The Danger of DeSantis
Your support has allowed us to continue to blast our Trump ad on every screen in Mar-a-Lago. No, we don’t feel sorry for the poor staffer who will have to clean the ketchup off Trump’s gold-enameled chandelier.
But today, we’re taking a break from the tyrannical toddler, and we’re hitting the GOP establishment’s latest fashionable authoritarian:
Ron DeSantis.
Why are we taking time to talk about a potential Presidential candidate whose biggest public enemy is an animated talking mouse? Because now he’s set his sight on Ukraine and democracy.
DeSantis is adopting pro-Putin talking points and some prominent GOP members are still trying to call him a more moderate Trump. Yep, the “party of Reagan” is now the party of Putin. See any irony below?
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.” – Ronald Reagan
“While the U.S. has many vital national interests… becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.” — Ron DeSantis
He’s backing strongmen and attacking drag queens, supporting Putin’s warmongering and undermining democracy at home.
The next year will be Trump and DeSantis volleying back and forth increasingly extremist policies. The end result? A 2024 GOP platform that cuts funding to Ukraine and supports Marjorie Taylor Greene’s civil war.
