I'm still not 100 percent convinced that Trump is “much more dangerous” than DeSantis. Both are morally bankrupt – but while one is half crazy, the other is highly cunning.
Trump and DeSantis are both domineering bullies. Trump is driven by self-interest. DeSantis is driven by self-interest and self-righteousness. He wants and knows how to use the law to force his own ideology on the country.
DeSantis is just as ruthless as Trump, as his ugly rhetoric and readiness to lie about his opponents demonstrates. He is just as cruel as Trump – look at how he shipped migrants to Martha's Vineyard.
DeSantis is also just as big a hypocrite as Trump, shown by the way he accuses others of trying to indoctrinate children - as he takes steps to legally control what kids from can see, hear, and read from kindergarten through college.
Consider what it says about DeSantis that he used young black children as props to hold up anti-CRT signs when he signed the bill they couldn't possibly have understood - a bill that is having a chilling effect on teaching truthful black history.
Trump and DeSantis - put their lust for power on a scale, along with their lack of respect for democratic norms, and DeSantis 's authoritarianism may weigh even heavier than Trump's.
DeSantis is even better than Trump at fanning the culture wars. He knows how to frame some issues in ways that appeal to voters beyond the MAGA base.
Summing up, yes Trump is crazy but that means maybe a few people will perhaps at least try to rein him in – although not very likely to succeed. In contrast, DeSantis disciples will regard him as completely competent and admirable as he further breaks apart the guard rails of our democracy.
