Its true based on his FCC filings. They want a fascist in office, yes. But that fascist has to actually win the election, and DeSantis has been blowing through money and his poll numbers have been sinking since he entered the race. The more republican primary voters learn about and are exposed to him, the less they like him. The donor class is smart enough not to give into the sunk cost fallacy and are realizing DeSantis is a loser, which means they’re looking for a different fascist that can actually win a primary and election.
On the other hand, it sucks that in order to even be in the conversation for any public office you need massive amounts of money that can only realistically be provided by selling yourself out. There are a few exceptions, sure, but by and large our leaders are chosen by ability to drum up donations instead of things like wisdom, judgment, and leadership.
News I saw says he’s out of money.
I would be very surprised if that’s true; the billionaire class seems to really want this Fascist in office.
They did until he went after Disney.
He fucked around with the Mouse House and he’s about to find out just how deep the rich class’s pockets go.

On the one hand, good. Fuck him.
