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.
Trump is many things but he isn’t a RINO. If he was he wouldn’t have been attacked—they could have “worked” with him.
The way I see it Fascism is a terrible medicine. Your nation is falling apart, all is a mess, there is social unrest—you take the fascist pill. It works, unifies the lands, puts people to work, gives them national identity BUT It has terrible side effects. War, political repression, etc... The worst form was in Nazi Germany. How can you spot a fascist land—they have a single leader—called The leader. These governments do not outlive their leader. (Think Spain under Franco or Argentina under the Perons) Many become democracies! Odds are had Germany won the war, Nazism would have died with Hitler and become a Republic!
Not surprising. Trump was never a conservative.
