DeSantis could be worse than Trump.

Just saying that this guy could be worse than Trump. He could rule our country for over 40 years. He has not denounced Putin for Ukraine. I think he wants to be a Putin and the billionaires who now seem to back him would be running the country just like Russia. https://www.alternet.org/2022/05/ron-desantis-bankrolled-extraordinary-billionaires/

1. Yes he can focused, stay on task, and is intelligent and determined.

He is quite dangerous.

2. Like there's any question about that?

3. Far smarter, more sneaky and ruthless

A new improved Mussolini

4. He is period...

Fat Nixon surprised everybody by showing there is a way for an authoritarian to the top. Always my biggest fear, the next one, this guy or a Hawkley or a Cottontail or a Noem, is gonna know what he/she 's doing.

5. He is very, very calculating.

DeSatan knows the plays to make to stop opposition in its tracks well before they have a chance to do anything. He is Governor, Congress and Supreme Court in one. His grip in Florida IS that tight. Just think about how that will scale to U.S.

7. +1. Florida is practically a dictatorship

6. I believe our American oligarchs look to Russia as a model for the kleptocracy they want.

And they have so much power already, I fear their dream will come true.

DeSantis is their puppet of choice.

8. Could be?

He's much worse than trump...we were lucky, trump's appearance gave some clues to his derangement, this guy is a racist, Zeno phobic, homophobic, misogynistic, narcissist (where have I seen that description before) but this guy looks somewhat normal. He already has the legislature doing anything and everything he asks, the courts are fighting him but he just rolls over anything that gets in his way.
The best we can hope for is that he and trump end up at each other's throats...and even then, I'd put my money on Desantis.

9. I do not agree, Desantis is a moron, he's a dork, who will be exposed in a presidential race.

Trump is a one of a lifetime freak accident that cannot be repeated. People like Desantis will try and it will fail badly.
