    I heard that clip of Desantis trying to make small talk at a publicity thing, and he seriously sounded like a conure repeating phrases it had heard. "HI! Howyadoin? Busyhuh? What'syourname? Okay!" All delivered in the same tone of overcompensating for a disinterested condescension . He thinks if he just puts more energy into his normal human mask (which is the mask of a more subtle guy, one never meant to operate at high voltage and high attention like this, but he doesn't understand that so instead he comes off as the serial killer he probably is) then people won't notice his obvious disdain for them.

      the serial killer he probably is

      I'd bet money that he's house has a "workshop" that he padlocks shut. And it's actually a torture chamber that he calls "Little Gitmo".

        I said this a few days ago - Musk has TONS of skeletons in his closer but I bet DeSantis has WEIRDER ones - I'd bet he's personally flayed a few people in secret.

          I still don't understand how he became governor. Did he somehow avoid retail politics 100% of time? Unlike a lot of ghouls - he's clearly a ghoul and a creep.

          There is something seriously wrong with the guy. It must emanate from him like heat off a radiator running at 100%.

          I assume if you're within 100 feet of the guy - the hair the back of your neck and your arms starts to rise like you're near an actual demon.

          Edit

          The same goes double for Rick Scott. Maybe "off-putting" is a complement in Florida.
