I didn't vote for Trump in 2016, I went off the board for Gary Johnson. I voted begrudgingly for Trump in 2020. I believe large amounts of votes were manufactured in urban areas of key swing states (not a new phenomenon, the Democrat machine is quite good at it). That said, as a Floridian, I'll take DeSantis any day of the week and twice on Sunday. He's got the right amount of Trumpy fight to him but backed with a brain and a knack for policy and knows how to beat the press in a way that doesn't look petty or narcissistic.

A regular lunch buddy and fellow historian was/is and will surely remain a diehard Trumpian, which I less-and-less gently ridiculed in the run-up to his eventual election. I also predicted he would win the election, despite the bleating press pointing fingers at Mrs. Mena -- much to his delight.

When he eventually asked what I thought Trump's political purpose would be, after events played out as I had predicted, I invoked Nero playing his violin as Rome burned.

He didn't like the analogy, but as previous (and numerous times prior) his head was turned when said prognostications played out seemingly as if scripted. Despite this, he remains a devoted Trumpian -- and has submitted to each and every jab without question.

He also struggled to wrap his "Rhodes scholar" mind (yes, really) around the idea that the Clinton and Obama terms were little more than a linear continuation of pre-approved candidates, all of who owed their education and political careers -- and swore fealty to -- the Company.

For what it's worth, my instincts on the Biden regime are equally dire : he will not see the end of his term, thereby ushering in the even-scarier proposition of Harris in the oval office. All of which will unfold as the overarching financial tactics of '29 are brought to bear yet again.

Personally, the wife and I relocated to her ancestral family farm back in 2001, in the immediate aftermath of you-know-what. Our local food net will keep us healthy as the urban centers are brought to heel with massive economic disruption and failing supply chains.

The only real question is whether or not the pitchforks and torches will be enough to get the job done this time 'round, in the face of media-moderated intellectual capture (programming) and technologies (directed energy, nano-tech, etc.) created *precisely* to enable large-scale crowd control in the glorious new Global Panopticon state.

Even if you love Trump, he was not a great communicator, not a great leader in the sense of the word. On the other hand, De Santis is--he even seems to be better! My concern is that he is not who he says he is and I would not put it past the powers that be to trick us into this. He slides in so well, doesn't he? And it would certainly look like "win" for all of us fighters. If he really wants to prove his worth, he needs to announce what this man in the video did.

Trump fully supported the bug nonsense and so is a tool of the deep state and in on the plan. He's an authoritarian and served his purpose, which was to divide those that actually believed in the tenets of the Constitution.

Count me in on preferring DeSantis over Trump. Nobody is perfect, but DeSantis is willing to admit it when he makes mistakes, like the short closure in Florida in March of 2020. Trump is never willing to say, "Mea Culpa" and just doubles down.

Dr. Shankara Chetty makes so much sense. Thanks for that!

I have become intrigued by how much the soyboys with TDS sound like the QAnon crowd. Both are obsessed with Orange Man. I see Trump as a distraction I wish we could all move beyond. Ignorant or otherwise.

Pretty much. I'm finding that many people who supported him are deeply unhappy with his uncritical acceptance of the vax regime. For those of us who might need a brief humor break in the midst of all this mandated madness, please allow me to recommend the singer (& satirist) Lena Belle: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fascism (a Christmas Carol) @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4G-19QB1Us&t=86s and I’m Dreaming of a Dead Christmas (Brandon’s Sweet Christmas Message) @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JOaUpUkD5w Warning: NOT for the humor-impaired. But then those folks almost certainly do not read Good Citizen.

I was/am Never Hillary. I saw Trump as our best hope; now Desantis fills that role. He recognised early on & has successfully stood up to "the Regime." Worst case is another Trojan Horse.
