I was pretty neutral regarding DeSantis until this. Now I despise him. The only Republican candidate worthy to be elected is Donald Trump. All the others are not worth a warm bucket of spit, to borrow an old phrase.

DeSantis, Haley, and the rest gambled that the Republican base would walk away from Trump due to his legal problems. So did the oligarch donors who have funded their campaigns. It is likely that the oligarchs and GOP politicians had advanced knowledge of the Democrat lawfare. They badly misjudged the mood of the Republican electorate. The big money is drying up.

I credit conservative anger at the COVID shutdowns and attempts to mandate the vaccines, as well as the Democrats overreacting to January 6th. Additionally, the attempts by Big Tech to shut out rightist dissent backfired, as conservatives abandoned YouTube, Google, Facebook, etc., to alternative blogs, search engines, and podcasts. There is no longer a figure like William Buckley or Rush Limbaugh to keep conservatives within the Overton Window of acceptable opinions.

I was too. I do not support the toleration of democrat election interference even if it were to help whatever candidate I support. It’s UN-American.

I’m removing DeSantis off my tagline.
