    I'm not sure if the Trump Republicans think everybody else has the cootie or is part of a leper colony. I'm going with the prior.

    LOL!

    This is similar to what Miller has written about the Lake campaign. Lake could and should have won that race. But she went so far out to crazy town she managed to lose 8% of her own voters in Maricopa county.

    Yet because she and her hangers on exist only in the MAGA media bubble, there is no way to confront what went wrong - indeed she is celebrated for her failures

    During a lot of previous moral panics, they were only recognized as such in hindsight. I'm about 95% certain that we'll look back in 20 years and laugh at how a lot of people thought pedophiles were hiding behind every bush.

    But we need a good name, like "Red Scare" or "Satanic Panic". Maybe "Pederast Perturbation". Hmmm, I'll have to think about that.

    I absolutely positively knew circa 1990 that pre school teachers weren't en masse sexually abusing kiddies. I had precious little company with that, though. God damned Karens and their enablers.

    As I recall, I think that pre-school scare was part of the "Satanic Panic."

    But I might be wrong. Hard to keep these outbreaks of mass hysteria straight.

    Especially the "Cracker" Florida license plate t-shirt the old guy is proudly wearing.
    If DeSantis has lost the Florida "cracker" vote to Biden, he is well and truly screwed for 2024.

    my hometown sent a gay kindy teacher to jail for that based on some wild theories about ritual satanic abuse involving multiple staff members.

    I was hoping that this was a band that played some obscure heavy metal genre.

    So he doesn't deny he is a groomer?

    Can't wait for the governor to be banned from school libraries!

    I still shake my head at the wisdom of hiring Woody Strode and Jack Elam for a film and killing them off in the first ten minutes... I imagine neither of those guys came cheap, even tho they were almost always sidemen or bad guys.

    He doesn't spend time trying to smear other Republicans? He'll be out of the "race" by May.

    Let me see if I have this right:
    • Trump will constantly smear DeSantis
    • If DeSantis retaliates he will alienate Trump's loyal fans
    • Instead, DeSantis will whine about Trump smearing him but not call him out by name
    Yep, he's gone.

    I'll bet the GOP is already planning on some way of expiring Trump soon, and then leading the charge to make him a martyr and saint all the way to the 2024 election.
    [/conspiracy]

    It is true they are hoping he expires soon.
