The way desantis just started acting like trump to win over the MAGA crowd makes me think he is more of an amoral climber who just wants to ascend in power however he can, not an ideologue. But maybe not. And he just hands out money like candy to supportive constituencies to gain loyalty from them even though most republicans hate giving handouts to the peasants. So it makes me think he’s not an ideologue but an amoral sociopath who just wants to achieve his dream of getting as high up in power as possible.

But maybe those people make the best fascists anyway….
