Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
You can feel the cold terror of the Dems as Ron DoomSantis strides across the American political stage laying waste to the puny mortals nipping at his ankles, President Asterisk among them. The doddering old pervert might have thought he was cunning when asked by a reporter about the Lord Humungous of Florida by asking back “Governor Who?” Of course, the question became whether or not that mush-junkie Matlock superfan was trying to high-hat the competition or whether he really had no idea who the reporter was talking about when DeSantis riposted, “I’m not surprised that Biden doesn’t remember me . . . The question is what else has he forgotten?” Way to turn your diss gambit into a massive self-own, Crusty.
The media is pulling out all the stops to knee-cap DeSantis before he becomes unstoppable through his combination of competence and not caring. So suddenly, according to the regime-licensed media, Florida is a smoldering wasteland of hacking, dying victims of Governor Grim Reaper. Except DeSantis has been out there pushing the vaccine – for people who want it – and the whole “DeSantis is anti-vaxx” kind of contradicts the prior narrative about how DeSantis was colluding with big donors to monopolize the vaxx to line their pockets. Pro-Tip, Lil’ Goebbels Gang – you should try to at least keep your lies consistent. After all, everyone’s not as dumb as your Democratic constituents.
Why is DeSantis invulnerable to their slings and arrows? The not caring is a big part. At some level, Trump still wants to be accepted by the elite – this is why he baffles us by still giving interviews to the shabby likes of Maggie Haberman and Bob Woodward even though they treat him like a Boy Scout trying to earn a Lincoln Project merit badge.
Not DeSantis. He doesn’t care. He’s not about mean tweets. He’s about ripping out their throats by accomplishing things that make them cry.
He’s the future, and the future will hurt, libs.
He’s what’s coming, so brace yourself for the thinkless think pieces on how “DeSantis is Worse Than Trump!” And, improbably, they are right.
DeSantis internalized the lessons of Donald Trump. Mean tweets were great six years ago when the president came down the escalator. But, as Alinsky pointed out, anything that goes on too long becomes a drag. DeSantis understands the base wants results, promises kept, and conservative wokeness. It’s not enough to talk – we demand our pols do. Trump’s biggest success came when he was keeping promises – in fact, he kept more than anyone had any right to expect. And we need to know that our standard bearer knows what time it is – that means he gets, instinctively, that this is a freedom vs. serfdom scenario in which our enemies want us disenfranchised, disarmed, and sometimes dead.
DeSantis, with his honey badger DNA, is a relentless killdozer of conservative activism. And all the liberal tears just bead up and run off him.
He’s not the only Conservaterminator. Some get it instinctively – Ric Grenell comes to mind. So does former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien. For others, DeSantis’s America First gravity is pulling them along. The Greg Abbots of the world might not be so aggressive but for the Florida example, yet they understand that there are only two kinds of Republicans now – our kind, and the kind who are doomed to the cruise ship circuit. Pick a side, us or Ahoy.
Those are the losers, the ones who have fallen out in the great road march to victory. Asterisk *dministration-approved sellout Asa! Hutchinson has fully committed to earning, through slobbering obedience, a seat on the Walmart board. When he’s not following the Official Narrative that boys pretending to be girls are girls, he’s decrying how his legislature won’t let him please his masters by decreeing that all of Arkansas participate in the pandemic performance art of mandatory masking. Asa! will certainly earn his biscuit and cash-in. Look for him on MSNBCNN explaining how True Conservatives™ are utterly scandalized by those uncouth barbarians like DeSantis with their masculinity and refusal to conform. “That’s not who we are!” they sob.
Then there’s Kristi! Noem, who hilariously thinks she’s still a player after her own transexual fiasco in which whatever morons are advising her decided the best way to address the issue was to tell the people protesting her total backtracking on her promise to protect girl’s sports that they were just too stupid to understand how her betrayal was actually total support, somehow. She’s more tone-deaf than the guys from Nickelback – she supposedly just attended a fundraiser with John Boehner, if you can believe it. What, was Paul Ryan busy? And she is taking down other clueless Republicans – Jane Timken just detonated her Ohio Senate campaign by accepting South Dakota Jeb!’s endorsement.
Please clap as Kristi! continues to mosey on, thinking that she’s got a shot, and taking shots at DeSantis for disobeying the Chamber of Commerce. It won’t help. She’s done. When it got tough, she folded to the establishment. She’s disqualified. No appeals. No second chances. If Kristi! wishes to serve the conservative movement instead of her own ambition, she can still do it – as a cautionary example of what happens when you sell us out to your corporate donors.
And the less said about Nikki! Haley the better. She’s just a few lost primaries and a spoonful of resentment at us wokecons from becoming the Mitt Romney of Liz Cheneys.
In 2024, it’ll be Trump again, or DeSantis, or perhaps someone else who is hard. But it won’t be a squish. This is the time of the winnowing, folks. Chaff, away with you – we want the wheat. If you aren’t all in for us, through thick and thin, despite media whining and the pearl-clutching of the softcons, you’re done. Over. End of story.

Look like someone don’t mind losing another fake election.
Trump or DeSantis? It doesn’t matter, I’m done voting.
Well just As I predicted. The CDC would attack DeSantis with fake PCR tests in Democrat strongholds of Miami Dade.
Democrat drones are probably going out and getting tested for the 100th time just as if their voting.
Look for the story line how badly Florida is doing.
Something around 15% of hospital beds in Florida have Covid patients. The liars of MSM claim out of control, bursting at the seams with bodies everywhere.
I live in Florida. Kurt is spot on. Don’t believe the twaddle about Florida. Things are perfectly normal here. Only the usual suspects are wearing masks, soccer moms and befuddled Democrats trembling with fear. Try to find a parking space at the beach. As for Fauci and his bullshit, DeSantis simply isn’t having any of it. Yeah, some lardasses, geezers (we are overrun with them), and a handful of true unfortunates are sick, but we now know this is going to happen anyway. How many daily deaths in Florida, a state with 28 million people? About 68, one for each county. DeSantis is no anti-vaxxer. He created one of the most efficient vaccination operations in the entire country. Hell, half of South America flew up to Miami to get vaccines and DeSantis said, “Have at it!”
Even during the first part of the so-called “pandemic” they were lying and spreading all the nonsense about health workers being heroic figures. No, the hospitals were not full, never, not once. A few localized events were hysterically trumpeted by the media but in general it was like a bad flu year.
As for the political future of DeSantis, I pray he will run and not Trump. If Trump had an ounce of humility and common sense he would continue to bait the Democrats and pull a head fake, with DeSantis taking top spot and Trump as the Grand Old Man taking his revenge cold. As I have said before, I am thankful for what Trump tried to do but he is not the man for the coming fight.
DeSantis gets it. He couldn’t care less about the approval of our rotten, stinking “elites”. He craps on the press, mocks the Democrats, and hits them where it hurts every chance he has.
Yeah, I know. Elections don’t count. I have said it myself. I am eating my words right now as I watch Biden literally taking our country apart brick by brick. I firmly believe this will only be settled through armed conflict but until the shells fall on Fort Sumter we better do what we can to fight back.
There is one thing I know about DeSantis. Unlike poor Trump, DeSantis will not tolerate traitors and Caspar Milquetoasts. The first RINO who tries to stab him in the back will be skinned alive. As for these disloyal meathead generals, I suspect he may bust them back to colonel (it can be done) and drop kick them out of the army.
DeSantis is not the Second Coming of Christ. He has flaws, but he does not have the yuuuuge millstones around his neck that Trump had. He doesn’t insult the ladies. He uses Twitter sparingly. He keeps his eye on the ball.
Give him a chance to show his stuff on the national stage.
You can give him or anybody as many chances as you like. But the only chance you have is through secede.
Seceding is not allowed.
SS – Trump’s ego is too big for him to voluntarily step aside. The only thing that will stop him from running is his health and I’m not sure anything except death will do that.
He has zero chance of bending the arc of history. The political structure, The OnePartyState, controls absolutely. A black robed fascist just ruled that Florida may not interfere w/ cruise lines demanding the jab to vaca or work. Burn it all down, it is the only way to save it. ;0
SS, I like and share your thoughts about Trump being the Grand Old Man doing his thing with DeSantis going for it. I imagine a Navy SEAL JAG officer has seen enough elephant to spit in some assclown like Milley’s face while tearing off his epaulets. “DISMISSED Captain Milley!”
As far as “doing what we can,” anything that stretches it out makes us more prepped, gains followers or discourages opposition from the wavering and scares the Evil F’ers. All good things.
De Santis would be great for our future…which is precisely why they will take him out…no doubt.
Open your eyes, Kurt. 2024 – it still will come down to who counts the votes and I do not see a big political change in Philthydelphia, Detroilet, Minninoplace or Milwokeme.
I do not see an political change for the GOPee. Just moar cover from them for the slide into the abyss. The RedKows can’t seem to shake their Stockholm Syndrome.
If anyone is going to slide into the abyss it will be our impostor President and his evil minions.
I’ve come to hate that term ‘Rino’. Republican In Name Only. It suggests people like Graham and McConnell have violated some central tenet putting them and their ilk outside of normal, operating procedure for “conservative republicans”. Bullshit. Republicans are every bit as committed to growing government, debasing the currency, and fighting pointless wars as their democratic brethren.
>>>I’ve come to hate that term ‘Rino’.
Exactly.
Graham, McConnel, Bush, Romney, McCain ad nauseum are hardly “rinos”; they are the soul and beating heart of Republicanism.
The GOP cannot openly state its core values, because it has none.
>>>there are only two kinds of Republicans now – our kind, and the kind who are doomed to the cruise ship circuit.
I’m not sure if the Republican Party’s future is a “bright” as Mr. Rich Lowry says it is, but I very much like Schlicter’s line about the cruise ship circuit. 95% of republican ‘opinion leaders’ seemed to view their ultimate goal as a cosy lecture gig on the MS Rotterdam. Of course, 95% of elected republicans were just there for the money, business connections and insider trading.
This country is indeed doomed… if we can’t even get one “opposition” party. FWIW I personally believe the USA is doomed, but I’m open to the small chance that I’m wrong.
