Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why is there even outrage at this point? It's not a secret these people are Nazis. They've barely hidden it. Thankfully, DeSantis has no chance at all.
Don’t get complacent. That was the word about Trump until he won in ‘16.
DeSantis is going against Trump. It's very clear who Republicans like more.
EDIT: So sorry, I have no idea what happened.
I was worried about DeSantis at first, but he's a value brand Trump. He doesn't get people riled up like Trump does. I'm still worried about Trump though. I drink think he could win again but I didn't think he'd win in 2016
DeSantis doesn't get the right riled up, but he is effective in ruining everything intentionally like McConnell. He won't get the Republicsn nomination till Trump dies, but he will probably be the successor.
He's effective at ruining everything in Florida, where he has Reublican supermajorities in the legislature to back him up. I'm not convinced he's actually an effective politician like McConnell.
I don't think the corporate sponsors of the gop will allow DeSantis. Trump was VERY good for business, DeSantis has shown that he is a threat and can't play nice.
There's fortunately a lot more opposition to Trump this time around. Hopefully enough to keep him out of office.
They're trying to present it as if it was shocking, to "subtley" deny what they are, but actually spreading who they really are.
It all falls into their mindset of thinking most people secretly agree with them. They're idiots who think it is some clever ruse to rally support.
