The resident DeSantis obsessive (onetruephilosoraptor) made me think about this with his latest Trump-critical post. On one hand, Jeb Bush has been seen at DeSantis events. On the other hand, Caitlyn Jenner has been seen hanging out with Trump's kids/niece. Neither have officially endorsed any candidate but their feelings are clear.
On one hand you have a dude who, through his very public existence, helps in some way to normalize trannies. On the other hand you have a GOP, Inc dweeb who wants to bring America back under the control of the uniparty. It's a very tough choice, but I have to say Jeb is worse. People like the Bushes and Rupert Murdoch have megalomaniacal visions and still exercise significant influence over the country, whereas Caitlyn Jenner's delusion is personal and far less impactful.
Accepting the normalization of transgenderism to rationalize your devotion for Trump.
Jeb Bush merely attended Ron's inauguration. He has not influenced DeSantis' policy and he didn't even actually endorse DeSantis meanwhile the tranny is hanging out at Mar-a-lago and is openly promoting Trump's campaign.
Pathetic rationalization from you.
I'm not devoted to Trump, and I'm not against DeSantis. Actually DeSantis' biggest problem is his fans and boosters. You approach things like a raging autist and that gives me pause.
It's no secret that GOP big money doesn't want Trump. Many DeSantis donors supported Jeb's bid. They obviously influence his policy, the question is how much.
The DeSantis coalition does have some donors who despise Trump.
These people would support any rival to Trump who has a chance in the primary to beat Trump.
The difference is that they have no real influence over policy unlike in the Trump camp where Trump passed shitty policies like the first step act because he was influenced by his socially liberal friends like Bruce Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
DeSantis's record shows he will absolutely enact good conservative policy even when some of his donors hate it.
Your criticism of DeSantis supporters like me is laughable when Trump has TheImp and that weirdass DoritoPence guy non-stop simping for him in any thread they show up in.
Yes I am pretty outspoken in my support because I am sick of the people demanding that it MUST be Trump.
If Trump still becomes the nominee I would still begrudgingly vote for him while some of the Trump cultists here would sadly never do the right thing and vote for the GOP nominee if it was not Trump.
Can you name one?
Also: I see a field of promising Republican candidates, including DeSantis (and a couple of obvious pieces of shit like Pence and Haley), in addition to a known quantity in Trump with all of his flaws.
You see DeSantis and a field of grifters.
According to you, I'm the cultist.
Ken Griffin is a DeSantis donor and he hated that DeSantis took away Disney's ready creek deal and that he signed the 6 week heartbeat abortion ban bill.
I see DeSantis and Trump as the only people in the race. No one else has a shot at winning the nomination.
I see DeSantis as the only guy who has a shot of beating Trump in the primary and Biden in the general.
I view Trump as a flawed former President who hasn't learned from his mistakes.
I think the others like Pence, Haley and Christie are grifters.
