    I feel like desantis would be voted on as being more of a normal type candidate, and might kinda normalize the alt-rightness that trump brought to the table (and desantis has as much as trump does, he’s just not in your face about it).

    The dude literally copies Trump down to the hand gestures and clothing choices. And have you seen Florida lately? He is more of a fascist than Trump is, except instead of being driven by money, he’s driven by an unquenchable desire to “eat with the popular girls.”

    If, by some twist of fate, he normalizes anything on the right, it’s because he has an unassailably dull and shallow personality, not because he is more normal or reasonable than Trump.

      He also desperately wants to be 5’11”.

        And everyone else desparately want that to be relevant. Much like Trump’s small hands, Biden’s weirdly hands on approach to familiarity, Obama’s love of gourmet condiments, etc… it’s nothing more than attempt at making something innocuous into something monumental.

        He’s got plenty of awful qualities, wearing lifts isn’t one of them. To focus on it is to distract from meaningful criticism.

      (and desantis has as much [alt right] as trump does, he’s just not in your face about it).

      Did I not say the exact same thing there? I feel like I said the exact same thing… I certainly meant the exact same thing…
