Well now that's really interesting. Glowies gonna glow, I guess.

Eh, they are 'close enough for government work'; those who control the nukes/planes/large arms and the intel agencies controls the nation and whatever power that nation has. You come at this from a too philosophical and less practical point of view; power is force and the ability to use it...

If universities were 'home soil' and beyond saving, the Left would not try to shut down so many conservative speakers when they come for events. This law is designed so no one can harass and 'heckler's veto' invited speakers without getting charged themselves. Also, this law only covers...

Well, they used to be more balanced before the Left realized they could use a heckler's veto to shutdown conservative speakers and events. Which is what this bill seems to be aiming to address; the uneven standards applied to Left vs Right events and causes on campus's, removing the Left's edge...

Yeah, there are a lot of people blowing this up into something it is not, and treating this a 'grovelling to 'da Jews' for help/approval' because of where he signed it. As I said before, this has all the hallmarks of a tempest in a teapot designed and manipulated to throw shade on DeSantis...

The law seems mostly aimed at disrupting people, on both sides, who want to go to college campus's and raise a ruckus about any cause enough to cause speaker cancellation or intimidation of the student body. So really a law designed to remove the 'heckler's veto' tactic the Left loves to use on...

See, I don't see how this law is supposed to be such a horrible thing. I see a lot of people telling me it's horrible for vague and nebulous reasons I don't necessarily agree apply, and assuming I think Styx's take is on-point. Frankly it seems like a tempest in a teapot designed to attempt to...

Wow, complaining about 'da Jews' and DeSantis 'protecting' them; real mask off moment. The only delusional one here is you, @Sobek, if you truly think DeSantis is a commie or RINO for this move. This is why the Left keeps winning the culture war; the Right is more often too retarded to...

...I've seen better, and he has way more blindspots than just that. Best political analysis I've seen is usually Dave Chappelle/Joe Rogan conversations. They've done enough shrooms and weed they don't got any blindspots left.

Yeah, Styx is...hardly worth listening to, he obviously doesn't bother to research much of what he talks about, and seems like a low energy Razorfist that isn't even Tim Pool levels of willing to do serious background research, instead of just looking at media soundbites.

So this is the former deputy director of the CIA admitting to election interference in coordination with the Biden Campaign in Congressional testimony.

Yep, the margin in the Georgia race was such that the Libertarian votes were enough to be a deciding factor. Pretty sure they spoiled another race as well, just forget if it was one of the AZ races, or one of the one's in New England. I may not agree with all their politics, but I cannot deny...

They can and have played spoiler for Dems against the GOP before, do have/hold local office in a larger and larger amount of states, and Trump did manage to get a lot of Libertarian backing in 2016. You may not like their politics, but in fair elections Libertarians are often part of that swing...

Wasn't Rand Paul in that primary; he might have been able to do what Trump did. Cruz and Rubio may have kept some Never-Trumpers on board, however...I'm not sure either of them would have flipped Michigan and Wisconsin. Paul might have been able to flip those, like Trump did, while onboarding...

I have thought, and guess what, 90% of what Trump did/tried to do either didn't stick after he left, or was never effective to begin with. And SCOTUS was less Trump and more Graham and McConnell. Trump was only good as a bull in a china chop that made the elite and Dems drop the mask on...

See, part of me thinks a large part of the Right would rather lose and stay oppressed and out of power, than admit they need the middle more than the middle needs them. It's part of the reason for the hate on DeSantis; he isn't Trump and isn't an accerationists wet dream, he's someone who might...

Which is why primary appeal should never be mistaken for general election chances, and why the people who vote in primaries need to think about the general election when the nominate people, not just the 'preaching to the choir' crowd's desires. Thinking of it as 'against Trump', instead of as...

See, I think a lot of the GOP establishment liked Trump's politics, but hated his personality, and DeSantis gives them and the GOP as a whole pretty much all of Trump's upsides, without his baggage, and with experience actually governing a state that has resisted and fought back against wokeness...

There are more registered independents than members of either the GOP or Dem party, and their vote still counts and often live in the swing areas as well. Losing a few votes in deep red areas that are safe anyway hurts electoral chances less than alienating key swing voters in the middle and in...

The GOP establishment doesn't want Trump to run, the Dem establishment does; Trump alienates a lot of the middle, while DeSantis doesn't, and the GOP establishment likes DeSantis because he has most of Trump's upsides, without Trump's baggage.
