Can we talk about the many flip-flops of “JD”? Everyone else’s past views are fair game, but we are to totally ignore everything “JD” ever said or did prior to 2022?

Agreed. Politicians are all slippery as part of their profession, so other character traits become more important than honesty. In my opinion, Desantis is more charismatic than JD and seems more competent, so hopefully he can effect more of the change I want to see. Wanting a politician to be personally trustworthy is probably a lost cause tbh.

People can change their minds, even have complete paradigm shifts. Jim Kunstler, Megyn Kelly, Lara Logan, Tulsi Gabbard all left the liberal reservation. Lindsey Graham by contrast was always a callow opportunist.

One reason I knew my state wasn’t going to flip Blue was because I knew DeSantis was going to be the cornerstone of the GOP establishment’s post-Trump plans. Like clockwork.

Desantis was painted as pro lockdown during the primaries so he probably learned reality matters less than what voters are led to believe
