23. But outlasting DeSantis isn't a very good option.

He's young enough to be around, doing damage, for a few decades. And I, too, wish there were some really visible and strong resistance happening in Florida. Are they just giving up without even trying? Or hoping he'll go away, or change? WHERE'S THE OPPOSITION???

He needs to be rendered damaged goods. SERIOUSLY and irretrievably damaged goods. And as soon as possible. He's got too much ambition and a shitload of fawning followers who want to hitch their wagon to a star because of how they think it'll make THEM look, plus a ridiculously anemic press. He won't fade away quietly, unfortunately.
