[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DeSantis has a big problem that he has moved far too right into crazyland in order to gain national attention. No one other than our resident conservative bigoted keyboard warrior believes the policies and rhetoric he is pushing isn’t anti-LGTBQ. Furthermore it’s viewed as cruel by moderates and clownish in the face of real national issues. He’s seen as captain COVid with a shockingly unnecessary death toll. His disastrous covid actually helped keep Newsom in CA in office. We don’t want to be like Florida brought Dems out in record numbers. His treatment of the AA community is so appalling from not getting early vaccines into AA areas to removing representation, he’s a few steps away from KKK territory. Let’s not forget how rude and dismissive he’s been of Parkland victims, being pro school shooting always wins suburban women. He’ll do great in the Republican primaries with the white supremists, alt right radio and social media crowd and boomers who live in the villages. This is not enough to win a national election and maybe not enough to even win the primary.

This is the left's take, and I think it will alienate voters. DeSantis's effort to ban sex education in K-3 was widely supported by voters.  The left had to dub the bill "dont say gay" in order to create a strawman to fight, bc DeSantis was playing the middle far too well.  https://www.wsj.com/articles/dont-say-gay-is-popular-you-dont-say-ron-desantis-florida-law-elementary-school-11648849131.  You can say it limigs expression of gay people, but it equally limits expression of straight people. You face an uphill battle convincing voters that adults should be able to discuss their gender preferences, sexual preferences, etc in the kindergarten classroom.

DeSantis's approach to covid is also considered a plus by many. He has a lot of old people in his state, who are more vulnerable. So he focused on them and not keeping school children at home. This makes him.... a breath of fresh air to many.  Not "far too right into crazyland."  Same with the criticism that he didnt give black people early access to vaccines- this is a positive to people who think race should not be a factor that is considered in health care matters. Equal access is valued by most people, not race based access.

He also sounds like a sensible person when he talks. Unlike Trump, he doesnt come off as a narcissistic weirdo.
