    DeSantis is actually smart and could accomplish all that bad shit. Trump is too dumb to wield levers of power correctly. Sure the bourgeoisie get their way with Trump but he still limits them. DeSantis is the competent fascist we've all worried about.

      I don't buy "Trump is dumb" theory. He plays dumb but is actually very manipulative. He uses his intelligence in a way that appears stupid on the surface but provokes people to react exactly the way he wants. He's an entertainer, after all. I've noticed he often phrases things in a way that's deliberately open to interpretation so that everyone hears what they want.

      Sure the bourgeoisie get their way with Trump but he still limits them.

      I don't think giving the rich tax breaks and further privatizing the remaining functions of the state is "limiting the bourgeoisie." His entire term can be characterized as an enormous handout to the bourgeoisie.

      DeSantis is the competent fascist we’ve all worried about.

      You don't need a "competent fascist." the American government is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and its foreign policy has been "competent fascism" on autopilot since at least 1949. I feel like everyone's gonna just let DeSantis Derangement Syndrome replace Trump Derangement Syndrome.

      It's gonna be real funny if Trump loses the primary to DeSantis and we watch him become so petulantly bitter that he immediately becomes a huge critic of the DeSantis presidency and.... is rehabilitated and welcomed by the liberals just like George W Bush was.

      Anyway my question was : What will DeSantis actually do different than Trump or Biden? All I get is vague handwaving about "competency"
