How do people see shit like this and then think he is a good choice for president???
Because they are bullies at heart and the look at the current and past administrations and think they don't bully people enough so when someone offers to be a bully, and represent their interests in a violent manner, they get a hard-on.
I was raised to believe that we're all decent people at heart but to be honest the last 10 years have changed my mind about that. I think some people are just bad eggs now. I'm not proposing to do anything about it but it's just depressing to realize that some people suck beyond the reach of society.
Great comment, and I share a lot of that sentiment. What always confounded me was what portion of these people are textbook evil (eg, psychopathic, greedy/selfish, etc.) versus gullible and ignorant. That is, what percent if we had enough time and educated them enough could we reach? I say this as someone who grew up in a rural Appalachia republican household. My family voted for Bush. My parents marched in pro-life rallies. But fortunately thanks to a couple different factors, my entire family pivoted 180 to become progressive Dems. So they’re out there…
Regardless I don’t believe it’s worth the time to try changing them. I think efforts are better utilized in appealing to the newcomers of politics and fence sitters who haven’t been fully sucker into the right-wing echochamber.
I don’t like DeSantis either but if you read the article, the question itself was loaded. I mean the headlines are a slippery slope argument
“Depending on the circumstances, I would be open to using whatever means available based on our goals and the guidance provided by advisors, including military leadership.”
Headline: “Politician doesn’t rule out using nuclear weapons against Canada!!!”
I don’t think the Governor of any state has the legal power to wage war.
He’s running for president
That’s… that’s just great Ron. Hey, ya figure they might shoot back? With their army and navy that they definitely have? Dumb motherfucker.
I’m starting to think we should shoot missiles at Ron DeSantis

This is the guy who was the JAG at Gitmo during the torture debacle, right? Just checking.
He is the antithesis of ethics.
And this should be the only thing anyone needs to dislike him.
