Pandering to his [[dark money|dark-money]] mega-donors, DeSantis personally pushed for statewide [[sports gambling]] in a deal valued at $2.5 billion, despite opposition by [[conservative]]s based on the enormous harm inflicted by the [[gambling]] [[addiction]].<ref name="Politico">https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/30/desantis-scores-big-legal-win-upholding-2-5b-gambling-deal-with-florida-tribe-00104427</ref>

Despite propaganda claiming the contrary, DeSantis has not governed as a sincere conservative. To paraphrase "Dutchman," a prominent commentator on ''The Conservative Treehouse'', every action he has taken since 2018 was a political calculation designed to create two non-existent images, one of a "Free State of Florida" and the other of a "Trump lite". He is not nor has he ever been [[America First]]; his public image is totally artificial and disconnected from reality.[https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/06/22/everyone-is-going-to-think-im-nuts-but-im-not-nuts]

DeSantis is also a supporter of the inappropriately-named "[[Convention of States]]" movement, which despite its premise would grant [[globalist]]s and [[Leftists|leftists]] a unique opportunity to unilaterally rewrite the [[U.S. Constitution]].
