I would suggest that every Freeper should sit down and review Ron DeSantis' background carefully. Just list up to a half-dozen (or more) things that stand out from his biography -- Ivy League (twice) lawyer ... brief tenure at the DOJ ... career politician ... never worked outside government ... etc. If you read that biographical profile and didn't associate it with a specific person, you'd swear it fit the profile of a "Deep State" political operative to a T.
Now look around Washington these days. The place is filled with these people, and Donald Trump ran for office to fight this kind of sh!t.
Ron DeSantis is "managed," for sure. He will play the role of the outsider and the renegade while he must, but when push comes to shove and he's faced with a consequential decision in the White House where his principles are up against the financial interests behind the political forces there ... you can be damn sure he's going to come down on the side of Exxon/Mobil, Boeing, Raytheon, the John McCain Institute, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Until then, he's just George W. Bush in 2000 ... insisting that the U.S. should never get involved in "nation building" around the globe while the cabal of duplicitous @ssholes who manage him are already making plans for the country's next military (mis)adventures.
It's amazing how easily so many people here are fooled repeatedly by this nonsense.
