Something I’ve noticed since the Regan days. When the Dems get control it’s all about change and upheaval, when the Repubs are in power the Dems fight and sow dissent (under Trump it actually got close to revolution if you recall).
When the Repubs get in power all they seem to want to do is placate and relax. I’ve never seen this worse than when Ryan, Boehner and Company were in charge. IMO

The republicans are scared to death of the media, and for good reason. Any republican with the brass ones to act like a democrat and go on the offensive is attacked by a broad spectrum media onslaught... and they don’t forget either. You stick your neck out as a republican, and they keep swinging the axe for months and years down the road.
Ever since watergate, these people are not just biased “journalists” drunk on their power of influence, they have had decades of top down organizational-control, recruiting, grooming, and networking with powerful democrats. Remember when Limbaugh would often play montages of media members across the spectrum all uttering the exact same phrase that would be impossible to be a coincidence? There are no coincidences.
DeSantis is smart. Rather than show them that he can be culled and herded, like most republicans are, he shows defiance at every turn. Though that makes him more of a target, he is already one of the top targets, and it actually disheartens the media conspirators to some degree.
