Hi everybody!

New DeSantis video just dropped. Oh. They tried to delete it but OOPS! This is the internet.

A few points of interest:

Yes there is a ton of hate aimed at our most at-risk citizens

Yes that’s a sonnenrad: a Nazi symbol over Florida’s flag

Yes those are armed soldiers marching toward it

We call you guys Nazis…because you’re Nazis.

@flexghost Do you know where this was posted and who originally made it?

I'm extra mad because it uses a song from my favorite singer (Meg Myers covering Kate Bush) and she's definitely not part of that crap.

@InorganicFella he has videos made in house for his ego. A staffer shared it then deleted

@flexghost @JJKrawczyk And though there is some truth to horseshoe theory in some cases, Meg Myers is a California hippy with two cats who sings about love and equality. She's pretty far away from any of the republican crap.

@flexghost @JJKrawczyk @InorganicFella right? She and Joni Mitchell. Maybe that's why they're my two favorites.

Bringing it all together-- Kate's song "Heads We're Dancing", about a woman being charmed by a stranger one night and later learning he was hitler, was inspired by her own friend meeting a charming man and later learning he was Oppenheimer.

Show threadflexghost.Jul 24, 2023

@tracingcovid

It was first shared by an account called Ron DeSantis Fancams. A Ron DeSantis staffer retweeted it. Now, Ron DeSantis has some of his staffers create videos purely for his own ego. No sign if this was made in house or by a fan.

Show threadAxe AkaneJul 25, 2023
@flexghost @tracingcovid I would say that odds are that someone from a 4chan made it as a fan. I have a hard time believing that DeSantis actually paid for someone to make this as there's enough crazy people who do this kind of thing for kicks.

@AxeAkane @flexghost Wow-not-wow, but "the DeSantis campaign fired a staffer who made a campaign video, laced it with far right and Nazi imagery and then farmed it out to a fan site to obscure that it was produced by the campaign." https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/crypto-fascists-and-dead-bounce-rons-speed-bumps-on-the-way-to-oblivion
