“Who else other than DeSantis has been as effective on issues that are important to us (election integrity, immigration, wokery)? I’d say the only person that has even approached the effectivity in combatting the left is Trump himself”
Actually I would say that Trump easily surpassed DeSantis in dealing with most if not all the issues you cite. Take immigration for starters.
Trump drastically reduced illegal immigration during his term, mostly completed a border wall that was very effective, in conjunction with border patrol agents being allowed to enforce the law, in catching and returning illegals. He forced Mexico’s President to send his own troops to the border, to reduce the numbers attempting to cross illegally. He instituted a remain in Mexico policy for those seeking asylum and got countries who, under previous administrations, refused to take back their illegals, to do so. He was aggressive in rounding up M13 gang members and either arresting them or sending them back to their countries of origin. He instituted a temporary ban on immigration from countries that were not transparent regarding terrorism.
DeSantis sent illegals living in Texas to Martha’s Vineyard.
Now, of course DeSantis can't fight immigration on a fed level like Trump, but he has at the state level. Now, how about fixing wokery. I would argue that DeSantis has done a more effective job than Trump and his Trannie/gay friendly outreach in that regard. Ironically, it was the Log Cabin anti-Trumpers that helped the left against him. And DeSantis has enacted more EOs and signed legislation to put teeth in the war against ANTIFA/BLM rioting and protests at the state level.
