    The campaign slogan writes itself.

    Ron DeSantis: Putting Satanic chaplains in our schools since 2024

    I’m sure his base will love that.

        Nah, they modern day republican base operates on dog whistles. Near the next election, the Satanic Temple just needs to come out and thank DeSantis for his support with their effort on child outreach and how it wouldn’t have been possible without DeSantis fighting for and passing the new laws.

          Fuck, I think you’re right. Progressives and libs seem to try to fight “conservatism” (fascism) using the same processes progressives themselves tend to value and support: communication, compromise, empathy, rationality, etc. They/we aren’t perfect, but we as a group at least have some who tend to try.

          Why the fuck aren’t we also engaging like a bunch of degenerate apes when battling against christofascism? It’s all “strong man right and good, weak man wrong and cuck” with them. Why don’t we “out strong man” them? Trump has already shown us you don’t actually have to be strong for them to perceive you as such, you just have to brag and bluster, like a yappy little dog.
