:I'm not sure we should assign a pejorative name and collect disparaging information like this when there is a fair probability DeSantis could be the GOP nominee. It could be used to attack DeSantis should he be the nominee. That of course, may be the strategy here.

::As of right now, there's a 40-50% chance DeSantis will be a Republican president in either 2024 or 2028. How many times have we seen these propaganda efforts both from within and outside the GOP in presidential politics? In 2000, [[John McCain]] was the media darling challenging the frontrunner only to graduate to Hitler by 2008; in 2008 [[Mitt Romney]] was the media darling challenging the frontrunner only to graduate to Hitler in 2012; In 2015 Trump was the media darling prior to the primaries only to graduate to Hitler after securing the nomination. This kind of manipulation get's old after awhile.
::The main problem with it is, it attacks DeSantis supporters, and not DeSantis directly himself. it is intended to sow division within the GOP, which will survive the 2024 primaries, and ignores all the organic events to play out over the next 15 months or so.
