    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.
