Today's Tiedrich rant: good fucking riddance to Ron Fucking DeSantis



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/good-fucking-riddance-to-ron-fucking

it’s over. Ron DeSantis has packed it in and abandoned his bid to be president. the man who named his campaign PAC “Never Back Down” has backed all the way down and now slinks dejectedly back to the governor’s residence down in America’s dangly bit. to say that Ron shit the bed as a candidate would be an understatement — DeSantis broke new ground in bedcrappery. the guy was a fucking disaster. so as the smoke clears, one obvious question remains:

what were we so afraid of?

a year ago, we were all quaking in our boots with our hair on fire. Ron DeSantis is running. holy fucking shit! he’s going to huff and puff and blow our house down! the beltway press gleefully joined in, telling us all to be very fucking afraid.

Screenshot:


he’s super competent, we were told. he’s going to be a lot worse than Trump, they said, because he’s smarter and he won’t be a lazy fuck-up. he’s going to be our worst fascist nightmare.

yeah, no.

Great rant here - so many reminders why Ron DeSantis was a terrible candidate. So many memes and silly GIFs too.
