So is the "only DeSantis would win" crowd.
I get the distinct feeling there are a fair few number of people who are subversives attempting to pander, but are really trying to steer forums like ours in specific directions, either by impersonating the alt-right, or impersonating MAGA, while either legitimizing neo-liberal narratives, or advocating neo-liberal stereotypes.
Yep.
Even if I wasn’t suspicious that DeSantis is secretly stinky, I want Trump because thats who we fucking elected already.
It’s so cucked to just throw in the towel and give up on our elected president because it got stolen.
I'd be more tolerant of the argument if it were solely based on age. But the reality is Trump has a ton of momentum and it's because of the voter fraud issue, and his incumbency, and people remember how it was better when he was in.
The biggest danger to DeSantis is strategic. If he got distracted and greedy and tried to run against Trump in the primary, he would weaken the political infrastructure of Florida (which he's still trying to secure by clearing out the AG, fixing the Boward County BoE, and solidifying his political capital) by leaving it to someone even less experienced than him. If he lost, the damage could cost him his career and then Florida.
It's really the worst possible decision.
For DeSantis part though, it looks like he is taking the correct response toward dealing with what happened. Because his initial statement he put out amounts to "You barge into my state, violating my laws and jurisdiction, and have the fucking audacity to harass one of my Citizens?! For your own sake, you better have a good reason!"
That's basically all he can do, and it's also a very common refrain among state agencies (so it gains him political support at the administrative level): the feds just constantly roll-in and do whatever the hell they want without telling a single fucking soul, at everyone's detriment.
DeSantis is also incredibly young. He has many more chances for presidency beyond this single coming election. A couple more years shoring up his accomplishments and waiting until a guy who has an entire near manmade cult of personality around him is out of the picture is just common sense.
I agree. Very astute. DeSantis should wait until Trump's second term is over.
I really can't see any D candidate winning anything, no matter who the Rs put up in '24.
But what if the DP/press corps manage to win the Presidency with, like, Bootyjudge? Is that even possible? Would Gabbard run as a D? My mind boggles at the possibility of another 4 years of DP rule.
I can. Anywhere where you've got heavy concentrations of beuracracies, government agencies, progressives, college students, and unmarried white suburban women are going to continue to go blue.
