Ron DeSantis. <\/p>\n<p><em>Why is he not calling Donald Trump a fathead yet on Twitter? All the women who want him to be accused of being a rapper? Why doesn&#8217;t he change his positions that are popular among voters?!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible for any of these scenarios to become reality at any time, but Republicans rarely have high hopes. The Times must for now focus on DeSantis&#8217; inability to be more easily attacked.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Szalai, Times book critic, has provided a great example. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/27\/books\/review\/ron-desantis-book.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take<\/a> DeSantis&#8217; new book is a huge letdown. &#8220;free of anything that resembles charisma, or a discernible sense of humor.&#8221; DeSantis previously wrote a book called &#8220;The Secret History of the World&#8221;. &#8220;weird and esoteric,&#8221; Szalai was disappointed with the new one. &#8220;reads like a politician&#8217;s memoir churned out by ChatGPT.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Translation: <em>Why was there nothing for me to call racists?!<\/em> <em>Why didn&#8217;t Ron include something easily mocked? &#8220;election denialism&#8221;?!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The book is boring, I&#8217;m sure. The books of political figures are always boring. Trump&#8217;s book is an exception. This is why you&#8217;ve never heard a single line from it quoted elsewhere. That&#8217;s not the problem. 1 problem with a likely presidential candidate who has engaged \u2014\u00a0and won! \u2014 some highly consequential political battles, it seems to be slightly beside the point.<\/p>\n<p>You might consider giving the DeSantis book as a gift to your least favorite spouse. The governor, on the other hand has a strong track record of opposing Democrat-favored societal locksdowns, banning corporate vaccination coercion and steering public institutions away. &#8220;social justice&#8221; Genre &#8220;queer&#8221; These ideologies are the latest fad.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis was also analyzed in a terrible way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/23\/opinion\/desantis-ukraine-shimmy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Last week<\/a> Times by David Brooks. He was genuinely critical of the governor&#8217;s inability to declare a grand-war strategy for Ukraine. After being asked about President Biden, DeSantis had given an interview on TV in which he spoke out on the conflict. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/02\/22\/three-undeniable-truths-from-putins-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Kyiv<\/a>. He expressed concern that it would lead to the U.S. becoming more involved in a war with no clear American interest (fact), and in a manner that could bring us closer to a Third World War (fact).<\/p>\n<p>Brooks acknowledged that Brooks took this position. &#8220;It&#8217;s not clear if DeSantis is for more Ukraine aid or not. No one can quite pin him down. Tippity tap. Tappity tip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bizarre gripe. DeSantis is a high-ranking state leader who has no authority to act outside Florida or in corrupt Eastern European countries. (Russia is no better. His current opinion is meaningless on the matter. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult right now to say unambiguously what we should do for Ukraine. This is because it&#8217;s very hard to fix something that someone else has done. Unresolved foreign conflicts could have been resolved quickly without our involvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s frustrating.
