    Wow… even the wrestling fans are turning on him. There are probably more camouflaged hats than brain cells in that arena, and even they know he sucks. Can’t believe we elected this guy twice, and he thought he had a chance at being president….

    Thread started with this totally verified Twitter account link, but you can click through to see the “you suck video”…

    We tried to tell them before the 2022 election but they didn't want to listen

    If he got rid of property taxes they would cheer him at all these events.

    Getting rid of property taxes and raising sales tax to like 20% is not going to be something working class renters are going to cheer about once the reality hits them...

    So why are they saying he sucks? He isn’t MAGA enough?

    Trump is going to be hard to follow because there is no one close to being able to cobble the right wing coalition he has.

    Yeah, this is a tough one.

    Although Desantis clearly sucks, they are booing him because he doesn't necessarily suck enough, or in their particular way. It's fascinating.

    Hopefully he doesn't, but he needs to do what Trump has done: make people simultaneously feel alpha and powerful ...... and totally aggrieved by how unfair everything is to them.

    Like another poster said, it will be a low bar for the next MAGA politicians to stoop down to and crawl under. Maybe the immigrants will be using drugs, and then raping the dogs before eating them?

    That’s what I was going to ask.

    OP assumed a non-zombie level of rationality. That the boo birds are because of the $10 million corruption theft or the property vs sales taxes craziness. More than likely it’s much dumber and cultier, i.e. because he considered running against Trump at one point or didn’t appoint the Trumper to fill the Senate seat.

    More strawman (logical) fallacies?

    Renters can keep more of their tips in The Big Beautiful Bill... And no one said we need to raise the sales tax on the local renters/residences up to 20%, that is your invention. We should increase the hotel/motel taxes on visitors.

    There is ZERO question he would be significantly better at POTUS than Dr. Drool Cup. . . . as would a 3-day old turd.

    But aren't you mad that he didn't give Plastic Surgery Face the Senate seat? You should be. Your hero is.

    He tried to sell himself (correctly) as MAGA with a brain and the brainless completely rejected it.

    LOL!!! God, this fall is going to be beautiful to watch.

    He thinks he's the better person to run "the movement". He's right.

    He wanted to and has repeatedly advocated for it, but the state legislature (primarily Perez, the state speaker, but Ben Albritton in the senate is following right along) has made it his mission to not give Desantis anything. He and his cronies in the legislature are too busy worrying about how to further enrich developers in the state and keep the Florida Sherriff’s Association happy than to do meaningful things for their constituents.

    I'm an old school wrestling fan, so my opinion may be out of date. I just can't see wrestling fans today showing up to debate tax policy.

    Maybe they just want him to get into the ring?

    Scratch that. Governor Ventura got booed plenty, granted he was a heel. Those were love boos though. Noone ever questioned his elite intellect. heh heh

    Number two in education? LOL!
    This is higher education, not K thru 12. You know, college education, the type of education that MAGA despises and abuses. And the high academic quality is due to the research that is done and to the international students that they attract. You know, the people Trump, Desantis, and MAGA ilk want to deport.
