Ron DeSantis' Time is Up

[hitmouse]

I see the video did get a bit of mention and discussion in the thread, but for anyone who missed it, just to point out that the DeSantis campaign shared a (vile and incredibly bigoted) video that explicitly linked/compared him to Patrick Bateman from American Psycho:

Ron DeSantis, American Psycho

The Florida governor’s irony-poisoned ad uses far-right memes to sanction homophobic and transphobic violence.

Normally, anyone running for public office would not want voters to think of them as having anything in common with a necrophilic cannibal serial killer. But Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, in his increasingly desperate and flailing bid to gain traction in the Republican presidential primary, has made the strange decision to embrace, elevate, and defend an ad where he is likened to Bateman.

"Bateman, for them, belongs to a gallery of idols that … also includes Tyler Durden from Fight Club, Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and Jordan Belfort from The Wolf of Wall Street,” Villalba wrote. “Guys who are outside the system and play ‘by their own rules,’ broken toys on the fringes of society, in an endless battle against a world that is alien and hostile to them.”

Yeah, have a mate who posts those very characters every so often. However, he's not right wing but perhaps a bit damaged by life.

Weird Florida Man keeps stating the US would flatten the Bahamas if they attacked Fort Lauderdale.
