I was talking about conservatives active online. To a close approximation they’re all trolls. I’ve been doing this since the early 90s and it’s always been that way. The civil ones just repeat the lies with less confrontational words. Instead of “Trump won” they say “doubts about election integrity.”

The coming Republican dog fight will be interesting. DeSantis may be more effective in pushing Trump aside than any Democrat. The MAGA Trumpsters are more vocal on-line, but he may have less appeal than people think. Trump's greatest strength is progressives. If the more liberal Democrats can push the progressives aside it will be hard to elect a Republican. I didn't even vote in the midterms. I would have just written in no acceptable candidate on all of them.
I agree that the woke shit is a real danger. Nominally liberal parents will vote Republican to protect their kids from the surgeons and even aside from the malignant "trans" shit, there is the politically potent Annoying Factor. I get equality and fairness, I don't see any point in this inclusion and gender-neutrality nonsense.
What will kill DeSantis is the camera. He is a deeply unlikeable guy and he's just too extreme in his intolerance and desire for control.
Trump has gone batshit crazy, first losing the election and then all the legal troubles. When someone finally gets around to slapping the cuffs on him he's going to literally go nuts.
