      Better than the alternative.

      Desantis may actually be worse. He’s probably got a few more IQ points.

        I don’t buy the he’s a “smart trump” argument. His presidential bid was an obvious mistake that could have never ended any other way. But he did it anyway out of ego and narcissism. He’s not a smart trump, he’s trump without the charisma or timing.

        Desantis doesn’t have the charisma to replace Trump.

        This is one of the few upsides of cults of personality; almost by definition they are not replicable.

          I do wonder what would happen to all the Trumptards if he were to die before the next election. Where would they go? Who would they support?

          I wouldn’t be surprised if they call his death a liberal conspiracy and raid the capitol again.

            Agree. I also think that it’s inevitable that when he dies, leaving aside the fact of his old age and poor health, it will necessarily result in a cataract of deeply stupid conspiracy theories.

            This is the world we live in, unfortunately.

        That’s the problem. We never get anyone to vote for. We’re just voting against Trump and Desantis.

          I voted against Trump last election. This time I’m voting for Biden. He’s done way more than most people ever expected of him, with a razor thin Senate majority too.

      Do we have a real choice?

      I don’t think we do.

      If the choice is between a precariously old octogenarian and a completely unhinged authoritarian octogenarian who doesn’t believe in democracy, I guess I know which way I’ll vote every time.
