DeSantis stresses me out because I can't get a clear read on him; obviously he's bad on abortion like the rest of the current Republican party, but apart from that I'm not sure. I applaud his pushback on the trans shit and reducing the overly sexual content being pushed on kids, and he seems like one of the only American politicians who DOES anything these days, but I'm also 50% certain he might be really evil. I've always said that another Trump who was actually competent would be the scariest thing we have ever seen.
My hope is that IF DeSantis should get elected, since he's highly educated and politically savvy (i.e. not like Trump), that he will shrewdly moderate himself in office because he would understand that he couldn't be too extreme if he wanted to get voted in for a second term.
Sometimes I think his plan is to be super provocative and controversial now so that he makes the headlines constantly--since very few people know who he is at this point, especially compared to Trump--and then moderate himself a little bit during his campaign and a little bit more in office. At least he isn't 100 years old like some of the other options either!
It probably doesn't matter, though, because I think Trump is going to fuck the next election up really badly for everyone; I wish they could just send him away or make some of his criminal charges stick or SOMETHING because he will never bow out gracefully. He is genuinely the purest kind of narcissist that has no allegience to any particular ideologies but simply thirsts for more and more power.
DeSantis hasn't even declared he'd run. But you are right. It does seems like h's the only political person in the US right now who's actually doing things and doing his job.
His FL records are public. Instead of suspecting if he's evil, one can look into information out there what he's done. I personally think it's premature as he hasn't even declared he's be in the race. He actually has a good reason to sit out this one, as you said.
That's the thing that made me see Democrats aren't pro-science. You can't make fun of young earth creationists while believing in non binary and trans. Different side of the same kooky coin. They're just as much anti-science as all the other nutjobs.
Lots of liberals believe in astrology.
Isn't that strange? I have noticed that too. What a turn off. At first, I thought people were just interested in it as like a "throwback" or historical novelty, but no. I have most noticed it amongst younger women (20's) I have met at get togethers through mutuals.
I still don't understand why this is the hill they want to die on . . . For die they will.
Fuck the democrats, third party ftw!!!
If this is the hill the Democrats are hellbent on dying on, I hope they get used to 16 years of DeSantis-Haley. So much for “wE FoLLoW tEh sCiEnCe.”
