Joy Reid: DeSantis More Authoritarian Than Trump, Hates Civil Rights”
On MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid melted down once again over Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. Proving how terrified the left is of DeSantis becoming the Republican nominee. According to Reid, DeSantis is a “more functionally authoritarian version of Trump” and would seek a return to a “Pre-civil rights America.”

Leftists, like Joy Reid, think DeSantis is more conservative than Trump, and they fear him.
Yep. The hypocricy is cited in the first two replies in this thread. They are attacking DeSantis from both sides. Claiming he is Trump-lite and even a Bush-establishment republican from one side, and claiming he is just as evil (if not more) than Trump and the sky will be falling again.
These people GET PAID to propagandize. There’s no gun to their head. No threats of a gulag. They’re good little minions.
He is never America First if he is supported by globalists like Club for Growth.
We need MAGA much more than a social conservative to save America. There is only one candidate...PDJT.
Not true. The enemy is behind DeSantis to take out Trump.
Their original narrative last Dec-Jan was to cheerlead DeSantis over Trump reporting fake stats that Trump supporters were flocking to DeSantis. Their ploy was posted here on FR.
They went silent when it was clear that by supporting DeSantis, they were helping Trump.
But DeSantis has not caught major appeal despite his actions against woke Disney.
Now the enemy are starting to pivot to “DeSantis is Dangerous” to see if that makes him more appealing to smart conservatives. The BlackRock media knows they are hated, distrusted and it follows they can’t be seen supporting DeSantis.
DeSantis himself is believed to have skeletons that very few know. One thing is clear is DeSantis will usually get carried off by money streams. A careful study of his history reveals he gets or is pushed on board with issues that have large money behind them. Right now, he appears to be ‘prodded’ by billionaire Anti-Trumpers Paul Singer and Ken Griffin, among others. Jeb Bush recently endorsed him.
He’s also Ivy League, a Yale grad. People in the know view such as a dubious sign of membership in a pipeline of agenda captured recruits.
Here’s a summary of what he’s up against:

That may, in fact, be true. It is unlikely DeSantis will be as pliant about massive FedGov spending as Trump was, even for pet causes, on principle. It is also unlikely that DeSantis is as smitten with celeb worship as Trump is. And finally, DeSantis' temperament is what one could truly call conservative, in the non-political sense of the word, as opposed to Trump's unpredictable, unrestrained outbursts.
