Is there a legitimate reason to bring Trump into this thread, when it’s not about him? His 2017-2021 record does not say “RINO”, although his cabinet is another story as are the revolving doors of the Uniparty in Congress.

And JFTR, Schmidt is of course lying about DeSantis based on the man’s actions as FL governor; see below.

God does not exist—religion in science is an absurdity, in practice an immorality and in men a disease. …

— Mussolini, 1924

Fascism establishes the real equality of individuals before the nation… the object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people… What does social justice mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes; it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement. Nor is this enough. It means that the workers must enter more and more intimately into the productive process and share its necessary discipline… As the past (19^th) century was the century of capitalist power, the 20^th century is the century of power and glory of labor.

— Mussolini, 1935

When the war is over, in the world’s social revolution that will be followed by a more equitable distribution of the earth’s riches, due account must be kept of the sacrifices and of the discipline maintained by the Italian workers. The Fascist revolution will make another decisive step to shorten social distances. …

— Mussolini, 1941

Just so everyone can be clear about what a fascist actually is.

And too many RINOs still support DeSantis as it is (who the man himself has not disavowed), which makes the notion of a 2024 run suspect. Please avert being divisive and just stick to the facts.

If DeSantis was a real RINO, Schmidt would not attack him. Schmidt would stay silent, in the same way Trump stayed silent on the debt ceiling calamity negotiated by Trump's hand picked RINO Speaker, Kevin McCarthy.

It is Trump who is the RINO and it becomes clearer every day.

“...who the man himself has not disavowed”

WUT?

Lemme get this straight. So if some whackadoodle “supports Desantis” Desantis must make a public repudiation of such support? Like what, reading a list of names of repudiated supporters?

Get a life. Have some respect for liberty and the electorate’s right of self-expression and freedoms of speech and choice. Stop playing with mental imagery. It’s a sign of mental illness you know. Yes, social media and the MSM has been proven to drive people clinically insane. I believe it was reported as a 100% correlation among women.

"Is there a legitimate reason to bring Trump into this thread, when it’s not about him?"

Pointless exercise. When you look at that handle's posting history, there is an agenda. He/she is in the same category as the Ukraine spammers as far as I'm concerned.
