| Republicanmania 2024: Psychopath vs. Psychopath |
I am notoriously bad at political predictions (as Sarah Palin, 2012 republican Presidential nominee, and Hillary Clinton, landslide winner of the 2016 Presidential Election, will readily attest), but if Ron DeSantis continues to show good numbers head to head against Donald Trump for the republican Presidential nomination in 2024 (admittedly a big if) I could easily see republicans currently showing fealty to Trump who know Trump is an incompetent boob (McConnell, McCarthy, Cornyn, et al) throwing their support to DeSantis in hopes of finishing off Trump once and for all. While both men are clearly psychopathic, DeSantis isn't nearly the idiot Trump is, and once Trump's followers see DeSantis is just as big of a racist asshole as Trump is, they'll be happy.
Throw in the fact that as time marches on and Trump's cult begins to realize that Trump isn't going to lead the Gestapo back into the White House and Joe Biden is going to be President until at least January 20, 2025, and their bitter disappointment at his failure to retake the Presidency might just be enough to end Trump's political career. It's also really hard to believe that big money boys like the Koch family wouldn't much prefer DeSantis to a boor such as Trump.
Time will tell, of course--I'd still bet on Trump (if his health holds out), but stupid people don't tend to play the long game and if DeSantis shows more strength and Trump shows more weakness (at least in the eyes of the republican base), all bets will be off.
Either candidate, though, will still be an utter fucking disaster for America.
