    Bruh you’ve gotta use vague signals and let the think tanks work with journalists to manufacture consent first.

      Yeah, DeSantis should be good at this, sadly…

      I’m way more worried about this Facist than trump.

        Trump talks bigly but is not very effective.

        DeSantis is not charismatic at all but I think he would be effective at what he attempted to do.

          I used to be very certain about the “Desantis is the effective fascist we warned you about” thing but more and more his buffoonery comes out, and I don’t think he’ll be president. That said, he’s being pretty effective in Florida despite his buffoonery.

              It’s also a good illustration of the failures of Liberal Democracy. I think Florida is like 51% red 49% blue.

            A major problem with DeSantis is that he’d have more support from the military and the intelligence community than Trump, which is a massive problem if the GOP ever tries a more serious coup than Jan 6. I also think he’s an actual true believer when it comes to racism and transphobia. Trump uses these strategically, DeSantis seems to have a real, burning wish to exterminate people.

        Desantis is lagging Trump by 40 points. That could obviously change between now and '24, but he doesn’t seem to have the juice for this.
