    If you want Trump to win, keep writing articles like this. Nothing could be more damaging to DeSantis’ brand than liberals nominating him and calling him normal

      that's what happened to Le Pen

      the establishment said that this is a responsible establishment figure and Le Pen voters said "aww man a responsible establishment figure I wanted a racist lunatic"

    He's not normal, but liberals will do what they can to normalize him in relation to Trump. Much like capitalists more broadly, there's no sense of the long-term consequences to normalizing far-right freaks.

      The last time the right wing msm tried to cut Trump out in the 2015 primary, all their audience just moved to brietbart and OAN and shit until they went pro Trump. It'll happen again.

        all their audience just moved

        I wish the left did this more. Both with their votes and their use of platforms.

    This is the guy who wants to deport all immigrants living in the USA let alone jail covid researchers who go against his state's narrative and you fucking liberals go "well he's not Trump so he seems like a nice guy".

      He's definitely an intelligence asset. I don't know what the evidence is but I don't even care because repeating this line will 100% bother the people I want to bother.

    Liberals will help genocide trans people before they give up on republicans

      Liberals believe they are owed the support of the left. By that logic moving right is only logical to get more votes. Actually doing good things does not calculate into their politics

    What those idiots don't realize is that Desantis has a much better chance at beating Biden if that's the case. The GOP also hasn't been "normal" since Pat Robertson took it over with Evangelical bullshit.

      They still have to contend with Trump splitting their vote even run third party to spite DeSantis, the reality of DeSantis is that he is ultimately a creature of the Florida swamp, normal whites don't want to hear his porkie squeals, never forget Republicans only hold institutional power not real popular power which granted having institutional power is pretty powerful but if they keep doubling down on culture war issues they will slowly lose that institutional power, if the Republicans wanted to stay in power they would need to swing to libtarianism. But hey I'm just a disembodied text online. :specter: just my two cents.

        It seems like there was a power struggle between Libertarians and Evangelicals. It might still be going on but with Evangelicals gaining more control post-Trump. Before it looked like they were on their way to possibly being drowned out by Libertarian voices.

    for these fucks "return to normal" means grandmas casual racism and homophobia become mainstream and respectable again

    I'm far from an expert on American politics and I make no claim to be able to predict the future in any meaningful way, but... "Return to normal"? I can give you a 100 % accurate prediction of the future when it comes to if that is going to happen or not.

    Liberals cheering the competent fascist to power because they were fast too embarrassed to have an uncivil one in power.
