He has ZERO qualms about pushing his radical, racist, bigoted, Christofascist agenda and he's telling us as much right here in the clip. This type of rhetoric should have no place in society. Can you imagine the outrage of a liberal politician said "I will ensure that conservatism is destroyed in America"?

troubles, then DeSantis getting zero traction because he's simply pathetic, and unlikable. I think then you'd see Liz Cheney step in to the race. I think she would just fight for the 65% of non magas, and flat out disregard the actual magas.

Remember, Trump told the masses that the system was rigged against them. He gave them something to rally around.

DeSantis is just going full facism. I don't know how you inspire people with that message.

Dr. King? RFK? JFK?

Democrats who think American citizens are entitled to a choice of universal health insurance provider?

People who think banksters should not get a bonus and should be made to put back the money they stole?

The gang at World Socialist Club who believe in a living wage and affordable housing?

The people who believe all people are equal under law?

Our rhetoric really is messed down.

DeSantis is absolutely a Fascist. The only difference between him and Hitler is that he’s operating in a Democracy (for now).
