Question: If the Deep State “manipulated, controlled, organized and weaponized the systems of our government are that deliver their illusion of choice,” then why was the DeSantis/Gillem race so close, with only a 0.18% (33,683 vote) margin of victory for DeSantis?
It’s called controlled opposition. It means that, regardless of who wins, the Uniparty has someone in power that they can control. It doesn’t mean that DeSantis and Gillum are equal in the eyes of the voters, or that one isn’t better for the state than the other. But from the Uniparty point of view, they’re both equal. And that means, whether the election was a narrow win for DeSantis, a narrow win by Gillum, or a blow-out by either one, they know they have someone they can control.
For the Uniparty, the prize is the federal government. From their point of view, allowing DeSantis to govern Florida as a conservative is an investment in the future - an investment in someone who they hope to use to re-capture the base. That’s how controlled opposition works.
Gillem would have been a disaster for the state and would likely have taken down the Deep State with him when the drug addict will have collapsed under the stress of the multiple crises that he would have been facing.
I don't think Floridians would have been as compliant as many in the blue states might have been, but that's just me.
