George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
DeSantis is shaking up his campaign staff for a third time, this time getting rid of his campaign manager.
It’s not going to help. The problem isn’t them. It’s him.
People just don’t like him.

I wish that were the case.

However, the potential DeSantis supporters really, Really, REALLY do like one particular fascist.

You know you are bad with people when you pander to right wing donors with everything they want to hear, but they will donate money to you because of the lousy way you treated them.

He's going to try all the iterations of "how openly racist and authoritarian do I need to be to capture this base" because he doesn't realize that most people actively dislike racist authoritarians. Those voters that don't care have already hitched their wagons to a different conman.

"The reason evil always fails is that, after a short while, no one is pure enough.

If evil is based upon loyalty, and loyalty becomes the ruler, some will be found not loyal enough.

If evil is based upon greed, and greed becomes the ruler, some will be found not greedy enough.

If evil is based upon cruelty, and cruelty becomes the ruler, some will be found not cruel enough.

If evil is based upon religion, and religion becomes the ruler, some will be judged not religious enough.

If evil is based upon bigotry, and bigotry becomes the ruler, some will be judged not bigoted enough.

And on it goes, to the deepest depth of absurdity itself.

That's why humanity and compassion prevail, as they’re what save us, in eternal and overwhelming abundance."

@georgetakei correction. People outside FL. Afterall he was elected by them 2 times. Apparently FL has no taste in humans. They elected one that has no honor, values or loyalty to the constitution. We do not want him in the US, let Fl of Germany keep him.

"Hello. Welcome to the Presidential Campaign Help Center. Hello Mr. DeSantis! Oh? It's pronounced "DeeSantis?" Thank you. I'll put a note in your file. How can we help you today? You want to reboot your campaign? Again? Of course, sir. The customer is autocratically, I mean automatically right, sir. Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again? Uh huh. I see. The problem appears to be that you're turning off the voters instead. Try tying a McRib around your neck."

@georgetakei Really hope he doesn’t back into the Republican nomination since that would hasten the fall of Democracy in America, but that also means we’ll have a pissed off DeSantis along with his insanity as Gov in FL for two more years, I don’t think we can survive his BS for that long!!
