Changes

DeSantisites include in their ranks people who are not conservatives, such as [[Establishment|establishment]] types who manipulate DeSantis in order to try to stop [[Donald Trump]]. However they also include in their ranks people who very much are conservatives, including former Trump supporters who have become disillusioned with him because of either his age (in 2024, Trump will be the same age [[Joe Biden]] was in 2020) or because they fear he will repeat the same hiring mistakes he made during his first term and thus govern less effectively than what he is capable of. However, regardless of political affiliation they have one thing in common: they are looking for some sort of political [[messiah]], and will deliberately ignore any red flags associated with their preferred "messiah" candidate while also refusing to engage in any sort of constructive debate on the merits.

*In the aftermath of the [[Mar-a-Lago raid]], DeSantis remained near-silent for several days, and when he finally made public comments on the raid he actively avoided mentioning Trump by name. In the same period, he fired his entire brand image consulting team and his entire communications team, presumably in order to distance himself from Trump.

*While running for re-election as Governor of [[Florida]], DeSantis raised over $200 million for his re-election campaign, with 94% of that money coming from billionaires and corporations. He also published campaign ads ''outside'' of Florida. Neither of these moves would make sense unless he were actively seeking an even higher office at the same time he was running for Governor.
