Sanctimonious: hypocritically pious or devout
Never Trumpers and Daily Wire Bros were out in full-force this past weekend after a rally where DJT called out the Florida Governor’s low presidential polling numbers, and wielded the nickname “Ron DeSanctimonious”.
The utter meltdown of these blue checks, rivals even the libs.
Is it “Trump is so over we don’t need him”, or “He was mean to our guy before the midterms that’s horrible strategy!”? Pick one DeSimps!
One of the biggest negatives I hear people spew about Trump, is his ego. DeSantis is the humble one right? Uhh, have you seen his latest campaign video?
Trump does have an ego, which at times lead him toward counterproductive behavior. All the same, he’s got nothing on Ron. DeSantis, already a shoe-in for a massive gubernatorial victory, released an ad which claims he was *sent by God*. LMAO.
How sanctimonious.
Which brings us to today’s topic: Ron is not the guy. He’s an establishment shill, backed by Kevin McCarthy & Paul Ryan to subdue MAGA voters and bring us back to good ole’ status-quo Republican Party controlled opposition. Was anyone excited to run out and vote for the Bush’s? McCain? Romney? No. The GOP was not only out-of-touch with their base, they pretty openly showed disdaine for them, that is until Donald Trump came down the escalator.
Now, you have Ron DeSantis not just riding Trump’s coattails but outright copying them:
All while the blue checks and Never Trumpers blame everything on Trump, and nothing on Ron DeSaintis. Never forget who these people really are.
One of the biggest pieces of revisionist history I see passed around by the DeSantis choir, is that he was some sort of Covid hero.
“DeSantis never shut down Florida!” “He’s a freedom fighter!” “He never pushed the jab!” “Go Heavy D!” “DeSantis 2024!”
Don’t be upset if that sounds like you. The media and establishment have blasted that message on all the airwaves. But, now it’s time to stop sipping the Heavy D Kool Aid. Oh yeah.
Let’s get this straight: DeSantis did lock down Florida. He did have draconian Covid policies. He did push the vaccine. Don’t believe me?
Florida Governor Orders Statewide Lockdown
Woman Protesting COVID-19 Closures Arrested After Refusing to Leave Miami Beach: Cops
Florida pastor arrested for holding services in violation of coronavirus restrictions
White House: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to allow COVID vaccines for kids
That’s just stuff I had on hand.
“Well, he did better than everyone else!” Really? 9 Governors didn’t shutdown their states. Guess who wasn’t one of them?
But Trump should’ve fired Fauci! Trump allowed the lockdowns!
Trump was advocating to be fully open by Easter 2020. But everyone, including people on the right, were criticizing him for not doing MORE. Trump is expected to be perfect, when the whole system is against him, but Ron, who had the powers to keep his state free, did nothing until other states did.
Rewind to DeSantis’ governor race, where he won by a 0.4% margin, due to Trump’s endorsement. Now of course, DeSantis is perfectly fine to wash his hands of Trump. You know that raid, the Mar-A-Lago one, in, you know, Mar-A-Lago—DeSantis’ state? He did nothing about it. Except for a few tweets that don’t even say Trump’s name.
Oh and he got a nice campaign email from it. Class act.
Why do virtually all pundits and reps refuse to say a bad word about this guy? Why is he touted as a “Trump” without the baggage? Cause he’s the establishment guy. Backed by the worst humans in politics, trying to convince you that he’s a gift from God.
Exhibit A An endorsement from a Bush should make you unelectable in today’s world, that is of course if Republican voters held their reps responsible ever, or had memories that spanned over a year.
“President Trump is funded primarily from massive amounts of small contributions from small donors, the MAGA base.”
”Governor Ron DeSantis is funded primarily by a small group of exclusive Wall Street corporations, billionaires and hedge fund managers, and almost no small donors.”
Exhibit C, DeSantis’ voting record in congress puts him even with most neo-con establishment politicians. He voted for Fast Tracking Authority for the Trans Pacific Partnership, a.k.a. he gave Obama the opportunity to ram through a major trade giveaway to Asian countries; offshoring more American jobs.
I could open a whole gallery, but the bottom line is Ron’s speeches feel scripted, his commercials are corny, and he tries to mimic the Don, but ends up feeling like a Vegas Elvis impersonator.
Now, as someone with Larry Hogan as a Governor, I am not saying Ron is the anti-christ or the worst republican politician we have—but acting as though he’s this gold standard lion fighter of the people, is a joke, as well as naive.
You have allowed the MSM and Conservative Inc. to convince you that Donald Trump—a true anti-establishment disruptor, can be beaten by Ron DeSantis? An establishment guy who hasn’t even done that much, just uses hot button culture war issues for clicks.
DeSanctimonious is not a gift from god, he’s not “the guy”, he never was the guy, and won’t be the guy 2 years from now.
He’s the GOP’s guy, a ploy to manipulate you into voting the establishment back into power, so they can continue to wage endless wars, spy on Americans, and further their Globalist agenda, without any accountability.
Yet, way too many conservatives are buying the performative pandering. The same conservatives who bash Trump over and over for not doing enough, when he had 2 hands behind his back, a blindfold on, and his own “people” stabbing him in the back at every corner.
But yeah, Ron DeSantis will take on the establishment. Give me a break. He can’t even handle a tame nickname from DJT. (Who, worth noting, still endorsed Ron for governor, the next day at a Miami rally.)
The GOP really doesn’t deserve Trump.
