    Desantis is a goddamn psychopath dude. Trump is obviously not someone that should have any type of power but Desantis is literally no better. His policies are fucking insane, his personal ideology is fucking insane, the voters he encourages and the culture wars he wages are fucking insane. It’s not “just a job”, it’s the opportunity of power, something he seizes as much as possible. He is absolutely a fucking dictator if he gets the chance.

    He came to my college campus a couple months ago, he kicked off his q and a with a prayer asking god to kill trans people. I’m not even saying that as a euphemism, the motherfucker literally said “and we ask you to stop the prevalence of transgenders by force if you need to” during that opening prayer.

    Fucking insanity.

      prayer asking god to kill trans people

      Is there any journalistic corroboration for that? This sounds like something a political opponent would jump at, yet I can’t find anything similar online.

      What I can point to is Trump literally trying to subvert our democratic processes by overturning the election results.

      So on the one hand, I have proof of an attempt to stay in power, and on the other I have someone with gross policies that seems to play by political rules. I’m much more worried about Trump than DeSantis.
