Perhaps you need to examine your assumptions to understand DeSantis’ unpopularity. Millions will be spent in legal fees because of DeSantis’ precipitous and poorly orchestrated actions against Disney. Rather than having “won” against Disney, by grandstanding, DeSantis furnished Disney with arguments for Disney’s court actions against Florida. One of the strongest is evidence contained in DeSantis’ book that indicated the actions were a reprisal for political speech by Disney. That kind of reprisal is illegal.
Your Trump “quotes” are in accurate & out of context. Apparently many people add up the reversal of Roe v Wade & the return of the power to regulate abortion to the States as much more significant than a 6 week bill for one state that will be tested by legal actions.
DeSantis has not successfully addressed many issues in Florida that have worsened during his term: Under DeSantis, Florida has some of the highest health insurance premiums in the nation. 20% of Floridians lacked health insurance entirely — more than almost any other state and one of the worst states in the nation for child health care access. DeSantis failed to address the state’s unemployment system before the pandemic. When the crisis hit, it was Floridians who paid the price, unable to access earned benefits — or even get their phone calls answered by DeSantis’ bureaucracy.
He is NOT unpopular. Your assumptions are the ones that need to be examined.
Which he won. Disney has mostly backed off.
And he is NOT grandstanding. He is protecting the interests of the people of his state and striking a blow against wokeism.
Thi sis just not true. He has been a massively successful governor whom the people re-elected by 20 points. He has a proven ability to carry blue counties.
Floridians pay less overall for healthcare than most people do. And how is it DeSantis's fault if people don't buy health insurance? Remember, Florida has a much older population than most states. (A lot of people retire there due to the cost of living.) Florida is one of the freest, most prosperous states in the country.
Next, you're going to claim that lockdown Dhimmicraps like Cuomo and Newsom handeld COVID better than DeSantis did, which reveals anyne making that claim as a liberal Democrat, not a conservative.
