DeSantisites

DeSantisites are people who pretend that Ron DeSantis is a sincere conservative and then demand that everyone else support DeSantis for President, and who sometimes use leftist tactics to coerce others.

DeSantisites include in their ranks people who are not conservatives, such as 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.

Some DeSantisites may in fact be paid actors.[1] Some are also willing to troll, harass, and defame Trump supporters for simply disagreeing with them.[2]

List of things about DeSantis that DeSantisites tend to ignore

• 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.
• During the 2022 midterms, DeSantis canceled a scheduled appearance at a Lee Zeldin fundraiser. While Zeldin has his own issues, none of them were the reason for the cancellation. The reason invoked by DeSantis was that he had to attend the funeral of a cop, although a much more likely reason is that he had recently spoken with a New York real estate donor who happened to support Kathy Hochul.
• DeSantis is endorsed by the Club for Growth, Paul Ryan, and Jeb Bush.
• DeSantis supported and voted for the globalist TPP while in Congress.
• DeSantis supports funding the War in Ukraine.
• DeSantis has confiscated more guns than any other governor in the country thanks to his strict enforcement of Florida's red flag law.
• DeSantis has remained silent over January 6.
• DeSantis has imposed criminal penalties on companies which refuse to do business with Israel.
• DeSantis has refused to support E-Verify.
• During a debate with Charlie Crist, DeSantis refused to commit to serving a full term if reelected.
• DeSantis received the vast majority of the Republican Governor's Association (RGA) donation funds despite being in a safe race during the 2022 midterms. Meanwhile candidates in much closer races, such as Doug Mastriano and potential DeSantis rival Kari Lake, were given little to no funds despite the promises of the RGA's co-chairs, RINOs Doug Ducey and Pete Ricketts.[3][4][5][6]
• DeSantis may have been involved in the coverup of the death of Kent Stermon.[7][8][9][10]
• Among DeSantis' staff include foreign agent and Russophobe Christina Pushaw and impeachment supporter Jeremy Redfern.[11][12][13]
• DeSantis, as stated above, has been relying on vicious internet trolls (who may in fact be paid trolls) to promote his potential candidacy.
• DeSantis has refused to label Antifa as a terrorist organization.[14]
