This idea that people like Drucker whose explanation for DeSantis is “he fights!TM” for why the base likes him - but who do so without explaining that the “fight!” isn’t ever on serious matters of policy, but simply bigoted resentments towards other Americans they don’t know and don’t like - is a signal he is either a moron or an extremist.
I'm leaning towards moron myself. How can you spend 80% of a podcast and hand-wave away Kemp/Sununu (Kemp faced an opponent being bolstered by A-List celebs and the best GOTV Commissariat in the nation) w/ "primary voters don't consider wins and losses?" He came on to fluff DeSantis.
I'd at least like an explicit mea culpa from these guys before they get readmitted to polite society. Doesn't have to be self flagellation but it does need to be sincere.
💯, DeSantis is another minoritarian authoritarian and there's a subset of "independent thinkers" carrying his water.
Minoritarian authoritarian is simply brilliant.
