    Your timing is spot on. And that turd and his followers are the crux of the biscuit (as Zappa used to say). What really changed though and allowed these ideals to take off was the weaponization of the internet. I don't pretend to know everything, so I don't know who orchestrated this, but it certainly doesn't feel organic to me.

    Not just the internet. But media in general. Including talk radio.

    100%. It might sound like a cop out or something, but truly the internets unintended consequences has had a huuuge negative impact on so much.

    DeSantis ain't no dummy....

    DeSantis' education message is winning in battleground states, teacher union poll finds
    Florida’s governor was bitterly criticized on the left for his education policies and rhetoric, but battleground voters appear to favor much of what he's been saying and doing.

    TAMPA, Fla. — Before a friendly audience of conservative moms, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday excoriated political opponents for wanting to “sexualize” children and warp kids’ understanding of race and history.

    The charged campaign rhetoric in remarks to the Moms for Liberty group was usual fare for DeSantis — and a major reason he’s in the top tier of potential GOP presidential candidates who now sits on an unprecedented $130 million war chest.

    But the political backdrop was as atypical as unexpected: The day before his speech, one of the national teacher unions that opposes him released a battleground-state survey showing voters approve of DeSantis’ education policy positions, and even some of his rhetoric...........

    Voters on the right are just moving to younger version of the same bullshit so they can make excuses. See, I didn't vote for Trump.

    Picking DeSantis over Trump is the right move for Magats. Longer shelf life. Trading in the old car for a new one. Nothing different.

    Certainly, DeSantis (in a way) used Trump's support to get on the political map. Nonetheless, I believe he has completely become his own man in his own right. That said, if he and Trump duke it out for the 2024 POTUS nomination, get your popcorn out. This will be a no-holds-barred brawl. I promise you that.

    Yep. Now we just need Trump to make his own party and start running them for house and senate positions, while he runs for president.

    Here's hoping that happens and Trump loses. Then he'll finish destroying the republican party.

    Then Democrats will hopefully take advantage of it to do something right...

    DeSantis is a less stupid Trump. Both racist, both antiwoman, both gay haters, both oppose education, both anti science, both demand loyalty from cult.

    The way you describe him, nobody would support him an any degree.

    Lol, of course. The people who support him deny they are those things while being and supporting those things.
