Ron DeSantis’s Campaign Meltdown

So Ron DeSantis made his big announcement last week. (Yawn). He bizarrely chose to do it on an obscure feature of a small, increasingly irrelevant and perhaps even dying social media app while being utterly overshadowed by an erratic, conspiracy-spewing, sexist and racist-trope-tweeting megalomaniac billionaire whose masturbatory live-stream ended up with a massive case of glitchy electile-dysfunction.

“DeSanctous (as Trump strangely calls him), appeared like a small, meandering MAGAt suffering a bad case of woke-mind-virus. His big pronouncement, on Twitter Spaces at the behest of the new King of Conservative Media and Rupert Murdoch-wannabe Elon Musk, began with a humiliating dead-air filled delay of about 25 minutes with Musk’s embarrassing hot-mic attempts to excuse his platform’s technological shitshow because of “server capability”. It was so bad they had to pull the plug and start over. At its peak it drew just 300,000 listeners, a fraction of those who watched April the giraffe giving birth.

As expected, the media pounced. The New York Times called DeSantis’s announcement a “fiasco.”NPR called it a “disaster”. The Washington Post called it “awkward”. NBC News labeled it a ‘meltdown.’ Politico said it was “horrendous.” Even Fox News called it a “glitchy launch”.
