A political compass which looks like a communist made it, is somehow in a school textbook [American Government: Stories of a Nation by Scott Abernathy and Karen Waples] (twitter.com)

Which makes me pissed off at all the people on the right saying DeSantis is a better option than Trump on account of him being more palatable, or something. To be clear, I'm not taking sides, not saying Trump or DeSantis is better, just that DeSantis being a better option because the left hates Trump is a moronic argument, that a lot of people tricked themselves into.

The difference between Trump and DeSantis is that the media attacks will work against Trump but fail against DeSantis, because the reality is that Trump is a raging narcissistic asshole who doesn't know when to shut his mouth, while DeSantis is a highly intelligent politician who knows how to fight media disinformation and win.

Nope, Trump was Literally Hitler, but doesn't mean DeSantis won't immediately be as well.

Your perspective is that the media will call anyone the Republicans run Hitler anyway, so we might as well run Hitler. No. The correct response to the media is to run someone who is likeable and who their attacks will fail against.

DeSantis is much better and smarter than Trump in fighting the media. Their attacks on him will be far less successful than against Trump.

I wish the right would stop basing so much of their decision-making on what the left thinks.

That is literally what YOU are doing, while accusing those who disagree with you of doing it. You're the one assuming the liberal media will be believed by everyone who we shouldn't bother fighting them on the merits.

As if any of that matters. The media is going to media, and the people who will buy into it will buy into it basically regardless of how absurd and obviously untrue it is. The needle might be pushed 1% due to the truth of the statement, but that's about it.

Where did you get that from?! I'm saying refusing to run someone that the left has called Hitler is absurd, since they'll call everyone Hitler. Completely different thing.

You have been demoralized.

You have bought into the idea that the lib media is undefeatable so we shouldn't even try.

That's sad. Don't act like a Frenchman in 1940. Find your spine and understand that we have beaten the Left before and we can beat them again.

Not sure why you're going so hard, that was never my tone toward you. Also, you're either intentionally or unintentionally completely misconstruing what I'm saying.

I'm not saying we can't beat the left, I'm saying we don't do it by playing by their rules. Completely different thing. We don't beat the left by letting them set the rules and terms. So I'm basically saying the opposite of what you claim.

My spine is both intact and located, and I think we can beat the left. I just think some people are being absolutely retarded about how we go about doing that.

DeSantis is far superior to Trump as a candidate because he appeals to moderates better and is far better at defeating lib media disinformation. The lib media has already went very hard on him multiple times and utter failed.

By contrast, the lib media was highly successful against Trump and remains that way. Trump is happy enough to be in the spotlight, even if negatively, so he is terrible at fighting the media.
