DeSantis is a 'very dangerous individual' because he has 'already absorbed all the lessons of Trump' but doesn't have any of the baggage, an expert on fascism argues

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is best placed to take Trump's place as a 2024 GOP presidential nominee.

An expert on authoritarianism told Insider that's because he's learned all of Trump's lessons.

The expert added that DeSantis 'doesn't have the baggage of Trump,' and could rally voters.

“An expert on authoritarianism” apparently cannot discern the totalitarian impulses of the left and differentiate them from the freedom loving right.

Anybody who thinks DeSantis is an authoritarian is completely nuts.

Look at Desantis in the House. He will fall in line like the rest. Only Trump can take down DC.

“Only Trump can take down DC.”

Then why didn’t he do it? He had four years, and he filled his administration with swamp dwellers. He showed very clearly that he can’t “take down DC”. He doesn’t have the focus, disciple or judgment about people to carry out that huge task. He actually left the swamp stronger than ever by appointing people like Wray to lead the FBI.

And his bad judgment in choosing aides and department heads

Smooching up to the other DeSantis shills on this thread, dogboy?

You never answered my question the other day:

What was your freeper name during the FR primary wars of 2015-2016?

Praising DeSantis is not smearing Trump, they are both America First, so stop running DeSantis down.

It is interesting that the left are the ones who are authoritarian and fascist.

They are also looking to create a split and bad blood between DeSantis and Trump.

Personally, I think after what was done to Trump for four years and on election night, he is owed the presidency.

But I really like DeSantis. He seems honest for a politician. I get good vibes from him. And he fights. We need that.

I’m not going to let the rotten leftist media make me start bad mouthing one or the other.

They’re terrified of Trump but wait til the reality of what is written here sinks in. DeSantis could embody all the MAGA of Trump, but none of the baggage. It all depends on what Trump really wants and the extent to which they are willing to go to stop him.

“ bad blood between DeSantis and Trump.”

Trump started that by calling Desantis a “coward” for not announcing his vax-booster status.

When you go to do a Google search, trash like this always pops up as “trending” news.

Our society is being poisoned with this ridiculous left wing propaganda.

Earlier today, it was the “expert” saying Trump has to be arrested in order to save our democracy.

An “expert” on facism, authoritarianism, or other drivel.

I like that we have both Trump and DeSantis. I’d take either one. Too early to say how the cookie will crumble.
