To the extent DeSantis popular, it's only because he says and does things to "own the libs." He isn't a good speaker, he isn't charismatic, and he doesn't have actual ideas for accomplishing anything.
The people who end up voting for him in the primaries will be the ones who simply want to piss off liberals, but figure Trump will be in jail.
I think his critical mistake was trying to out-Trump Trump. He will never be a better Trump than Trump. He had a chance to be a more moderate and "acceptable" version of Trump. But he went way too far to the right where even other Republicans are criticizing some of the Florida laws. Like for example banning AP Psychology or putting PragerU videos in the official curriculum.
Unfortunately my mom is a big supporter of his. I don't understand how such a kind woman can see him as anything other than an utter disgrace
It's hard to align "kind" with supporting DeSantis policies. Is she a one-issue voter who looks at something like abortion and dismisses everything else? Because the guy is responsible for a lot of suffering.
She used to be, but it seems that the harder the gop goes for fascism, and the more fox lies... well she's not who she used to be
