Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
Some liberal goof asserted that Ron DeSantis resided somewhere on the Asperger’s Spectrum in a recent tweet that I can’t dig up with just a cursory search, but said pinko tweeted that like it was a bad thing. It’s not. It’s a great thing, and we need more GOP pols with that condition’s political manifestation. People with Asperger’s tend to miss social cues and fail to respond as society expects, but many are also focused, driven, and generally amazing in their areas of interest. When you put those qualities together in a right-wing officeholder, that means you have a Conservative Terminator. Conservativing is what he does; it’s all he does.
So, bring on the Asperger’s Republicans.
Far too many Republicans, for far too long, have found themselves distracted and/or enslaved by the elite consensus, restrained by norms and conventions that the liberal elite demands we observe, but that it itself flaunts when those rules limit its options. These Fredocons care what people who care nothing about them think, and they find themselves responding to the outside stimuli of the garbage mainstream media instead of focusing intently on conservative change while disregarding the slings and arrows of the haters. When it comes to fighting the establishment, political Asperger’s is indicative of awesomeness.
And our next generation of Republicans needs to embrace their place on the Spectrum – the more inappropriate the liberal elite finds their reactions to its cues and signals, the better. No more tame, pliable sissies like Mitt (R-ish – Miracle Whip). No more of Nikki! Haley’s sucking up to the establishment while trying to grift the base by leveraging hack conserva-cliché’s from 2005 to present to us as hardcore instead of Jeb! in a dress. No more Kristi!s and Asa!s fronting as all tuff about men pretending to be girls to win races then folding the second the establishment disapproves. Instead, we need GOP politicians who are utterly immune to the siren song of a media and an establishment that seek to draw them in and crash them upon the rocks. Our pols need to ignore MSNBCNN and its hysterical horsehockey. They need to stop reading the NYT and WaPo and being scared that a bad write-up will get them uninvited to all the cool parties. They need to lock onto their target and take it out like an Israeli missile flattens a Hamas/AP frat house.
Look at Ron DeSantis – he just doesn’t care what the bad guys say. Not at all. They scream that he won’t enforce face-diapering, that he’s too hard on election fraud, that’s he’s declared open season on those Antifa/BLM nimrods who trap normal citizens in their cars on public roads, and then DeSantis just goes ahead and does what he wants anyway. And it works – he’s super popular.
This was not Donald Trump’s style – Trump would engage the haters, if only to sock them in the gut, often with his apocryphal mean tweets. But not Ron the Conqueror. No, DeSantis’s accomplishments are his mean tweets.
See, the liberal elite always misunderstood the nature of Donald Trump, and the elite failed to appreciate the popularity of his ideas. In dealing the pain, Trump was the right man at the right time – we needed his punch-back then to show the simps we could counter-attack. But that strategy had a cost. The elite gleefully exploited Trump’s colorful antics, and it leveraged his feistiness into a weapon to energize the pinkos while alienating the softcons from fully supporting the most conservative president since Reagan. They focused on attacking Trump in terms of social class and style instead of in terms of substance. They couldn’t, and it’s only now that many people are noticing just how amazing Trump’s accomplishments were in contrast to President *’s unending series of failures.
The elite finds itself at a grave disadvantage when it comes up against a pol it can’t provoke into fighting on the elite’s preferred ground, the favorable terrain of social class and style within a culture the elite controls. An Asperger’s Republican has a relentless focus on conservative achievement, of doing what he/she wants done, and he/she is not distracted by the disapproval of the media or even his/her peers. An Asperger’s Republican simply does conservative things, heedless of liberal howling and calumny, and then the liberals are stuck having to battle on the hostile terrain of actual achievements. What is someone going to say to DeSantis as Florida leads the recovery out of the pandemic paranoia? “Sure, there was no tsunami of death when you took the lead in eschewing flu hajibs, but you still should have made people wrap a hanky around their mugs forever because of reasons?”
There’s a lesson there for Republican pols – and all of us.
Stop giving a damn what people who hate you think and say, and just do what you promised to do. Don’t ask permission – and don’t ask forgiveness either. Get it done.
This is where I must join the Spectrum Caucus because there are going to be some folks who pretend to be highly offended, outraged, and literally shaking over my analogy to Asperger’s and “The Spectrum.” To them, I say this: I don’t care if you’re offended. I am going to do and say whatever I want, all the time, in whatever manner I feel like doing and saying it, and you are going to sit there and cry. Buzz off.
We need more people saying things like that, especially among our politicians.

Great point, and this was the strength of the Alt Right emergence in 2016. Lots of autists that gave two shits about social feedback.
Without so many words, Hardscrabble Farmer said something very similar on one of yesterday’s post without mentioning De Santis.
Nearly every politician falls somewhere on the Asshole spectrum. All that should ever matter are their principles….if they actually have any.
Its so interesting to look at the Covid data in Florida.
Especially, Miami Dade and Broward where Democrats cheat.As New York ,NJ and California report cases dropping.
Florida will be the only state left with significant cases.
No one cares….
The point I’m making is the media is going to make an issue of the fake cases. Probably with in a month.
Just remember. You heard it here first. They know DeSantis is a threat.
Media? LOuck peddling that here.
Cases. LOuck peddling that here.
I live in Florida and every word of this is true. DeSantis is the real deal. He doesn’t give a shit about what the leftists think. In fact, every time they get uppity, he puts a boot in their face. Case in point, south Florida, the counties of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. There are plenty of good folks down there but the majority are liberal twits from New York, illegal aliens, homos, and other assorted scum. There is a reason why it is the scam capital of the USA. Every creep who made his living ripping off his neighbors, every perpetual loser, every freak, every deadbeat, ends up down there. DeSantis has repeatedly used his powers as governor (and they are considerable) to stomp on the leftist Democrat pipsqueaks who hold local office. He fired the useless sheriff who allowed the Parkland murders, fired a black Supervisor of Elections, and generally put them all on notice. DeSantis is a gentlemanly former Navy officer, friendly, never rude, and never, ever directly responds to the scumbags who attack him. It drives them crazy. And he has excellent hair and no orange skin. He has never wavered in his support of Trump. True, he is an Israel booster, but I will overlook that. Frankly, I am losing interest in foreign affairs as we rapidly become a laughingstock thanks to Biden and his crew of buffoons. We could far worse than DeSantis in 2024
SS – I agree with you on foreign affairs and could give 2 hoots about who is killing who (or is it whom?) in the large sandbox, the European forests, Pacific islands or the frozen tundra. I want the United States to repel the invaders who are coming here is droves to suck at the government teat and drain our resources, just like Cloward and Piven predicted.
Trump was a total failure when it came to giving orders and then firing those who did not follow them. He should have cleaned out the 5-sided building when they refused to pull the troops out of the war zones, as ordered. Same thing for the Dept. of Just Us, FIB, Sea Eye Ay, IRS, etc. He was famous for saying “You’re Fired” on TV, but had a hard time doing it as Chief Executive of the government.
“True, he is an Israel booster, but I will overlook that.”
I don’t think I can. They are the nation to whom the antichrist will come.
i like desantis–
adam putnam was my 1st choice & i thought that he would clean desantis’ clock but of course,i was wrong–
desantis is strong & he has grown on me–
however,he needs to be watched as he has some lefty environmental ideas that he keeps off the radar–
Kurt has progressed steadily away from his neoClown roots…good to see
People with Asperger’s and Autism are far less likely to be emotionally manipulated or to use manipulative tactics. This is heavily at odds with modern day politicians who use emotional triggers and marketing ploys to persuade because their policies are unpopular. It’s been a long time since these people were forced to play an honest game and they hate it.
All my best friends are on the spectrum.
I prefer Tourette’s myself.
But your expletive outbursts are 100% justified by what is going on around you. THAT is not Tourette’s….that is just reality and a proper response.
Whoop! Fuck! Shit! Piss!
Ron DeSantis WILL be a GREAT President!
So far he looks like the leading contender.
Yes, but maybe his leadership would be better utilized strengthening Florida’s hold on freedom than trying to rescue the entire country. His last electoral victory over Andrew Gillum was too close for comfort.
All right, here’s what I have to say that I don’t give a shit about whomever might be offended:
The only surviving use for politics or politicians of any stripe is to try and draw out whatever time is left to prepare for the rapidly-approaching train wreck. We feel the rails humming, we see the lights shining and can hear the whistles frantically blowing their last strident alarm. These ‘conductors’ – every single one of them – are either trying to pacify the fear until the moment of impact, for whatever reason they can justify, or so blind and incompetent that they don’t even recognize the reality rushing down upon them.
Use them as they have used you for the last many decades. By all means, if you’re going to vote, vote for people who are at least going to try to keep things going on for at least a little while. Forget any national effort – we all know how that’s been codified at this point – but a local conservative of any label is far better than a Destructorat. (You heard it here first!)
Time is drawing short, though none of us can know exactly how many months or years we have left before the final last ounce of pull trips the trigger. It’s now all about preparation and a better chance of surviving. In my opinion. Y’all draw your own conclusions.
When it comes to fighting the establishment, political Asperger’s is indicative of awesomeness.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I can vouch for aspies. Not needing social approval is their super power. Comes in handy in our clown world.
Even further down the “spectrum”
You mean act like real men as they used to be? No, not politically correct. The media has everyone tip toeing around a lot of issues instead of confrontation being the order of the day. It’s time to step out and be true to your real thoughts and feelings.
I don’t know if it’s a condition, but about 2013 or ’14 I figured out that no matter what I did they were going to call me a racist for speaking the truth, so that I just better toughen up my skin and psyche. Lo and behold, they fronted CRT where every white person is a racist by definition. Nice.

People running for office say all the shit they think you want to hear and then they go to Washington and they change their tune. Does anyone feel represented? It’s people who live in big cities who are idiots making decisions for the rest of the country and they don’t give a shit what you think. DeSantis says the right stuff and looks like a contender for going to Washington and being abused by the press and system.
here are some slimy republicans–
a bunch of texas reps,including the governor, took substantial sums of $ from a clinic that is a leader in offering sex hormones to trans kids–
