"Obama isn't responsible for piling up so much public debt, he inherited a huge economic crisis and two shitty wars when he took office"

"Trump should be held fully responsible for the debt accumulated during a once-in-a-century health crisis during which the government was literally barring people from making a living"
(Also, let's conveniently forget that Democrats at the time wanted even more lockdown and even more debt-financed stimulus money.)

The fuckers stealing trillions. Military and the government is one giant parasite that preys on its citizens.

I love to see lame anti-DeSantis memes like this. To stand a chance against Trump, he needs to prove to the MAGA base that he triggers the left just as much as the orange man.

I agree.

That's one facet, but he also needs to do sick burns on Trump in a way that specifically doesn't alienate the MAGA voters for supporting him. It's a tricky dance that he isn't nearly talented enough to make work.

Meanwhile Trump can just rail on DeSantis all he wants because DeSantis doesn't have a group like that under him.

Well, as soon as the also-rans drop out of the race, it will become clear that DeSantis is the only alternative to Trump. Then DeSantis will also have roughly 50% of the GOP base behind him, even if not all of them are as devoted to him as Trump's base is to Trump.

Also note that DeSantis has only begun starting to hold Trump accountable for his record in office (empowering Fauci, promoting the vaccines, running up the deficit, contemplating amnesty, nominating folks like Christopher Wray and Mark Milley to their position, etc.)

By contrast, Trump doesn't strike me as someone who has a lot of actual ammunition left to be used against DeSantis. Sure, he will continue to mock him and call him names, but at this point, will that sway any primary voters?



This might be the copium speaking, but imho, we're headed to a tight two-way race similar to Obama/Clinton in 2008, rather than to a repeat of 2016 where Trump prevailed over a hyper-fractured field.

Who's fault ? Voting for less equilalitarian and more conservative policies leading to education inequality increases, central power concentration, bad social mobility... You end up getting for what you voted for during decades.
Especially for large countries (power concentration) and bipartism (career in the same party)... Terrible. And this turnout rate... It's sad because I really want U.S to be fixed while the issue seems irreversible.



Cool one
