Why the Right Loves DeSantis

DeSantis has never expressed any meaningful opinions on American foreign policy. All we know about his ideas on taxing and spending is that he has not been a budget cutter. He really isn’t a national figure. And yet, he is the second choice of GOP voters, behind only Trump. Why?

Because the one thing the Fox News crowd knows about him is that he consistently harnesses the power of the government to roll back the rights of people on the left. This is owning the libs to an unprecedented degree. That’s what reactionaries really want–not tax cuts and deregulation for businesses, particularly, but not exclusively, of the woke variety.
