      this almost certainly falls into a weird middle ground of “virtue signal that even he knows is not realistic, but which also speaks to the legitimate opinion of many Republican voters and elites probably including himself”. DeSantis is many things–but ignorant is not one of them.

    • Step 1: defund government agencies
    • Step 2: point to “how poorly the government runs”
    • Step 3: campaign on the platform that big government is bad
    • Step 4: repeat until the world is a fireball

      Have you read any of the Shadowrun series of books where everything is controlled by mega corporations with their own private armies and pseudo slavery?
