Opinion by RICH LOWRY

07/07/2022 01:42 PM EDT

Rich Lowry is editor of National Review and a contributing editor with Politico Magazine.

[Because liberals should do as conservatives tell us amirite?]



snip-"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t even won a second term yet, let alone announced for president, and he’s already emerging as the most dangerous Republican in America" {no shit}

snip-"There is no doubt that DeSantis reflects a new more Trumpian Republican Party, in his combativeness with the press, in his emphasis on cultural issues, in his willingness to use government power in the culture war, and in his ability to appeal to Trump voters."{no shit}

snip-" In all the ways that should matter, in short, DeSantis is better than Trump, and compared to the former president, he is reassuringly normal. In a better world, this would win him some grudging praise from unexpected quarters. Instead, because he’s a conservative Republican with some chance to be his party’s presidential nominee, he is ipso facto considered a threat to the republic."{He is a republican,of course he is a threat to our Republic you conservative fuckwit}

1. Yes, we should welcome him...

into a Tesla that has no brakes.

2. bwahahaha... good one. :)

Had I realized the comment came from Lowry, I would have trashed the thread in advance.

Why do we want to read what Lowry spews at any time, on any day?

Well speaking for myself, the answer is never.

3. Someone who openly uses the mechanisms of government to punish

companies he doesn't favor, or political enemies, or any group he wants to punch down on--he's an anti-American psycho.

4. Lowry defeats his own argument with his description of DeSantis

There is no doubt that DeSantis reflects a new more Trumpian Republican Party,

That's the most damning statement right there. Who wants or needs a new, more Trumpian anything?

Unless you're a budding fascist?

As for grudging praise?

Sure if you're into praising a Mussolini wanna-be, 2.0.

These are words written by Kool-Aid Man.

5. We should embrace Hitler because he is not Mussolini

That makes perfect sense...

[Buckeyeblue]

6. He doesn't seem to have much of a personality

Granted, there is plenty of time for a good pr person to pull out what little he has. So we'll see.

7. desatan is a trump support splitter. Dems need a bunch of them.

[trump is likely to vote whack desatan at some point before November - which seems good].

8. "I, for one, welcome our fascist overlords."
