redshirt posted:Great article, and it does show how much of an idiot DeSantis is, BUT, running against Trump as a Republican has to be existentially difficult. Would you trust the "seasoned pros" to know how to do it? Does anyone know how to do it? He's such a unique phenomena I don't think there's an established plan you could follow. They all miss why chuds love trump. It's because he's grimy as poo poo and owns it. Big ron making his weird O face flapping his arms with his kids is exactly why he lost.

I don’t think there’s a great path but at the same time refusing to say anything bad about him and trying to suck up while he freely trashes you probably doesn’t help.

Desantis is the dude who stalks a woman and then nails her cat to the door of her class room before he shoots it up and talks about how great gilded age race science was.

On paper Desantis should be a home run. The policies he's implemented in Florida make trump look like a softie. It just goes to show that it was never about policy at all just a total cult of personality.

It just goes to show that it was never about policy at all just a total cult of personality. The inherent problem with their policy rhetoric is that if you actually implement it, it's loving awful for everyone. It's the same problem that they had with abortion. They chased that carrot for decades, but no one other than the diehards ever wanted to actually catch it.

It's Trump's party, which means nobody other than him has a shot at the presidency while he's still alive.

If your campaign is centered around how much like Trump you are and how TRUMP DID NOTHING WRONG, then there’s really no point in supporting you over the mango Mussolini himself.

This is the right take. If you're too scared to attack someone directly because his cult of personality controls your electorate, this should lead you to two outcomes. Either you don't run at all because your voters aren't deciding based on policies. Or you attack and belittle him relentlessly to chip away at his support.

Oh also they spent a shitload of money (millions) on these new electric buses, bought them from a Chinese coachbuilder, and the ones that they felt comfortable putting on the street overheated their batteries within a couple hours because the route debuted in the middle of the summer. The route is now serviced by regular rear end buses driving in the middle of the road, and it has never recovered from the businesses that had to close to build that poo poo. AT&T got told they couldn't admin Sandia anymore after they got in trouble back in the day, a consortium of educational institutions now run Sandia because Lockheed got in trouble and can't run it anymore so now MIT is loving with people's PTO and poo poo. Who even knows what goes on in chudland and the reservations, that's a lot of empty land and a lot of farmers and poo poo. Every state is corrupt, it's just that the corruption has a unique flavor.

Reading a WaPo article about the Iowa election and this line caught my eye:quote:Trump’s ascent in national politics in 2016 had taken root in places like Chickasaw County, where the electorate had once supported Barack Obama with 60 percent of the vote. Trump flipped the largely rural county of 12,000 people, and by 2020 his support grew to 65 percent — cementing one of the biggest county-level political swings in the nation over the last decade. This is exactly what happened in my tiny rural town - big win for Obama in 2008, much smaller win in 2012, and then Trump happens in 2016, and he wins with remarkably similar numbers to Obama's 2008 win. Which means many of the same people who voted for Obama in 2008 voted for Trump in 2016, and I have a hard time understanding that from a logical perspective. But when looked at more emotionally I suppose, these folks are voting for the same thing I guess: Change. BUT! They never fell into a cult of personality with Obama, like they have with Trump. So there's more to it.
