DeSantis is the real thing. His entire identity is tied up in hate. Hating his fellow citizens. What Democrats are DeSantis is not. As a point. We used to feel that way about Nazis. We understood ourselves as what they weren't. Now being a Nazi is fine among Republicans. Being a racist is fine. Being part of an identity movement is fine. Wishing your fellow citizens ill is good. Getting people killed is fine.
So DeSantis and the Republican Party are an unbelievable fit. This guy is spitting out hate with his wife and children right there. And Republicans are SO worried about improper influences on children. DeSantis is a Nazi. When he says 'woke' we're talking about people. When he says 'mob' we're talking about nothing. The 'woke mob' doesn't exist. But mobs exist among Republicans.
They're replete with mobs.
Proud Boys. Militias. Capitol attackers. One-Percenters. The morons in Charlottesville that Trump loved. All the people who show up, often with guns, in groups to intimidate other people. Boogaloos. Oath Keepers. It's hard to keep up but the fascisti, being cowards, love to go out in groups and scare people. DeSantis went to Yale. He's more a Heydrich or Goebbels. Educated. Nicely turned out. Not illiterate.
Well spoken if hate is your thing. When he talks about the woke mob to begin with there is no mob. That's a lie. He's inventing threats to stoke fear and create hate. And, the 'woke' are doing nothing wrong, apart from not even being a group. They have rights like everybody. But not in Florida. According to Ron. Which should be illegal if it isn't but Republicans never cared, going back to segregation days.
The good old days. When America had apartheid. They like criminality. Selectively.
The right kinds of criminals. Criminals who are on their side. Or who are rich as shit. After 9/11 Bush should have called for an end to anonymous international banking, tying it to money laundering and terrorism. Which is true. But tax cheats and arms profiteers and shady conglomerates are his peeps. Republicans love power. They'll do anything for power. And DeSantis is now their go-to thug.
