Even Bill Maher tried to make DeSantis' "woke" bill sound more moderate than it is, implying that it only applied to schools, and not private business - completely leaving out that the federal court determined parts of the law violated the first amendment.

He's just less chaotic but that's not really a high bar because everybody is less chaotic than Trump

Two Dem strategists are on correcting the record.

If someone wants an echo chamber and to keep their fragile heads in the sand about what our enemies are saying, I guess they can just turn it off. Didn’t that work?

This is supposed to be a "reality-based" community.

The rampant spread of misinformation doesn't help.

...Trump's "charisma".

WTF?

Perhaps by the strange standard of "charisma" which appeals to the MAGAts, apparently involving coming across as an idiot, since brains are unappealing to the red-hatted masses.

DeSantis is as much of a extremist would-be autocrat as Trump, smarter (which isn't saying much), and far less self-destructively crippled by psychological demons. Not more moderate at all, just more self-controlled and dangerous.

Democrat, Trump, and republican nominee in the middle. It's insane but the media is lazy enough to do this.

I'm watching CNN and no they're not; they're saying that he's not as crazy as Trump, and his re-election has given him an edge.

I have found the new more conservative bent of CNN as more obvious in their internet print articles, especially in the article headlines-- much moreso than on their broadcasts...

And yes, I believe there was such an article recently published in my phone app, that attempted to portray DeathSantis as a "more moderate" GOP alternative to Trump...


"Not as crazy as Trump" is not more or less a recommendation. LOL
