You should look into DeSantis actual actions. He's actively ousted unfavorable elected and appointed politicians at every level and his attacks on Disney are blatantly unconstitutional. You don't get to tailor laws to only impact one company as retribution for political speech.

You are the one using loaded framing because you're using neutral language to describe what are blatantly corrupt and unconstitutional actions as "maximizing conservative wins with aggressive strategies".

lol I love how hard you cope. for complaining so much about woke libtard snowflakes, you sure do play a strong victim card

zero chance dems call a primary if biden is truly running.

cant fucking wait for the GOP primary.

I think there's two logical flaws with this.

1. You are assuming that the GOP primary electorate is making an informed and strategic choice to pick the candidate which they think has the higher chance of winning the general election. I disagree with both points. A big chunk, probably the majority, of Trump's die-hard supporters are deluded about his actual electability and genuinely believe that he's more electable than DeSantis. And a big chunk of the entire primary electorate will imho vote for the candidate they personally like more, rather than the candidate they think the rest of the country will like more.

2. There is almost no more bipartisanship, true. What there still is, however, are persuadable swing voters. We saw that in both 2020 and 2022. In 2020, Trump's base showed up in full force, but Biden still won because a critical mass of voters, particularly in the suburbs, abandoned Trump and switched over to him. And they did that because Biden was inoffensive enough. Had Bernie won the Dem nomination, I think Trump pulls it off and wins reelection for this exact reason. And in 2022, we saw a notable underperformance of pretty much every single GOP candidate who was perceived as an election denier or extremist. Likewise, there were a few races in which ideologically extreme Dem candidates unexpectedly lost re-election. 2022 was a really bad cycle for all sorts of wackos and crazies.


So in this sense, DeSantis presenting himself as a sane, drama-free Trump-clone should benefit him. Definitely in the general election, should he make it that far, but probably also in the primary. He's still the underdog for the primary though since Trump starts with such a high floor that DeSantis needs to consolidate almost everyone else.

It's the other way round: Disney had a law tailor made for itself. Claiming that a democratically elected state government has no right to revoke such a corporate privilege is absurd.

i think you misunderstood me. to parse it out.

in primary: lack of personality is a disadvantage, trump wins on crowd appeal as they have the same policies

in general: lack of personality is an advantage, he can calmly beat biden in debate, trump will get carried away and it will be a shit show

in office: lack of personality SHOULD be an advantage to get bipartisan support. but he'll show up day 1 already too demonized to get any support and be stuck ruling through EOs.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL cant wait for this shit show of an election LMAO

The overwhelming majority of journalists are left-wing. You are asking a very simple question and there's a very simple answer.



Yes, he's a bit stiff, but there can't be a "next Reagan" in this political environment. The United States is a far more polarized place.



What other company in Florida acts as its own political entity? Political retribution against political actors is absolutely legal and has been since the country's founding.
