We can predict this: As the 2024 election draws closer, you will see the media pumping up DeSantis for all it is worth. (NOTE: These points below may or may not be true as they are only examples of what they will say, but it is how CNN and the NYT will push DeSantis.)

They will talk about how he is a better choice.

He is more grounded in reality.

He can work with both sides of the aisle.

He is more electable.

He is younger.

He is more dynamic.

Etc. etc. etc.

They will do this, and make DeSantis look very attractive, moderate, appealing to a wide range of people, will be a good presidential candidate, etc.

And DeSantis would be a very good candidate indeed. (None of this sentiment is anti-DeSantis, wish the same could be said for the sentiments against Trump)

But when the election year rolls around, and should DeSantis get the nomination, the media will do a 180.

They will turn on him. He will be portrayed as a dictator. A tyrant. Uncaring of people’s health with his approach to COVID. Against women’s rights. Racist. Homophobic. He will be attacked for his stances against Leftist pedophile groomers like Disney.

Viewers will not remember the reasonable portrait the Media painted of DeSantis, the warm assessment of him that they put forth for viewers.

Instead, DeSantis will be portrayed as evil incarnate. And the Left will be gleeful at their ability and success at sowing discord and division in The Party of Stupid. Election cycle after election cycle, they do this, yet dimwits on our side fail to see exactly what they are doing, play along and assist them in this charade, becoming “Assistant Democrats”.

Mark my words if this comes to pass.

And yet we have people on this forum who want to play right into their hands.

Trump isn’t a perfect candidate in any way; he made plenty of mistakes and poor choices, which would be somewhat expected from a man whose first foray into politics was a run for the Presidency of the United States.

Neither is DeSantis a perfect candidate.

But there exists an enormous reservoir of support for Donald Trump amongst conservative voters, as there should, for a man unfairly robbed of what should have been a second term.

Trump was no George H.W. Bush who lost his second term through his “No New Taxes” pledge, Trump’s second term was stolen from him, and not just stolen by election fraud as it conclusively was, but by a concerted effort to deny him that via character assassination and outright lies in coordination with illegal operations by government agencies and outright collaboration with the media, all in an effort to slander him and tie him down like Gulliver at best, or get him removed from office via unjustified impeachment at worst.

But even with all this, in spite of all this, Trump succeeded in key areas that enhanced our lives and our national security.

Furthermore, only an imbecile would look at this concerted effort to persecute Trump over a year and a half after he left office in order to prevent him from running again, and not recognize those actions by the people howling for his head as those of a foe that is frightened by the prospect of facing a feared and hated enemy again. They hate him and fear him, because he is not one of them, and is not riding the “Gravy Train” with them. If people like that are enemies of us and the country we love (and they indisputably are) then Trump is our ally and deserves our support.

And we see that sentiment on this thread.

Donald Trump deserves that second chance, and he should get it. Let’s not be “The Party Of Stupid” and play right into the hands of those who wish to control and tyrannize us.
