It’s honestly baffling. I knew he was gonna suck but I did think he was gonna be marginally better than Trump. My worry was that whoever followed would be an even worse backlash, like DeSantis. Turns out he’s worse in the moment and in the future!

Oh we’re still going to get the backlash. Chuds have gained no ground on the culture war and they are ready as ever to punish their enemies. We’ll have book burnings within the decade.

Oh 100%. At this point I’m convinced that unless the democrats do a sudden about-face (which seems unlikely) in 2024 the best case scenario is a second Trump term. Otherwise we’re getting DeSantis or someone else way more evil than Trump

I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would ever like DeSantis unless they are, like him, an absolutely irredeemable demon who deserves nothing but :pit:

Like, Trump I understood. He didn’t talk like a politician (because he was a moron). He was genuinely funny (despite being a monster). He had personality, even if it was one I didn’t enjoy. I don’t think every Trump supporter is a full on foaming at the mouth Nazi.

But DeSantis? He is the most disgusting, evil, soulless ghoul I’ve ever seen. There’s no personality, no humor, he doesn’t even own the libs in a fun way. He scares me to my core. I believe there’s a very good chance that DeSantis will be the one to bring real fascism to America

Trump gave them the vaccines. DeSantis told them they didn’t need to wear masks and workers dont matter. Everybody is going to Florida. Not hard to figure out

Which is why carlson is scarier

I thought that for a long time, and he is still really scary, but DeSantis is a couple steps ahead of him I think. Despite what I would think, Republicans do like him. Like, a lot. Last I checked the only Republican more popular with their base than DeSantis is Trump

I’m convinced that unless the democrats do a sudden about-face (which seems unlikely) in 2024

to what?

Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.
