There’s already a civil war brewing in my Florida chud family over this issue. I’m just gonna sit back and enjoy the show.
Yeah at thanksgiving my family were talking shit about trump after him being the second coming for the last 5 years
On top of that, if you're going to fake being a CHUD, side with our big wet boy.
DeSantis is more competent and is more motivated than Trump. Trump ultimately just wants people to pay attention to him, DeSantis is laser-focused on making undesirables die.
Get them to fight for your favor, and then a few weeks in, drop the bomb that you'll only go for the one who will bring about communism and make their brains explode.
that's honestly hilarious, like the dumbest point of contention I could possibly imagine
They'll vote GOP no matter what because the alternative is another 4 years of communist Brandon
My MIL was berating my wife for not voting by selling it as her “freedom to go vote” but immediately followed that up by saying she votes for whomever the GPO tells her to
what if trump doesn't start tweeting again because twitter gets dissolved in February?
Then he's fucked. If he can't be publicly catty about celebrity gossip or inane culture war bullshit he is sunk.
I don't think he's in on it, but I would entertain that this is why he was forced to go through with buying twitter
The Iowa primary will be like 75% Trump, 20% DeSantis, and the remaining 5% a bunch of no names. DeSantis will drop out before super Tuesday. I can't see Trump doing anything that would dissuade loyalty. I thought him advocating vaccines would do it, but chuds are more wedded to the Trump that exists in their imagination than in reality
I think it depends on visibility which is Trump's whole thing. The dude coasted on media propping him up, negative or positive. The more press he got in right wing circles the more he was the golden child. The more press he got in liberal circles he was "owning the libs."
Trump rankles more feathers and so is primed to get more coverage but he's also shown his own ass enough times that he won't get political backing until he proves it will be worth it to them. The last time Trump got to pretend he was some kind of outside perspective that would shake things up. In a Trump dominated GOP that means Desantis has a chance to be that same thing. I guess it hinges on which one is clever enough to find this out but they're both clinically dumbasses so I figure it'll just be a kind of attrition until the nomination and then the rank and file will fall in line.
I fucking hate that Trump is our only hope to stop DeSantis
:elmofire:
I would hazard about 20%. But a lions share of that will be florida specific.
More than they want to admit, but the Trump cult is very strong and still credits him with the "good economy." Every rural American I've talked to brings that up repeatedly. At the same time, I'm wondering if DeSantis is being talked about like Rudy was for 2012. He was hyped before the primaries took place and in the early stage of them, only to fall off completely as Mitt Romney overtook him.
My guess is that Desantis support outside of Florida is mostly never-trumpers from the first go-around
Do even people in Florida really like DeSantis? He has the personality of a wet paper bag.
