Just saying that this guy could be worse than Trump. He could rule our country for over 40 years. He has not denounced Putin for Ukraine. I think he wants to be a Putin and the billionaires who now seem to back him would be running the country just like Russia. https://www.alternet.org/2022/05/ron-desantis-bankrolled-extraordinary-billionaires/

DeSantis is their puppet of choice.

(200 posts)He's much worse than trump...we were lucky, trump's appearance gave some clues to his derangement, this guy is a racist, Zeno phobic, homophobic, misogynistic, narcissist (where have I seen that description before) but this guy looks somewhat normal. He already has the legislature doing anything and everything he asks, the courts are fighting him but he just rolls over anything that gets in his way.
The best we can hope for is that he and trump end up at each other's throats...and even then, I'd put my money on Desantis.
