The race to the bottom in the 2024 Republican presidential primary continues apace now that Ron DeSantis is officially a candidate. Never mind that his announcement on Twitter was glitch-filled farce. And set aside that he is trailing Donald Trump by anywhere between 20 and 60 points.

Despite Trump’s lead among the MAGA cult that dominates the Republican Party, he is feverishly obsessed with the threat that DeSantis poses to his quest for the nomination. Trump posts more comments on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, about DeSantis than any other single subject. Yet he cheerfully welcomes all other GOP contenders into the fray. There’s a reason for that…

Meanwhile, DeSantis is parading around on right-wing media, hoping to prove that he is more Trumpy than Trump. On virtually every issue DeSantis is running to Trump’s right. He’ll deport more immigrants than Trump. He’ll ban more books than Trump. He hates LGBTQ+ people more than Trump. He’ll suppress more votes than Trump.
Most of all, DeSantis pledges to wage a more hostile, censorious, and totalitarian war against “woke” (whatever that means) than Trump. Even if that means the political genocide of his ideological foes. On Monday morning DeSantis was on Fox News responding why he thinks this is the right time for his campaign…
“Everyone knows that if I’m the nominee that I will beat Biden. I will serve two terms. And I will be able to destroy leftism in this country, and leave ‘woke’ ideology on the dustbin of history.”

First of all, if virtually every recent poll is any indication, DeSantis has little hope of beating President Biden, much less serving two terms. But more disturbing is his promise to “destroy leftism.” Bearing in mind that what Republicans mean when they say anything about the “left” in American politics is every member of, and voter for, the Democratic Party. Republicans thinks that Joe Manchin is a leftist. Having a “D” after your name is a scarlet letter denoting a devotion to Marxism, according to the tunnel-blind cretins of the GOP.
Consequently, DeSantis is advocating the elimination of at least half of the American people. And he thinks that that will be an effective campaign strategy. While it might have some appeal to the glassy-eyed cultists who vote in GOP primaries, it would be disastrous in the general election.
DeSantis is just trying to prove his bona fides as an aspiring autocrat in the mold of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Donald Trump. He believes that diverse opinions and free thought must be stamped out in favor of a philosophy of single minded thought control, and punishment – even destruction – for any offenders. His election to any office is a threat to freedom. And it is a course of action he has already implemented in Florida. He must not be permitted to spread it nationwide.

Fox Nation vs. Reality:
The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.Thanks so much for your support.
In everything DeSantis says & everything he does, he proudly imposes his extremism, his hatred, total narcissism & the fact that he is 100% AGAINST all that USA used to be & stand up for. He is a despot & murderous dictator wannabe ~ he doesn’t even try to hide it! He’d make Trump look like “a walk in the park”.
Since he’s Gov. of Fl now, can see where his intention lies & just how little he cares for democracy, our rights & freedom. He’s a deadly dictator, without limits. A bully who steamrolls over everyone. He’s evil ~ Hitler type evil!
NO ONE that votes for him can ever say they, “didn’t know” what he’d do! They should all be held responsible for what they do, including voters who elect sub-human people who know how to demand & bully, but that’s NOT the same as ‘Leading’ the nation. And deep inside, those are the wussies! Remember Trump snuck off & came running home early from an Int’l Meeting of Leaders cuz’ they were making fun of him behind his back for some stupid thing he’d bragged about & everyone laughed, thinkin’ he was kidding!!
Do we really want that crap again?! So embarrassing to have chosen such a man to be Prez & a world leader, representing the USA on global stage!
The “wrong-wingers in GOP are really no different than the Taliban & other extremist fanatics who will do anything to force their agenda on everyone else! And will KILL those who disagree with ’em!
“Fascist States of America anyone?!?
Are you Sunny B. from long ago? Yes, the “wrong-wingers in the GOP” are WAY more extreme than ANYONE we could possibly think of being on the left. I can put faces on them. Governor Abbott, Governor DeSantis, Jim Jordan, Ted Cruz, Marjorie Taylor Taylor Greene ,Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and of course, the one who started this extremism in the first place, Donald J. Trump. I’m sure I missed a few.
Judy, did you ever get an answer from Sunny??Bradshaw about whether she is the Sunny B from long ago?? I was about to ask the same question last night. I do hope it is, she had told me she had pretty serious health problems with her carotid arteries being clogged.
I think you covered most of these mentally deranged wingers, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone are 2 slimy thugs i might add to the list. Governor Brian Kemp here in GA is fairly awful too and so is the Congress member of the district i live in, Drew Ferguson, a MAGAt GQP also.
Yeah, and so what, huh? You think anyone gives a d**n? You know that is, because NOTHINGS going to happen to this murderous racist, that’s why. This kind of s**t NEEDS to be an automatic disqualification from serving in ANY government office ANYWHERE in the country, forever.
Republican Fatwa has become a thing. It’s kind of moved on from mafia style revenge into religious fundamentalist territory.
Or as i would call them, ”religious fanatic territory” those that ”hide” behind their religion to justify their corrupt and adulterous activities and other unlawful actions.
