    DeSantis literally said that if elected president he will “destroy leftism”. Wtf does that even mean dude? How, what policy, what exactly will you do?

      It means nothing, it’s feelings, like all of this other culture war bullshit.
      However, that doesn’t mean he won’t try, like what we’ve seen with Disney, FL schools, etc. If you consider people who vote/voted for Democrats (a center-right party in the grand-scheme of things), who have won the popular vote in 5/6 most recent presidential elections, as leftists then you are considering the majority of Americans as enemies that need to be ‘destroyed’.
      As you said, what the fuck does he actually intend by that? Does any pro-Desantis chucklefuck think that America could even stand, much less maintain their standard of living by “destroying” over half of the population?

        He will target LBGT and minorities. Those will be considered “woke” or “leftists”. Once he “destroys” them then the rest will fall in line like it was Nazi Germany.

        You just summed up Republican party policy for the last ~14 years at least.
