Some liberal goof asserted that Ron DeSantis resided somewhere on the Asperger’s Spectrum in a recent tweet that I can’t dig up with just a cursory search, but said pinko tweeted that like it was a bad thing. It’s not. It’s a great thing, and we need more GOP pols with that condition’s political manifestation. People with Asperger’s tend to miss social cues and fail to respond as society expects, but many are also focused, driven, and generally amazing in their areas of interest. When you put those qualities together in a right-wing officeholder, that means you have a Conservative Terminator. Conservativing is what he does; it’s all he does.
So, bring on the Asperger’s Republicans.
Far too many Republicans, for far too long, have found themselves distracted and/or enslaved by the elite consensus, restrained by norms and conventions that the liberal elite demands we observe, but that it itself flaunts when those rules limit its options. These Fredocons care what people who care nothing about them think, and they find themselves responding to the outside stimuli of the garbage mainstream media instead of focusing intently on conservative change while disregarding the slings and arrows of the haters. When it comes to fighting the establishment, political Asperger’s is indicative of awesomeness.
And our next generation of Republicans needs to embrace their place on the Spectrum – the more inappropriate the liberal elite finds their reactions to its cues and signals, the better. No more tame, pliable sissies like Mitt (R-ish – Miracle Whip). No more of Nikki! Haley’s sucking up to the establishment while trying to grift the base by leveraging hack conserva-cliché’s from 2005 to present to us as hardcore instead of Jeb! in a dress. No more Kristi!s and Asa!s fronting as all tuff about men pretending to be girls to win races then folding the second the establishment disapproves. Instead, we need GOP politicians who are utterly immune to the siren song of a media and an establishment that seek to draw them in and crash them upon the rocks. Our pols need to ignore MSNBCNN and its hysterical horsehockey. They need to stop reading the NYT and WaPo and being scared that a bad write-up will get them uninvited to all the cool parties. They need to lock onto their target and take it out like an Israeli missile flattens a Hamas/AP frat house.
Look at Ron DeSantis – he just doesn't care what the bad guys say. Not at all. They scream that he won’t enforce face-diapering, that he’s too hard on election fraud, that’s he’s declared open season on those Antifa/BLM nimrods who trap normal citizens in their cars on public roads, and then DeSantis just goes ahead and does what he wants anyway. And it works – he’s super popular.
This was not Donald Trump’s style – Trump would engage the haters, if only to sock them in the gut, often with his apocryphal mean tweets. But not Ron the Conqueror. No, DeSantis’s accomplishments are his mean tweets.
See, the liberal elite always misunderstood the nature of Donald Trump, and the elite failed to appreciate the popularity of his ideas. In dealing the pain, Trump was the right man at the right time – we needed his punch-back then to show the simps we could counter-attack. But that strategy had a cost. The elite gleefully exploited Trump’s colorful antics, and it leveraged his feistiness into a weapon to energize the pinkos while alienating the softcons from fully supporting the most conservative president since Reagan. They focused on attacking Trump in terms of social class and style instead of in terms of substance. They couldn’t, and it’s only now that many people are noticing just how amazing Trump’s accomplishments were in contrast to President *’s unending series of failures.
The elite finds itself at a grave disadvantage when it comes up against a pol it can’t provoke into fighting on the elite’s preferred ground, the favorable terrain of social class and style within a culture the elite controls. An Asperger’s Republican has a relentless focus on conservative achievement, of doing what he/she wants done, and he/she is not distracted by the disapproval of the media or even his/her peers. An Asperger’s Republican simply does conservative things, heedless of liberal howling and calumny, and then the liberals are stuck having to battle on the hostile terrain of actual achievements. What is someone going to say to DeSantis as Florida leads the recovery out of the pandemic paranoia? “Sure, there was no tsunami of death when you took the lead in eschewing flu hajibs, but you still should have made people wrap a hanky around their mugs forever because of reasons?”
There’s a lesson there for Republican pols – and all of us.
Stop giving a damn what people who hate you think and say, and just do what you promised to do. Don’t ask permission – and don’t ask forgiveness either. Get it done.
This is where I must join the Spectrum Caucus because there are going to be some folks who pretend to be highly offended, outraged, and literally shaking over my analogy to Asperger’s and “The Spectrum.” To them, I say this: I don’t care if you’re offended. I am going to do and say whatever I want, all the time, in whatever manner I feel like doing and saying it, and you are going to sit there and cry. Buzz off.
We need more people saying things like that, especially among our politicians.
Bttt
Giuliani did this in the media bullseye of NYC. Every day the NY Times, etc. said that he was literally Hitler, and he just never gave a damn and pulled the city back from the brink of the abyss, pretty much single-handedly.
We want Trump. Even if YOU don’t.
FTA: “To them, I say this: I don’t care if you’re offended. I am going to do and say whatever I want, all the time, in whatever manner I feel like doing and saying it, and you are going to sit there and cry. Buzz off.”
This statement takes the stated philosophical approach to another level, that of a seasoned citizen who seen it all and will call BS at the first whiff of odor. I’d say we all have that skill and need the focus of a Ron DeSantis to call it as it is while ignoring the turmoil that would keep us from accomplishing the goal.
In dealing the pain, Trump was the right man at the right time [...]
I feel that that should instead read "In dealing out the pain..." or "In dealing the pain to [Indirect Object]."
Otherwise: Picture-perfect!
Regards,
Who says I don’t? I voted for him in 2016, and 2020, and will vote for him again in 2024. SJTFU

Kurt seems to have forgotten that DJT won the 2020 election and that most of us expect him to serve out what’s left of his term.
Ia gree mwith your #7. The other dude is picking a fight.
Good article by Kurt!
My very liberal ex made this statement about me at our 1st sons wedding. “ He ( meaning me) says inappropriate things at times.” My response was “ Would you like me to say something inappropriate now”. She blushed and said “No”. The wedding was in Seattle, and I grew up in Florida. By inappropriate she meant I wasn’t politically correct. The Bride’s family was from Florida, and The new mother in law was cordial with me until I mentioned that the last time I wore my Tux was to the Governors Inauguration Ball. The new Governor was Rick Scott. Oops how inappropriate.
Shouldn't the writer have said "No, DeSantis’s accomplishments are not his mean tweets".? Doesn't make sense the way it is written.
Tourette’s on top of Asperger’s would indeed be a nice touch in dealing with the Democrat/communist/Left in America.
That’s just central_vagina - doing his usual hit and run.
“Honey Badger” or “DGAF” Conservatism.
As opposed to “Republicanism”.
I thought the same, and reread it several times. I think the wording works as is, when you realize that KS means the accomplishments of DeSantis are his version of PDJT’s mean tweets. Read it like this, "No, DeSantis’s accomplishments are his mean tweets".
Ha!
Don’t want or need a Gretchen Thune or whatever thsy swede’s name is....just want a real leader that says the truth as charitably as reasonable and darn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Don’t need a romney or bush, nor an ignorant green-girl shaming folk, but a real man. Reagan was that!
