DeSantis is bad news. But if he is unable to tone it down, and approaches America with the same anger as usual, which he thinks conveys strength, but really is just trying to out bully Trump, pump up his tough guy “own the libs at all costs” persona, I doubt that’s a winning strategy for the presidency. At least not a unifying message. He’s more divisive than Trump, IMO.

If Covid-19 were capable of feeling emotion, it’d likely be delighted by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' latest public health moves.

To get votes:
“DeSantis’ far-right line on Covid — including
the appointment of a radical state surgeon general who’s been derided as a “Covid crank,” his
condemnations of Dr. Anthony Fauci, his campaigns against
educators and
businesses, his
rejection of CDC recommendations for protecting children, etc. — has made him a hero to much of the right. Indeed, while Donald Trump is afraid to
even use the word “vaccine” around his own followers, Florida’s far-right governor has positioned himself well to the right of the former president.
The public health toll will be indefensible, but DeSantis’ national ambitions are likely to get a boost — and that’s a tradeoff the Republican is pleased to embrace.”
