God help us if nazi desantis charms his way to the presidency. SURELY, the National Democratic Party is letting floriduh burn as an example of what the nation would look like.

As far as I can tell there has been no situation in which DeSantis has exhibited even the tiniest amount of charm--certainly not in public. It's rather doubtful that he has any charm at all.
Well, I agree about the general Republican psychopathy, but charm does have a role to play.
Charm and charisma have much to do with wooing voters--especially the emotional MAGA crowd. Trump has ensnared his cultists by identifying with them, voicing his grievances which have become their own and placing himself on their side, at least, in their mind. Trump's singular talent is a charismatic connection with his worshippers and DeSantis definitely doesn't have enough charm or charisma to fill a thimble. I think he will strike out with with the voters outside of Floridastan.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. And that is because so many of his gang are so much in need of either a father figure, or a mother who was perhaps also not really there... exactly what he had growing up. So they do indeed agree with and gravitate toward him for that reason.
Thank you for your well put comment.
And yes, DeSantis is devoid of any warmth or charm. So I wonder if that could also be a draw for certain dysfunctional thinking and behavior.
I am connecting the emotional state of so many of our citizens from so much manipulation and lack of emotional maturity.
It has been a long time building and may just be coming to a pinnacle of dysfunction. What a time we live in.
I am not so sure but I certainly hope you would be right.
DeSatan does not have the charisma (if you can call it that) and we do not know who will be running yet. It may even be more than 2 parties. And that would not surprise me.
Lynn, Meatball is going nowhere fast here. Lots of smoke, some thunder, he is past his tipping point. The trump wave is cresting, yes, still visible and viable though, as time leaves them in its wake.. As for wake, or WOKE, if you will, Trump awakened us to the existence of so many of our fellow Americans we were unaware, had simply never acquired desire, or ability to think fully for themselves. Authoritarian bully leaders are a perfect fit for them, it seems. Cognitively, and developmentally, America trudges forward with so many folks lost as ever as modern life speeds up every passing moment, while they remain lost.
Yes. I just read a quote from a lower-level Nazi officer who was given a special assignment personally by Hitler (it wasto find Mussolini before the partisans hung him -- the officer was unsuccessful, obviously), who claimed that Hitler was magnetic, charming and when he asked you to do something, you forgot all of your misgivings.
Personally, I think Florida will suffer in the financials department. No one wants to go to a state where they might get killed. Tourism could drop exponentially and we could see many more people suffering of low income and worse, bad healthcare. Just my two cents.

I have read similar descriptions of diSantis’ visage and presentation - rather stiff with little expression of empathy or compassion.
Then, I think of President Obama. What a guy!
Yes, but charm has nothing to do with, nor does it benefit, his aims and goals. He is most likely as psychopathic as others in his party.

The hard-core MAGAs will accept no substitute. DeSantis may get the nomination, but won't capture the MAGA votes. Party split. Dems get 4 more years.

Perfectly describes R in MT & the current State legislation & legislators
There seems to be nothing charming about DeSantis. Non charmers don't charm so we can take this off the table.
Was Hitler charming?
Yes. I just read a quote from a lower-level Nazi officer who was given a special assignment personally by Hitler (it wasto find Mussolini before the partisans hung him -- the officer was unsuccessful, obviously), who claimed that Hitler was magnetic, charming and when he asked you to do something, you forgot all of your misgivings.
