As the popularity of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has risen, it’s become clear that the Democrats have started to up the political threat level. Those rumblings started around last summer when Howard Dean said DeSantis “might be more of a lunatic than Trump ever was.”
Now the lib media has been spotted starting to get in on the act:
Who had January 14, 2022 in the "inevitable first @jonathanchait column on how DeSantis is worse than Trump" pool? Collect your winnings. https://t.co/FIiarGrnqn pic.twitter.com/8Jalu9PjXG

Like clockwork:
If you loved Donald Trump, but wish he jailed Fauci and didn't promote the vaccine, there's a presidential candidate for you https://t.co/cu69mPTm3J

In a few years there will probably be a Republican “worse than DeSantis,” and so on and so on…

The pivot begins. DeSantis is literally hitler. We mean it this time https://t.co/kaMIVb70tk

They couldn’t be more predictable if they tried.
