Why would conservatives vote for DeSantis?
Serious question. DeSantis has done more than any other candidate or recent president to increase the power of the state over individual rights and no one seems to care. Is conservative ideology changed in terms of using the state to enforce it’s desired social outcome?
The book is still open on DeSantis AFAIC. I don't know about the individual rights thing you claim, but I've seen and heard a lot of things I like about the guy, for instance, his getting Disney under wraps. His proclivity for asserting State dominance over federal control. He also seems a pretty good thinker and speaker on his feet compared to others in the GOP. Frankly my original thought a year ago was for him to be Trump's VP, but that ship seems to have failed. So right now, while there is a lot about Trump which bears improving and DeSantis will be an ongoing study as I learn more about him, either of these two men right now seem the best the GOP has to offer, which is to say, by the record and increasingly bad direction the entire democrat party has been heading for years, makes them the best, only choices in the foreseeable future.
