It may not be well known, but a large part of the teens-30 year olds get a majority of their news and world view, off of 20-30 second social media bits...

So the desantis campaign thought they could some how leverage themselves into being supported by them, by edgy, social media

In several cases, team desantis and desantis himself, lied and mis-represented they didn't create stuff, when they were the actual source of the media, because they used 3rd party accounts to leak them.

You know, the "plausible deniability" thing...

Yet, somehow you're suppose to trust desantis as president?

Two be fair, Trump has an army of memesters. We're just better at it.

Nope.
Taking on the Trump Train did him in. He never had a chance.

He would have been better served by continuing to govern Florida well and ignore the siren song of the big money elites.

By not doing so, he may have permanently damaged his brand.

No, DeSantis was a shit candidate and that extends to his shit campaign choices. The problem wasn’t social media it was the man himself.

according to two former aides

I'm going to guess Steve Cortes was one former aide.

The main problem with the DeSantis campaign was the candidate.

I haven’t trusted him since the day he said he wasn’t going to run for president, and then did it anyway.

Nope, it wasn’t the memes. Being a subordinate for Bush family war mongering deep state is the reason. Please clap.

The bizarre anti-Trump ad that kicked off attacking him for saying he would protect LGBTQ Americans which depicts Ron as a swamp dwelling creature kinda set the tone of FAIL.

I know that multiple prominent podcasters who were otherwise neutral or even supported DeSantis drew the line when his team posted faked pictures, such as the one with Trump and Fauchi hugging, and would not admit they weren’t real.
