The increasingly hopeless presidential candidate is now clinging to a weird right-wing meme in the hopes of winning over the misogynistic-sociopath vote.

Is he really a hopeless candidate? Misogynist-sociopaths seem to have been making a comeback lately. Trump’s chances in the primaries would be weakened if convicted. Biden’s health hasn’t gotten any better, and he has always been a weak, uninspiring politician.

That video is so fucking bizarre. It’s like someone hired a bunch of 4chan incels and edgelords to do his PR.

The pretty boys and oiled-up muscle men being associated with Ron DeSantis make him look, well, kinda gay?

As terrified as I am of the outcome of 2024 I’m looking forward to the Republican primaries.

But now I regret this comment because it inspired me to look up the declared candidates and I noticed Ron DeSantis’ age… motherfucker is the same age I am. How’s a motherfucker get so wrong in the same 44 years as me?

Not just wrong… but also politically successful?

(For the record, the answer is “psychopathy”)
