      Honestly I don’t even fucking know lmao. Like he lists out a ton of reasons that desantis would be awful based on his governance of Florida and then just goes “but that doesn’t mean he’d be worse than trump who also did that but also banned Muslims!! Remember the Muslim travel ban?!”

      And then he’s like some people say trumps ability to do bad things was matched by his ineptness, basically the desantis is a more competent fascist reasoning, and responds to that by saying actually that the government plans to reign trump in more next time. Which seems like a point that makes desantis seem worse to me but … :shrug-outta-hecks:

      It really seems comes down to “desantis more civil uwu”

          Also the immigrant busing shit and overreach he recently did wrt that. No reason to think he wouldn’t be emboldened to do similar things as president.

          He as a human rights lawyer in Guantanamo Bay during the Bush administration. If that doesn't show he's objectively evil, then I don't know what is.

          Liberals will just "he's more than his job" like they did with Kamala being a prosecutor.

      Paywalled, so who can even say anymore. You'd need to be subscribed to the Failing NYT to find out.
