I honestly don't know. DeSantis is a posing POS that has NO moral core whatsoever. He will say or do ANYTHING to promote DeSantis.
And I actually know nothing about Noem. I don't see how he could be a bigger scum bag than DeSantis,so I probably would vote for him if there were no other choice.
See, here's the problem. One term isn't going to fix America,not even with both houses of Congress fully on board. Way too much FUBAR at all levels of the Federal Government, in all agencies, and about half of that would have to go. Not just individuals who are effective agents of America's destruction, but whole agencies, likely some we haven't heard of, and their ties to all the unconstitutional shit going down that is really hurting the county right now.
Social security and a number of ongoing problems are for all political purposes handy smokescreens to get folks worked up to mask all the really nasty crap going on behind layers of government, and it's the stuff behind the curtain that needs to go.
That said, it will take far more than one term of Trump.
So, whaddya got?
Infighting and bullshit is not a plan for the future, but it's spray painted all over the GOP like graffiti on railroad cars. One term, maybe, where nothing but nothing gets rolled back, and the Democrats are in the starting blocks for another power grab--and that's our power, as citizens, far beyond what we ever consented to give, regardless of our laws, in
spite of the Constitution.
If the Republicans, or for that matter, any anti-totalitarian political movement is EVER going to stop the slide into the totalitarian abyss, it better have a bleep plan.
I'm not seeing it because the GOP never seems to look past keeping their hooks in Congress for fun and profit, and not past the next election. That includes candidates. That includes egregiously not attacking and demeaning the people who should be getting ready to take on the mantle and lead forward. It includes suites of legislation repealing what needs to go. Not there. Not happening, just another day at the circus when someone opened the monkey cages.
Why down on DeSantis? He sure looks like he's been a good Governor for Florida, not perfect, but better than most governors of any State, and it's an executive position. He hasn't been able to do that with Florida alone, and has managed to have a legislature behind him. He's not as polished in the political arena as some, but I don't see being what I consider to be a smooth liar like Clinton or Obama as being an asset. I'm willing to overlook a little political awkwardness for a guy who can get the job done. As for Noem, as Governor of South Dakota, SHE refused to stop the Sturgis Rally over COVID, and for a huge motorcycle rally (hundreds of thousands in attendance for Bike Week), held outside for the most part, there were only 250 cases of COVID even the liars at the CDC could attribute to possible transmission of COVID at the rally. Some "superspreader". But a big part of the economy of the Black Hills and even elsewhere for vendors, and SHE had the balls to stand up to the bullshit. That should be worth some points.
But here is my point. There had best better be someone capable, someone who can herd all the flaccid bastards in Congress down the chute and get the right legislation passed (repealing a lot of what got tucked into omnibus spending and other Bills) and turn this insane stampede into communism around and clean up the mess, or we won't have to worry about many more elections.
We'll be imprisoned, sent to the Gulag, or shot, because we aren't far away from that now (J6!), and the tools are increasingly in place. The propaganda network is a few federal mouse clicks away from being complete, and as soon as the gathered opinions of possible dissenters are enough, movements tracked, recorded, and the no knock warrants issued for having a gun or an opinion or both, then the Social media can go dark, completely controlled, as it was almost controlled during COVID.
Control information, you can control banking (in process), control vote counts, control who says anything, or what they seemed to have said, with careful editing, like the latest "bloodbath". Control the courts and use them to summarily strip assets, and control every peep the media say about them, monitor who meets with who in person with facial recognition software and camera networks that would have made Big Brother have nocturnal emissions, monitor and control who travels and where, and it is only the primitive systems which will have a chance to be survivable, and only if you avoid the net. Your phone is all that a bad actor needs to locate and track you, and in some cases, track everything about you from your work, expressed opinions, banking, purchases, who you hang out with or communicate with and YOU provide the equipment and pay for the service!
We're not even ready to fight with speeches on paper, much less go hot if the situation goes to hell, so we had all better find the right people to put in government to stop this shit.
That means looking to 2028 2032 2036 and beyond. So, instead of shooting down De Santis (like he did with Cruz) Trump could have been helping groom the successor in the forefront of the GOP, cleaning up the country clubbers and neo-cons, and really setting America back on the tracks, with a plan to take it in the Right direction. Needless blue-on-blue crap even before DeSantis declared, like done with Cruz, vile and sophomoric attacks, while the man is running a State in the crosshairs and doing a pretty good job, really is off putting, and it pisses me off that I don't even get a vote in any of this because all the primary stuff was done before my state really got a shot. Not only was that unnecessary, but it damages the prospects for the future, at best a mere four years away. And if something (GOD FORBID!)were to happen to Trump, then what? He's been busy along with his supporters, chasing off the other candidates with torches and pitchforks or burning them at the rhetorical stake.
Frankly, that sh*t has to stop, or there won't be anything left to save, and no one to save it with.
I thought we were supposed to be the ones who were forward looking, but realize now it is our opponents who have been planning this stuff since Tailgunner Joe was picking off Communists, and they have not lost sight of their goals-and sadly, have been achieving them despite their differences, while the GOP has been a succession of circular firing squads and internal feuds incapable of even agreeing on common goals and moving the ball downfield. That didn't happen during Trump's term, either, which is why he governed by E.O.
Screw it, I'm taking a nap. Wake me up when the adults take over in DC. I have a feeling Rip Van Winkle only got a catnap.
