It's time for the clown show to end, and DeSantis gets that better than anyone. Watching him stand up for kids and education so early in Covid -- watching him bring in sane professionals to fight back against the public health fascism (be it school closures or loony indoctrination) -- was a thing to behold. All you have to do is look at the difference between California and Florida these past three years -- one state on the rise, the other, deteriorating before our eyes -- to see his effect.

I said this in another venue, maybe on Twitter, so I might as well say it now. You guys were OUTSTANDING in that segment. Even though I have written for magazine, websites, and all that, when I have been interviewed for TV, I sounded like a moron. You and your partners-in-crime were nuanced, informed, expository, and most of all, human, during the segments that aired. I will admit that I am skeptical of politicians, and in that regard, Ron DeSantis is not my personal panacea. He was, however, exceptional during the Covid dumpster fire. You were absolutely accurate and again, nuanced, on that point both here, and on CNN. Kudos!

Wow. Thank you! That is so kind. Its very difficult to get a point across in sound bytes. even harder to sound human. so this is really appreciated. and i'm sure you didn't sound like a moron. :-)

Our political culture is tribal, issues based, and intent on segmenting the population in order to marginalize voters. Your circle of friends pushes back against that strategy by the media and the political parties. You are more than whatever label that they want to classify you as. Thank you for showing us how to do this.

If anyone is carrying out a "trans kids" genocide, it's the woke transmengele medical-industrial complex mutilating and sterilising them, to which DeSantis is opposed.
