They are pushing it really, really hard on the only part of reddit I still visit. Political Compass memes. Very inorganically to, with a lot of "new to posting on PCM" saying that focusing on election fraud is a losing issue... meanwhile a lot of the normal posters and lurkers are downvoting them to a degree because the fraud was obvious for a 2nd time in a row. Though some posts are far more heavily shilled than others and I expect PCM to either get shilled to being unbearable or banned.
Fraud is a losing issue on the campaign trail, because if you focus on it then they'll fortify the election against you. You still have to actually do something about the fraud if you want to be re-elected, but don't show your hand too hard too early.
It's easy to figure out. DeSantis represents the pretense of one more election. Right now the proverbial they are scrambling for a shred of legitimacy, after conducting blatant fraud for two elections in a row.
If they can get the right to buy in once again, then they've got themselves more time.
There's no way this Trump vs. DeSantis "controversy" isn't 100% manufactured.
As of a week ago, I was of the opinion that there were 2 potentially good options for the 2024 election between Trump and DeSantis.
With the GOP establishment swamp's embrace of DeSantis, I'm now extremely skeptical of him.
