What do you think, @Kantiberl ? Do we have a clue towards that enduring, eternal American mystery? Or nah?

Did you read the article or watch the video? Is this the news you guys consume? Dear lord, no wonder you're so angry. This is the same vitriolic cadence used by Trump and his ilk.

"From there the ad takes a hard turn, with a deep house beat and images that work very hard to depict Ron DeSantis as the country’s most-based, faggot-hating, alpha male."

Why did the writer use "faggot-hating" here? Seems to me he's just trying to incite even more rage and confuse you as to where that anger is coming from.

The fuck? This writer needs to be better and stop taking notes from Trumps playbook. How is this any different than Trump saying "deranged Jack Smith" or "sleepy Joe Biden"?

Yes, you're right, DeSantis is fascist. Fuck DeSantis and fuck Trump. But also fuck whatever insidious shithead who wrote that article for doing nothing but adding to the pool of hate.

Keep in mind that DeSantis win reelection in Florida in a landslide. It was a blowout. So don't think this is an anomaly, that his rhetoric is extreme for the republican party; it's not. He's the smarter version of Trump, and that makes him a fuck of a lot more dangerous.
