From the moment Donald Trump came down that stupid escalator, Rick Wilson’s been gunning for him. At first, Wilson’s intentions seemed noble enough. After all, Donald Trump had more baggage than a 747, not to mention a decades-long history of being very much not conservative.
But then as time went on, Wilson started to come unglued. And it didn’t take long for Wilson’s brand of Principled Conservatism™ to mean a full-throated embrace of liberalism and Democratic politicians and policies. And now, more than two years after Donald Trump has left the White House, Wilson is more broken than ever. So broken, in fact, that he’s behaving an awful lot like the man he professes to hate.
Case in point, this bizarre tweet about Ron DeSantis and DeSantis supporters:
The reaction to any comment on Tiny D Desantis and his kicky drag boots certainly triggers the Ronhadis.

You can take the Confederate cooler out of the grifter, but … actually, no you can’t. Rick Wilson’s been a massive jerk and a bigot for years now. He was just somewhat more careful to not let the mask slip quite so much.
Did Donald Trump tweet this?

Wilson is more like Trump than almost anyone else on Twitter. https://t.co/mmOuruFfNh

Nailed it.
The snapback of the Lincoln Project guys from being the most ardent Anti-Trump voices in politics to being equally intense critics of his opponents is the wildest story of this election cycle. https://t.co/KmZJgL1Cv1

Eh, it may seem wild at first. But if you really stop and think about it, it actually makes perfect sense.
When you turn into Trump because your livelihood depends on the person you claim to loathe. https://t.co/ssuiO9HAkk

There’s always money in the Orange Man Bad stand.
The fact that Democrat operatives are parroting Trump's nicknames for DeSantis should tell you something. https://t.co/7w4mNrknk8

Oh, it tells us plenty.
when you hate Trump so much you've become Trump https://t.co/pQEZWbrzz8

If you purported to oppose Trump because of his demeanor and morality, but now find yourself regularly using derisive nicknames that question the manhood and sexuality of other politicians — well, congrats. You became the monster you set out to slay. https://t.co/Bc3oKbKTWv

Works every time it’s tried.
Trump's greatest power is turning his enemies into a mirror of himself. https://t.co/ABsVPYpHbO

Yep. And he’s gotten damn good at it.
