The lies have already started, and they have already had an effect. The "so-called" (by the media) "Don't Say Gay" bill happened under his watch. That's what inspired my comment. He will be painted as a "notorious homophobe" (and therefore transphobe nazi racist sexist) and he will suddenly be "shooting himself in the foot" constantly -- if you listen to the media. It's already happened.
And how did people feel about Trump before 2015?
The exact same machine is going to target Desantis. He will be just as despised as Trump.
Unless the machine leaves Desantis alone, at which point you would wonder why.
The difference is that DeSantis is actually competent and doesn't give the media free ammo against him.
DeSantis also is not a retard who shoots himself in the foot daily.
You will never see DeSantis say ridiculous shit that the media can easily blast without context.
The media has been slandering him as DeathSantis. They have failed.
They have tried to smear his education bill as don't say gay and they have failed.
They tried to say he is a dictator with him taking on Disney and they have failed again.
He won re-election by 19 points even with the media attacking him constantly.
DeSantis handles the media way better than Trump ever has.
Of course he will. At least if he would actually be a good president.
RON: I am signing an executive order making it illegal to discriminate based on race.
NYT: DESANTIS' SO-CALLED "CONTINUE THE OPPRESSION" ORDER IS TYRANNICAL, RACIST
RON: No mask mandates are allowed.
WAPO: DESANTIS' "PUBLIC NUDITY IN FRONT OF CHILDREN" ORDER IS RACIST, WOULD KILL 9,999,999,999 GRANDMAS OF COLOR
The point is that the lies will have no effect, and the more DeSantis confronts the lies and slander directly, the more credible he will become.
If he doesn't run he ought to be drafted.
Why won't Rand Paul put his ass in the wringer again?
