Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ron DeSantis? The GOP LOVES cartoon villains. [View all]
If Cruella de Vil, the evil, dog-fur-coat-craving heiress in the novel “The Hundred and One Dalmatians,” hadn’t been featured in a Disney movie, she’d likely be a hero to present-day Republicans.
They seem to have a thing for villains. The two front-runners for the GOP presidential nomination are Donald Trump – an election-denying, insult-hurling and thoroughly indicted former president – and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – a bully whose primary targets include teachers, LGBTQ youth and, as he clearly demonstrated late last week by signing a draconian six-week abortion ban, women who want control over their own bodies.
But alas, Cruella can’t join the fold of favored fiends. The Disney connection dooms her. That company, according to DeSantis and other Republicans, is “woke.” And woke, you see, is evil.
It's confusing, but in today's GOP, 'bad' is 'good'
I can already hear your confusion. Aren’t I premising this column on the idea that Republicans are embracing villains? And if so, shouldn’t evil actually be good?
