Of course the corporate oligarchy is anti-populist. I’m still suspicious of DeSantis because he seems to be showboating his “populism” by grabbing some low hanging fruit in the culture wars, as though opposing Communist indoctrination in the classroom and shoving a few illegals on buses to New York is difficult. What’s his position on “free” trade with China? How does he propose dealing with our open border?

Exactly, DeSantis is still avoiding many of the big issues he would face as President, such as his specific foreign policy and I’ve yet to hear him say he will build the wall and do everything he can to stop the influx of illegals. Being socially conservative is fine, but there’s many major issues outside of that which DeSantis has yet to clarify his positions on.
His position on “free” trade is, of course I’ll vote for TPP and tariffs are not conservative...So, the same as all the other Repukes. People take it for granted that Trump didn’t join the Paris accords. I say this with complete confidence. He’s the only one who would have kept the country out of that deal. DeSantis is nothing like Trump. He’s just fooled enough “strong conservatives” that he gets a boost from the “elites” because that’s all they have in 2024 to damage Trump. If DeSantis were the type of Trumpesque figure that all his supporters here are suggesting he is he would have told them to pound sand. The very fact that he’s entertaining this shows the type of person he is and the type of President he’d be.
