Good.

Ah yes, the first wave of purges. Looks like rubio and elmo are getting the chop. Historically, that always happens with authoritarian regimes after the initial takeover. The french revolution, stalin, hitler, pol pot, you name it. There will be an internal consolidation of power, with those either not radical enough to continue or too ambitious for those at the top getting sidelined or deposed otherwise. This will happen again periodically each time a new level of control has been reached.

Wait , feuding with repubs? Could he be getting smarter, developing a spine caring about fellow Americans??

Wouldn't it be wonderful? But sadly it turns out that there are multiple dimensions of viciousness and they'll fight each other almost as eagerly as they'll fight against being decent.

Hey look, Governor Dork.
DeadWhiteMale
His current term ends on January 5, 2027. That's plenty of time for him to do more harm.

Maybe you remember him as Meatball Ron

That would be moRon DeathSentence.

He decided he actually needed to govern which is why MAGA started to hate him.
fractalsphere
Was he ever relevant? Or was he always a second tier politician with delusions of adequacy?
TheArrestingAbhorrentArrantAbominableAlliterator
I'm fairly certain there's an alt universe where Trump went to jail but DeSantis became the MAGA leader and not much else is different.
eadanke
He was in the news more than was warranted, and the news no longer covers him. Who knows if he was relevant or just good copy.
DukeDarkwood
Being a state governor unfortunately makes one very relevant. Floridians couldn't exactly ignore what he was doing to them. And he did a lot to them.
"Relevant" doesn't necessarily mean good.
fractalsphere
True dat

Ok, but how soon does he go fuck himself?

DeSantis Christian faith advisor dismissed from church leadership after having sex with high school student. https://www.rawstory.com/desantis-faith-advisor-dismissed-from-church-leadership-after-past-history-of-sin-as-a-teacher/ (u can't even find any corporate media that reported this. if this were a Dem it be on fox/oan(ATT), newsmax, cnn, abc, cbs, nbc... 24/7 and it would be a major issue for every election cycle)

Every unhinged chumper crashes & burns.
...Rudy Guiliani, Paul Manafort, Alex Jones, Mike Lindell, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, etc. ...
They all see the trail of dumped bodies, but they all jump at the chance to be the next expendable & discarded minion.
Don't follow the livestock or the butcher when they're headed towards the slaughterhouse.

Maybe they just got tired of his holier than thou whinny voice

Was he ever really relevant? He was just newsworthy for his BS.

Oh No! Anyway....

So good news/bad news is this means the next guy is probably gonna be worse cuz it ain't like people who voted for desantis are gonna start voting democrat
MadamPuddifoot
Isn't his wife rumored to be attempting a run?
shyriath
Yeah, but last I heard she's kinda sinking with him.
ArdentSlacker
Yeah, but they *might* just stay home.
LaffertyDanie1
I think that's very true for trump voters but idk about desantis

Governor go-go boots is a thief

Fall? Fucker was never not scraping the lowest shit pit
OutlawGerman
I mean.. when you respond to a devastating hurricane your state experienced in like RACISTLY white boots and an ironed crisp vest you'd honestly expect the rating to have fallen a fuck ton faster but. Well. It is Florida.
timmaybanks
His actual problem is he refused to attack trump and would take all hits on the chin. He expected the feds to take care of the trump problem.
RigidGristle
eetsumkaus
on the contrary, I'm surprised it's fallen at all, but that really tells you more about how the cult responds to people who go against Dear Leader.
Neorago
I always considered the start of his downfall to be when he tried to fight The Mouse and lost. I don't think the move to rising in politics in Florida is angering the largest employer in your state...
OutlawGerman
It's not. I just very unfortunately moved to Florida for my career. Disney bumper stickers are on 3/5 cars I pass down here. Conservatives don't REALLY care about the hiring programs of Disney apparently.
timmaybanks
Didnt seem to hurt him last election
dogdayafternoon13
If it can happen to him, it can happen to anybody. Remember that people.
Trimule
Ladeees and Genermen....I give you the next Gubner of the Greaaaat State of Florida....Sheriff Grady Judd! What? Oh.... Sheriff Judd is busy holding his biweekly press conference about catchin' hundreds (not joking here) of crimnuls an Mesicans and such like but he WILL be appearing in a foto op near you soon. Be sure to wear your body armor, sunglasses, backward baseball cap and at least two big ass guns if you want to get an autographed picture. (Donations are being accepted)

Here's to hoping governor hot wheels has the same crash here in TX

i just feel Dems couldn't be so stupid to not grab onto popular issues, podium speeches, run their campaigns straight talking. if u think about it the DNC is funded by corporations/billionaires, we all know that because the DNC has no products/services to generate revenue. the DNC i guess needs $200 billion annually for city, county, state, federal elections. that's why all the Dems don't speak like Bernie, AOC, Justice Dems. what do u think?
timmaybanks
No. The presidential election itself was less than 2 billion. You think somehow they spend 200 billion a year on elections. LMAO. They dont speak like justice dems because they fell out of favor since 2018 because they focus on purity politics instead of getting anything done.
DysgraphicProgrammer
Can we just call him a piece of shit with out making it about his disability?
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
nope, I like the nickname Crockett gave him

NY, IL made USA a Super Power from 1890 40s the CA for the last 80 years made USA a Military Super Power. in the last decades the the corporations have been moving to GOP states (TX...) because their rancid corrupt and don't prosecute corporate crimes. TX started voter cheating 2000 it doesn't get coverage. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/02/texas-polling-sites-closures-voting TX should be BLue
NovemberAlphaMikeEcho
New York City, Illinois? 1890 40's the California? I am sorry, could you re-type your comment?
Timesarrows
where do u think the Federal Gov. gets it's money from? states' citizens' who work and pay taxes, the largest economic states.
NovemberAlphaMikeEcho
I am not disagreeing with you, I am saying your sentences are kinda blended together. For example, 1890 40's are two completely different time periods.
Timesarrows
NY and IL funded USA from inception to 40s and on to today but CA really is the source of USA Super Power Funding. even within the red states it was the blue cities that created commerce revenue. last decades corporations have moved to red corrupt states to escape prosecutions.
