veterans Fund and sends a clear message to out-of-state vehicles: 'Don't run over me or Florida,'" DeSantis tweeted.

Notably, about 20 percent of Florida's drivers don't have auto insurance, the state has the second-highest number of pedestrian fatal crashes in the nation.

A newly proposed special state license plate features a coiled rattlesnake that was first featured on the Gadsden Flag, a historic American flag flown in protest against government tyranny.

These days, this colonial-era relic has become a popular symbol for US Capitol rebels, right-wing militia groups, QAnon, and Koch-funded tax protesters.

The state will spend $50 million this year to promote out-of-state tourism through the Visit Florida program.

DeSantis announced that Florida received 34,1 million tourists during this year's peak winter tourist season.

"Originally, economists predicted that tourism in Florida would not fully recover until 2024, but quarter after quarter, despite the Biden administration's complete inability to deal with inflation and national supply chain problems, the number of visits to Florida continues to break records and defy conventional wisdom." DeSantis said in a statement.

“Florida's tourism industry begins 2022 with incredible strength, proving that pro-freedom policies will always win, especially when combating D.C.'s misguided economic policies,” he added.

“Unfortunately, there was a complete lack of mention in this report that the supposedly obstructive federal government gave Florida $30 million in stimulus money, which the state used to boost tourism this year,” said Frank Cerabino, a journalist. - This is an understandable omission. That’s because the federal government is one of DeSantis’ fictional cartoon villains.”

“At first I couldn’t understand why any self-respecting veterans’ group would even want ‘Don’t run over me’ on their license plates,” he says. — The trick to getting a new special license plate is that you need to get enough pre-orders from motorists before it goes into production. So in this case, 3000 Florida drivers would have to pay for the new plate before it would become viable. I suspect the real audience for the "Don't Run Over Me" license plate won't be actual veterans who already have better options. The new signs will appeal to the colossal number of Meal Team Six commandos in Florida, as well as the average Florida hothead who is angry, armed and looking for an excuse to get even.”
