Struggling in the polls, Ron DeSantis is leaning in to homophobia.

His base is also childish and uneducated, and this sort of drivel filled with macho man imagery, memes, 4chan posts, and tiktok music appeals to children.
The world would be better if he gave up politics and just devoted himself to shitposting. The ad was unironically hilarious, just not for the reasons they probably expected.
The last time a right-wing bigot devoted himself to shitposting, he bought Twitter. I don’t think we need a repeat of that debacle.
Let’s give him 4chan. If Meatball Ron can make 4chan more racist than it already is, I’d be genuinely impressed.
Any deadweight who shrugs all of this off as bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe WhY bOtHeR VoTiNg is just as much of a social parasite as the goddamned mouthbreathers who vote for this type of creature.
If they ever bother to pause from fondling their purity and superiority then lovingly sniffing their fingers, if they would stop to actually look, they would find that there is a lot of blood on those hands.deleted by creator
Whatever your philosophical view, the Republican party is objectively comic book villain terrible. Desantis is legitimately signing laws that make Florida look more like a Taliban run state by the day and his bigot fans are cheering him on.
If he’s elected, I guess I’m headed out of the USA for good.
Yep, my family and I are getting the boogie bag ready at this point.
Shows what a mindless Nazi creep the guy is. Shame on anyone that finds this ad acceptable.
How bad do you have to want it to hate it this much.

There are no good politicians, there are only ones that are not as bad as the worst
DeSantis is a framing device. He’s the $299/month super-hyper unlimited data cellular plan, or the full leather and burlwood interior on a Mitsubishi Mirage.
Nobody is expected to actually select him. His purpose is to make Mike Pence look balanced and in a constrcutive relationship with his sexuality by comparison.
And, TBH, I can see Pence as the last man standing if the Trump campaign disintegrates (i.e. via conviction) I’m sure pre-2016 Republican Machine people desperatrly want someone far less of a loose cannon, he has name recognition, and they might be able to rehab his image as “he did try to salvage the Republic” if they start seeking a post-Trump message.
He’s the Hillary Clinton of the Republican Party. Completely unlikeable and unelectable but oddly has a chance at getting nominated.

They said that about Trump too

Nothing is out of the realm of possibility at this point. As bad as you think it might get, it will get infinitely worse unless we actively fight back.
This makes sense and I hate it
When all else fails to woo the republicanss, try good ole homophobia &/ transphobia. They’re the acceptable faces of bigotry and imply acceptance for the other kinds of bigotry that cannot be voiced aloud w/o consequences.
I don’t think anyone is surprised.
I think we’re more shocked than surprised by this new low.
