Tiedrich Rant: Ron DeSantis is a twenty-megaton shitshow. why the fuck were we so afraid of this guy





Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/ron-desantis-is-a-twenty-megaton

hey, remember when we were all terrified by the idea of a Ron DeSantis candidacy?

he’s super competent, we were told. he’s going to be a lot worse than Trump, they said, because he’s smarter and he won’t be a lazy fuck-up. he’s going to be our worst fascist nightmare.

it was a pretty compelling story and we all bought it.

but now that we’ve gotten to see DeSantis on the campaign trail, holy shit — what the fuck were we so afraid of?

It gets better - lots of ridicule for Ron DeSantis. Also several videos.
Classic Tiedrich.

If Trump, for any number of reasons, can not run, DeSantis will probably fill the spot. Republicans elected Trump to office, then they will send anyone to represent them. Until someone sticks a fork in DeSantis, he is not done.

Based on who the media has been pushing lately, I think Tim Scott may be their chosen one to replace DeSantis.

Despite his repulsive personality, I'm still concerned. He can probably learn how to fake human emotions in 5 years.

Republicans are horrible people and American Voters can be gullible fools.

to look somewhat more presentable than TFG while being just as inept and crazy.

While he stayed in Florida and picked fights with everything that made that state bearable, he was a threat. Once he started to gallivant around the country and people saw what a mushmouthed, shit for brains, unpleasant, arrogant little twerp he is, go figure, they weren't impressed. They already had one raging asshole in the party, they didn't need v.2.0.

Ironically, the language of our constitution transcends the motives of the men interpreting it. Selfish ends don't have the buoyancy of altruistic motives.

Yet moneyed motives find a catalyst in our constitution.

WE really need to pay attention and act. They will crumble in our wake, but they are invasive, choking weeds that thrive in our neglect and complacency.

We let others absorb the poison.

that will gladly assume the role of dick-tater. Cotton, Kemp, Youngkin to name a few. I don't care if they've said no already. With DeSatan going down in flames and Fat Nixon either behind bars or dead from drowning in fast food special sauce, I am fearful of someone like those fucks to jump from behind the curtain guns blazing to save the day.
