to "couch" the GOP crazy agenda into even more crazy stuff to make the actual policies more palatable and less nuts to independants (and thrill the right wing base to own the Libs)?
I posted this earlier (Florida bill, put forward by some elected Republican other than DeSantis, would require bloggers who write about governor to register with the state):

Will this become actual policy or will it just be noise obscuring the GOP agenda of semi-fascism? I wait to see.

There was a time when Michelle Backman was seen as too nuts and I think encouraged not to run for the GOP again. Instead of avoiding the obviously morally if not otherwise crazy these days, they flood the airways with it at every level. Trump taught them there was an appetite for that. Growing the crazy instead of slowing it is the obvious plan.

Is this a way to make Trump more palatable for the 2024 GQP primary?

The Florida bill that would require bloggers who write about governor to register with the state was put forward by some lesser politician. Maybe since DeSantis' pattern was figured out and talked about in the main stream media, he is using surrogates to be the wildly fascist ones. Still work to couch his policies.
