The name of this super PAC? The deliciously ironic “Never Back Down.”

    It’s impressive how quickly this dude’s campaign crashed and burned. Fuck em.

      So many rich people’s money just to crash and burn away on such bizarre politicians.

      Hopefully, the lesson they learned is to not support a closeted fascist in a democracy.

      Hopefully…

        The 2025 plan doesn’t make me hopeful that this is the end of fascists in our politics. It’s all of the Republican candidates, and RFK jr

        His campaign is pretty much funded by one guy, who’s lost tens of millions. DeSantis might be forced to pull the plug before the first primary.

      Because he was sponsored by a handful of rich people who now realize his “anti-woke” campaign hasn’t tricked enough people into ignoring his terrible policies.

        If you think that people dislike him because of his policies, then you haven’t met many republicans. They know very little about policies, any policies. They just want someone to hurt the people they deem scary and dangerous. Aka, liberals, trans people, drag queens, etc. And then they want that person to have charisma and “tell it like it is.” DeSantis fits the bill on the first account but he has no charisma, just none. If he was more charismatic and direct, they would like him way better.
