I missed this oldie but goodie its first time around, but it’s still solid gold.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — In an exclusive interview with The Federalist, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis challenged the right to take a proactive stance on cultural issues, not just a defensive one.
“Do you want to be the Harlem Globetrotters or do you want to be the Washington Generals? D.C. Republicans, a lot of them are my friends, but they’re like lovable losers,” he said. “They let the corporate media define the narrative and it’s like trying to fight your way out of a wet paper bag. You have to reject these narratives.”
Recognizing Americans who “aren’t captive to the Acela corridor or the far left coast,” DeSantis noted a hunger for strong and active conservative leadership. “If all you’re doing is, the Democrats propose $2 trillion in infrastructure [legislation], so we say we’ll do $1.5 trillion, that’s not going to animate anybody,” he said. “That’s just Me Too Republicanism and ultimately that’s not going to be successful.”
While so many Americans feel they’re on the defensive against an onslaught of cultural threats to their faith, families, and patriotism, DeSantis encouraged them to fight back. “The goal is not to just lose ground more slowly,” he said. “The goal is to regain ground in an offensive direction.”
“This last year was a fundamental test [for the Republican Party] about leading against lockdowns and leading to get kids in school and leading to make sure people weren’t under the yoke of oppressive regulations,” said the governor, noting his lawsuit against the federal Center for Disease Control over its attempt to force the cruise industry to require vaccine passports from passengers. “We are going to pry open every portion of this country one way or another.”
Plenty more where that came from, folks. Don’t miss a single scrumptious word, you’re gonna love it.
Lovable Losers isn’t what I’d call them. Politically though it’s a smart move. But he got the Washington Generals part right and that is telling.
Because in the end the “Lovable Losers” part of the Washington Generals was all an act. They were part of the show. Paid to lose in a “loveable losers way”.
I have to give him credit for that. Well played Sir Ron. Well played indeed.
“Paid to lose in a “loveable losers way”.”
Sounds like the R party…
DeSantis would be good and that’s why the rinos won’t let it happen. IMHO the rinos do more coke than the commies
