Never thought I would prefer DeSantis to Trump. But here we are.
The true damage Trump has done - and time will tell if it's a good or bad thing - is destroy trust in the system itself. Campaign Trump was better than Campaign DeSantis. I will never regret my vote for Trump, because it was the sensible decision with the information we all had. Trump 2024, absolutely. Every time.
Just like Trump, DeSantis is a snake. He's a proven snake, despite some definite and commendable success on some issues. Vance is a somewhat unknown commodity but, Palantir/Thiel connections aside, may go down with the Trump ship and not even be viable when the time comes.
But I can't get behind DeSantis, Vance, or any of these other people. Massie and MTG have been generally good, but not perfect, and even Rand has disappointed me on some things. Tucker is...interesting, but also untrustworthy.
I honestly don't know. I'm not trying to blackpill (as I've said, I've argued against the blackpill for months, years even), but I honestly can't think of anyone I'd support even close to 100% at this point. And it's certainly not DeSantis or Vance.
I will say, I'm rather angry at the whole state of affairs, even compared to how I've felt for the last decade. We are not in a good place.
Agreed. I do think our complete lack of a warrior culture has screwed us westerners all over. The bureaucrats, merchants, money men, etc are not trustworthy. Con men all of them. And I get the bitterness. We have no true leaders. We don't even have a group to pull leaders from.
Eh, it's going to be tough to forget 2024 Campaign Mode DeSantis.
His campaign was run by all of the same people who are currently derailing Trump's administration.
Here's what I think, and I went into more detail above:
Would DeSantis be a good president? Possibly. But he isn't America First, so it's a nonstarter. We need to turn the ship around, not just slow the rot.
DeSantis might throw us a bone, and improve life in some ways. But it's not the movement we need. It doesn't actually even start to fix any of the issues.
It's frustrating, because I sound like some of the stuff I've criticized in the past as being "utopianist." But I'm just done. I'm done watching my nation spiral down the drain. I don't need one man to save everything in one fell swoop, that is utopianist. I don't need everything magically fixed overnight...but I need someone to get the process started. I don't want another Trump figure, who does some things well, and is or was above the very low average, but done betrays us on basic stuff time and again. I want someone who actually puts us first.
It's why I'm both glad and hesitant that Fuentes and his message is being pushed. I'm suspicious, because I think it's another Pied Piper. I'm suspicious because Nick is bad on a lot of things too. I'm suspicious because he doesn't own "America First." But I love to see people saying America First, and I damn sure hope they actually understand what it means.
The concept, America First, is nonnegotiable. And DeSantis ain't that.
DeSantis would have done the same nonsense if not worse.
He still signs bills from israel. So all of this is just talk.
