If the choice is desantis or trump for the right: free and fair elections end anyway. Desantis is no less of a power hungry monster and will simply finish the agenda trump laid out.

Whether through Trump's negligent ego-stroking or DeSantis's active monstrosity, a Republican presidency means the end of American democracy.
I'd argue Desantis is worse. He's actually somewhat competent at enacting his agenda. Trump just bumbled his way through his presidency like he does just about everything else and simply relied on his odd anti-charisma to convince his underlings to do his bidding(which, thankfully, didn't always work).
DeSantis' congressional experience makes a difference. I would argue he's actually more impulsive than Trump when it comes to tossing around red meat ideas because he watched a Fox segment or because some organization personally made him mad. But he understands the legislative process and is much more effective at getting his ideas turned into law without blowing up in his face.
Longtime Trump Supporter Says Ex-President Refused To Endorse Without $1Mil Input - HillReporter |
Donald Trump’s endorsements haven’t all exactly rung the bell for his MAGA voters. Some have caused his fans to question exactly what it is that goes into his endorsements, exactly what qualifies a candidate. Now, one of the candidates he didn’t endorse has responded to that question — and the...

Grifter gonna grift.
Even if Trump abolishes term limits, he's gotta die someday. And it'll probably be someday soon.
I can see DeSantis being willing to wait his turn.
There's two years till the next presidential run, and thanks to trump: campaigning never actually stops. If desantis wants it he has to act NOW, because trump will probably be announcing his candidacy soon: he thinks it will protect him from the looming threat of prosecution.
A touch of a side note, but relevant. Trump thinks that announcing his candidacy will protect him from prosecution. Not just becoming president. Some folks have talked like we've still got a couple of years to get these prosecutions taken care of. I'm not saying those people are wrong, but I am saying that Trump is aiming for protection rather sooner than that.
Yup, that's actually what I meant. I should have been more clear, thank you G.B.
You're welcome. I wasn't intending to correct you, but emphasize what it seemed you were saying.

The pathological liar wants people to stop calling him a liar.
Alright, so... wouldn't this be a good thing? Because CNN would have to prove they weren't lying about the big lie and trump lying: and it's actually pretty easy to do. Which means they are proving, in court, that trump was lying.Trump sends cease and desist demanding CNN delete 'Big Lie' and 'lying' from stories about the former president

Isn't that a good thing for like everyone except trump at this point? Or is he assuming that his name and the threat alone will be enough to force compliance?
Considering his entire life is a string of bluffs, swindles, and lies, it's probably mostly hot air. That and, knowing the absolute stupidity of his fans, the accusation alone is enough. They'll just hear that liberal media is calling their orange savior a liar and run with it. After all, if decades of being publicly caught lying hasn't convinced them that he's a liar, why would this?
The Republicans can't abolish term limits. It can't be done by Congress or the Supreme Court or by Executive order. It can only be done by a Constitutional amendment and they definitely don't have the votes.
Oh right, I forgot to provide context for this because I'm used to literally all of my political news having come from here in the first place.
