Sorry, but there is no comparison.
DeSantis supporters will listen to logical critiques of his policies and positions.
DeSantis supporters do not accept the guilt by association, innuendo and rumor campaign created by Trump cultists (different from Trump supporters) which is nothing more than a juvenile effort to paint DeSantis as anything other than a solid conservative in his actions.
You would think that Trump cultists would not do to DeSantis what the left has tried to do to Trump. But the left who does this is in their own cult, so it makes sense.
No they don’t. It is idiotic to compare people’s support for any candidate as a cult.
You argument is lost when you do that.
People know that Trump can only run one more time. After that, someone else fills that slot.
