Feeling empowered after his boost from Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp, a man of notoriously intemperate disposition, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis begins the process to align himself with the neocon establishment and labeling Donald Trump supporters as “listless vessels” devoid of principle, who simply “follow whatever comes down the pike from Truth Social every morning.”
Appearing with a young millennial wearing a beaver tail on his head, namely Will Witt from the Florida Standard, Ron DeSantis outlines his opinion that the MAGA movement is only driven by the support of President Donald Trump, a person who has exhausted his usefulness in awakening the electorate. As a result, the high-minded superior intellects of the Republican Party now need to step in, reestablish the core values of the conservative movement, and put the squirming MAGA children in their play pens.
You can watch the entire interview below; I’m just prompting it to the part that best highlights the sanctimonious arrogance of a dim-witted candidate who really doesn’t carry his own policies, only those of the managers and branding consultants that create his talking points. WATCH:
What the insufferable DeSantis and his branding/image consultants pretend not to know, is that President Trump’s America First policies are the driving force behind the MAGA movement. Those policies consist of three main attributes that are non-existent in any other candidate:
Immigration. The construct of a southern border wall, denial of illegal entry and a return to immigration border controls that block illegal aliens.
Economics. The implementation of MAGAnomics that puts incentives behind Made In America. Baseline tariffs on all imports. The removal of the 70-year-old one-way Marshal plan for tariffs on USA products into the EU. Reciprocal tariffs against all nations who participate in bilateral Free Trade Agreements, and a return to America first manufacturing independence.
Foreign Policy. The withdrawal of USA interventionist foreign policy. The respect of national borders and national policies that are the outcome of the independent will of people within sovereign nations. The primary responsibility of NATO funding, support and activity, to the member states of the European Union. The use of USA economic strength as a national security weapon.
Those three pillars form the baseline of the America First policy that President Trump represents. No other candidate comes even close to the policies therein. President Trump represents the vessel we are using to force the professional political class to accept these policy priorities. MAGA is a set of policies uniquely attributed to President Trump, because only Trump willingly represents those policies.
The GOPe know this; so too does Ron DeSantis and his handlers. Every candidate in the Republican field understands this set of policies, and they have been paid by the multinational donors to pretend they do not know. Their collective GOPe mission is to destroy the policy platform; therefore, they must attack the core of the Trump supporters by pretending not to know.
He’s toast.
Ron’s campaign has been terrible. It’s such a disappointment.
Take away MAGA supporters and all Rob has left are Low-T voters.
Stupid strategy.
Yep, a statement out of desperation that nationally is the final nail in his political coffin.
The keywords LOL.
DeSqnchez needs to go back to Florida and smash fags
He’s good at that
I wouldn’t say that about Trump/MAGA supporters in general. But Sundance and those who read his propaganda definitely fits that description...and Sundance is concerned about “temperament and disposition”? Spare us.
Of course, all of this is moot if the Democrat/Communists "win" again; in which case they will have total control of elections for the foreseeable future.
LOL! The same people who for the past eight months have called DeSantis a RINO, and establishment stooge controlled by Ryan and Bush, and have said they would not vote for him under any circumstance, now say that “He’s really crossed the line here!” with his listless vessel comment.
I don’t hang out on Truth Social.
I get pinged over there, but I get so many pings, I don’t
generally view the offering unless it’s clearly something
worth looking at.
Much of it I’ve already heard about coming here.
Putting people down who are your potential base at some
point, seems like a very bad tactic to me.
Boost from kemp. What boost?
Obviously DeSantis and his handlers have no idea what the people of Georgia think of kemp.
Have to agree with that. He has nobody to blame but himself, either. He blew up his only (potential) strength - he would carry on Trump’s policies but without all of the drama. Well...his MO since starting the campaign has been that the Trump policies and the Trump years weren’t actually that good - well if that’s the case, all of the mess we are in isn’t actually Biden’s / Democrats’ fault? It was actually Trump/Republicans? Undermines the only potential strength he would have had in the primary, and then undermines the narrative as to why Biden should be removed. Lose/lose all around.
Hey Ron, your mask is slipping...
He had a meeting with Kemp and this language is just typical Sundance garbage.
Obviously DeSantis and his handlers have no idea what the people of Georgia think of kemp.
Re-elected by a healthy margin - and considerably more than in his first election.
“But Sundance and those who read his propaganda definitely fits that description..”
Rush Limbaugh use to quote Sundance on his show. How exactly does that fit your crap narrative?
a winning strategy
you are stupid
vote for me
