Ron DeSantis' Supporters Send a Warning to Donald Trump
newsweek ^ | Jan 22, 2024 | Katherine Fung

Supporters of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' now suspended campaign are sending a warning to Donald Trump, threatening to withhold their votes from him should he win the GOP nomination this summer.

A number of DeSantis backers expressed their frustrations with Trump supporters, whom they tangled with during the nomination race, and signaled that they could be holding a grudge that has the potential to cost the GOP the general election.

Another pro-DeSantis account, @KaladinFree, warned Trump supporters that their candidate of choice "can't afford to lose ANY" DeSantis fans. It said that if Trump lost the 2020 election, presumably with the support of all the voters who backed DeSantis this time around, there is no way for Trump can win the 2024 race with only some of those voters.

"I'm done with Trump. Yes, DeSantis was the superior choice, but now we are stuck with this trash," another X user wrote. "Do NOT donate to the RNC or to Trump's campaign, 80% of your $ will go to his legal bills, nothing left for house/senate seats. Donate locally. We must keep the House."

Like I said, I’m not going to kiss your little ring. You don’t want to vote for Trump. I couldn’t care less.

You are not going to elect a president... 90 million+ voters are.

It would be nice if Trump would take accountability for his disastrous handling of COVID that drove many of us to DeSantis in the first place. Apologize profusely, admit he got it dead wrong, and reassure America that he will never partake in anything so destructive again.

DeSantis should beg for forgiveness for locking down Florida and for quarantining travelers such as myself when we tried to travel to Florida.

And this is what the Dems are banking on. Trump and his hardcore supporters need to grow up, drop the ego and unify. Are Desantis supporters fair weather friends? Of course, but we still need them, like it or not.

Not so anecdotal...

I support DeSantis, and if it ends up being Trump on the ticket in November, I will not vote for the office of president.

Election fraud cased Trump to lose the 2020 election.

Trying to appease blackmailers, isn’t going to help.

DeSantis locked down his state. What are you talking about? He praised Fauci. He said he is doing a great job.

You’re not going to gaslight me on COVID, perhaps the most expensive and destructive domestic policy disaster in the nation’s history. And it wasn’t DeSantis behind it. It was Trump. I watched it unfold with my own eyes.

And just because now nobody will ever be held accountable doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten.

It is a battle for the soul of the Republican Party, MAGA vs. Uniparty. Of course, there are Uniparty (R) members who very well might switch to Uniparty (D). Good riddance.

Because of voter fraud, we can’t afford to lose a single DeSantis supporters vote.

If appeasing them is what it takes, I’m willing to appease the daylights out of them, a la Pulp Fiction scene:

The Wolf:
Get it straight, gentlemen: I’m not here to say please, I’m here to tell you what to do. And if self-preservation is an instinct that you possess, you’d better do it and do it quick. If my help’s not appreciated, lots of luck, gentlemen.

Jules:
No, Mr. Wolf, it ain’t like that...

Vincent:
I don’t mean any disrespect, I just don’t like people barking orders at me.

The Wolf:
If I’m curt with you, it’s because time is a factor here. I think fast, I talk fast, and I need you guys to act fast if you want to get out of this. So, pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the f***ing car.

Some remember the Wuhan Coup Flu very differently..

Almost like the victim of the coup is to blame for all those oath takers that forgot that oath and enabled an installation of a puppet through a virus centered in China that locked down the entire globe to steal the American Presidential election..

And MAGA voters haven’t forgotten about the actions of enemies foreign and domestic through the whole thing...

Not easy to search for examples, but here are some of the comments that have been made

There must be some exceptions, but in general the Trump supporters on FR are the most ungracious people in the USA.

And one of the interesting things about it, is that they will eventually need the support and votes of the people that they are profaning. Good luck with that.

We told for months MAGA didn’t need our votes. I’m not going to make them liars.

These MAGA idiots have made me consider the unthinkable. I just may vote for a Kennedy.
