It wasn’t too long ago when politicos predicted Casey DeSantis would boost her husband’s flailing presidential campaign.
But then she started cutting virulently homophobic ads and amplifying the Florida governor’s anti-LGBTQ+ message.
Now, Ron and Casey DeSantis both need to conduct damage control. So naturally, they sat down for a softball interview with Ainsley Earhardt at Fox News!
Unfortunately for them, even friendly questions couldn’t cut through their fake and stiff demeanors. One of the lowlights of the segment came when Casey tried to reclaim her newfound “Walmart Melania” moniker.
It’s apparent the ex-news anchor’s answer was poll tested. She said she’s proud of the nickname, because she does shop at Walmart.
Whatever you say, ma’am.
“One thing the corporate media did get right about me: I do shop at Walmart,” she said. “I think it’s interesting—and you can probably sympathize with this—when they come after and they’re just calling you names, that means they don’t want to litigate the merits of their case. They don’t wanna have that conversation.”
“They wanna call you names, they wanna try to get you to back down. But I can tell you one thing, we will not back down when it comes to our family.”
With Casey now facing criticism, the DeSantis klan has taken to lamenting about how their family is being unfairly maligned. It’s a neat trick. But in reality, the backlash they’re experiencing is all about their hateful beliefs and fear mongering.
The aggrieved couple released anti-LGBTQ+ ads over consecutive weeks, earning widespread condemnation, even from gay Republicans, including George Santos! (You know things are bad when even he’s jumping ship.)
Casey DeSantis’ production, which was filled with homophobic tropes and grossly misrepresented footage from an NYC Pride event, earned her a new nickname: “America’s Karen.”
Hi Casey DeSantis,

We aren’t coming for your kids. We want you to leave our kids alone.
Thanks!
It’s hilarious when people hate you so much, your wife has to campaign for you. Great strategy, DeSantis! LOL!

With rapidly decreasing support, “Meatball Ron’s” presidential campaign seems to be in shambles. Last week, he quietly axed handfuls of his campaign staff. Championing “parental rights,” he and Casey are painting themselves as cultural warriors, sacrificing their own wellbeing for the sake of saving the republic.
“If we can do something to be able to change the trajectory and indeed preserve our American republic, and if we can take one for the team by getting hit on behalf of the people of this country, we’re gonna do it,” said Casey on Fox News.
“We’re gonna fight for your family, we’re gonna fight for our family and we’re gonna fight for America going forward.”
For the DeSantis’, fighting for families is all about about demonizing LGBTQ+ people. Ron recently ejected an LGBTQ+ activist from one of his events, but not before the person unfurled a rainbow flag behind him.
Casey shared the footage on Twitter, probably thinking it would rally her husband’s dwindling base.
Instead, she attracted scorn.
Such a small petty man.

The smiling face of anti-LGBTQ+ activism, we can see through Casey’s martyrdom. A DeSantis staffer once described her as “even more paranoid” than Ron, and that seems to be accurate.
At the least, she’s on equal footing with her gay-hating life partner. It’s hard to embark on a charm offensive without redeemable qualities.
decrans
Is the backlash around their views? Or does it have more to do with Republican voters wanting to anoint Trump? I’d really like a breakdown of evidence as opposed to generalized assumptions on behalf of Queerty every day.
Brian
We’ve seen your comments for months, and you’ve never been an evidence-based person. You post lies about biology, lies about medicine, lies about the environment, lies about history, lies about famous people, lies about average people. No one here thinks you’re measured and rational.
decrans
Lies about biology, Brian? Find me a brain scan that proves transgenderism is real and not an invented concept by narcissists. I’ll wait.
ScottOnEarth
No one is here to educate you. Do you ur own research…and if you seriously have to ask, then you are either willfully ignorant or simply clueless.
decrans
Oh, Scott. Here’s the real. There are AVAILABLE studies, but no CONCLUSIVE studies. Your little line was a cop-out. You don’t want to dig a hole and get out-argued. So you tucked that tail and ran. And if there were CONCLUSIVE studies, the medical establishment would utilize them to suss out the fakers. Instead, we have increasing lawsuits on a weekly basis from a detrans subset. It was a nice attempt, Scott.
Bosch
“Find me a brain scan that proves transgenderism is real and not an invented concept by narcissists.”
It’s already known that transwomen have a high saturation of oestrogen signalling pathway proteins in their brain before transition. The current stage of research is attempting to identify the genes which are responsible for the incongruence between the sex of the brain and the sex of the reproductive system, such as in the following study:
“Implications of the Estrogen Receptor Coactivators SRC1 and SRC2 in the Biological Basis of Gender Incongruence”
Let’s find our how good you are at reading scientific articles.
Bosch
“And if there were CONCLUSIVE studies, the medical establishment would utilize them to suss out the fakers.”
Doctors are incredibly vocal about the validity of trans people, but then individuals like you accuse them of being “woke leftists”.
You invoke “science” in the trans argument, yet you ignore what the actual scientists say.
dbmcvey
Derek aka Ernst Rohm,
Does it have to be one or the other? They could both be true.
decrans
And here comes Bosch’s old chestnut about oestrogen signalling pathway proteins. A fascinating thing happens when you Google oestrogen signalling pathway proteins and transgender studies, though. Exactly zero Google hits come up.
decrans
Oh no, Bosch! A study from UC San Fran, an organization that caters to the LGBTQ demo. “There have been no well-designed studies of the role of progestogens in feminizing hormone regimens.” Whoops. Does it get tiresome making yourself look like a fool repeatedly in comments alongside Abs and Dave Matthews? It must be hard.
decrans
The majority of the studies on the “transgender brain” have a fatal flaw: they didn’t control for confounding variables like cross-sex hormone use and, most importantly, sexual orientation. When a study doesn’t control for confounding variables, it means that the researchers did not take into account other factors that could have affected the results of the study, which make it difficult or impossible to determine whether the relationship between the two variables being studied is truly causal or a byproduct of other unrelated factors. That’s how science works typically. Again, I thought ‘your side” was the side of SCIENCE. Not on this issue, they’re not.
decrans
As far as Dave Matthews or whatever secondhand troll account he uses to mislead people are concerned, I’m going to reiterate this again. That Derek Northcutt commenter used causcianoid. All this time, I’ve used the terms: Latino and Hispanic. I live in a Hispanic-majority town in this hellhole state known as California. I’ve slept with a lot of Hispanic and Latino men in my lifetime. In the midst of sex, I’ve never used the term causcianoid. You know that people can easily invent new handles as evidenced by your multiple handles to make it seem like more people are agreeing with your bankrupt neoliberal ideology. All the while, you whinge and whine about conservative trolls with multiple handles. Your hypocrisy runs like the River Jordan, Dave Matthews.
Bosch
Decrabs, you wanted proof that the transgender brain is different. The study I provided cites previous studies, who also site previous studies, which are all based on the fact that transwomen have a saturation of oestrogen signalling pathways in their brain similar to that of females.
Seven doctors worked on this specific paper. Endocrinologists, neurologists, and psychologists, who devote every single day to understand the human brain and the human body. But no, you know better.
“There have been no well-designed studies of the role of progestogens in feminizing hormone regimens.” this statement has absolutely nothing to do with the brain. It’s as I thought, you don’t know how to read scientific articles, and you discard peer-reviewed research as liberal propaganda.
Dumbass.
Bosch
“Again, I thought ‘your side” was the side of SCIENCE. Not on this issue, they’re not.”
I just handed you a peer reviewed scientific research paper, with measurable, testable, repeatable, and predictable results, and you just look the other way because you think scientists cater to the LGBTQ community.
No dumbass. Scientists cater to research that is measurable, testable, repeatable, and predictable. All these experiments are carried out repeatedly by different teams, because in the scientific community, something isn’t accepted as fact until it’s been observed multiple times, in multiple places.
Bosch
Here decrabs, since your search skills and reading comprehension suck so bad, read the article called “Brain Sex in Transgender Women Is Shifted towards Gender Identity”
It’s simple, clear, new but based in previous research, peer reviewed, and has more reference than you can shake a stick at.
This is science, decrabs. This is how science works. Things are studied over and over again.
Do you know what a null hypothesis is? You’re so intent on disproving these theories, how about you show us the research which demonstrates trans brains are not different. Show us the scientists who have managed to prove that the trans brain and the cis brain are identical.
Bosch
Even easier! An article that does the exact thing that you ask: brains scans.
“The Neuroanatomy of Transgender Identity: Mega-Analytic Findings From the ENIGMA Transgender Persons Working Group”
Huge sample size, visual data. What’s your excuse gonna be this time? Scientists are forging their results for the trans mafia?
decrans
Good God, Bosch. That study you reference is ridden with problematic variables. Here’s the line I find most amusing: The observed shift away from a male-typical brain anatomy towards a female-typical one in people who identify as transgender women suggests a possible underlying neuroanatomical correlate for a female gender identity.”
Refer to my first comment about AVAILABLE studies and no CONCLUSIVE results. A nice attempt. It was good try, baby boy. A solid effort.
Bosch
“The observed shift away from a male-typical brain anatomy towards a female-typical one in people who identify as transgender women suggests a possible underlying neuroanatomical correlate for a female gender identity”
Yes decrabs, that’s how scientific articles are written. They speak in probabilities because it’s impossible to prove that things can’t be disproved. You really did drop out of school, didn’t you?
Bosch
“Refer to my first comment about AVAILABLE studies and no CONCLUSIVE results.”
These articles literally have a section called “conclusion”.
Come on smartass, where’s your research which proves that trans brains are not different from cis brains?
decrans
Oh, sweet little dumbass Bosch. Another interesting quote from the study you cite. ” While this is the largest study of MRI data in transgender persons to date, the analyses conducted were governed (and restricted) by the type of data collected across all participating sites.
Bosch
Yeah decrans, that’s right in the article. How about you tell me what it means?
Bosch
This is silly. You’re repeatedly proving that you don’t understand how to read scientific research. Ouch.
decrans
Hey dumbass Bosch: Where’s the study across multiple variables? You know, like how science is typically conducted. In your own studies you cite, in between the lines, the scientific bodies admit to the lack of variables. Do you have a problem with basic reading comprehension? Read the goddamned studies you cite, Bosch. Read the goddamned studies you cite, dumbass.
Bosch
“Where’s the study across multiple variables? You know, like how science is typically conducted.”
So you don’t know what a “variable” is either.
It’s clear you have no idea how science is conducted.
I’ve provided multiple researches, you’ve provided nothing.
But you just keep acting like you’re winning, ok? Charlie Sheen this conversation. Tiger blood!
Bosch
“in between the lines, the scientific bodies admit to the lack of variables. ”
Every scientific article lists the limitations of the experiment. You’d know that if you’d read any others.
And no, they don’t admit to “lack of variables”. You’re meant to eliminate variables in research and focus on one. All things need to be constant except the thing you’re testing. Duh. That’s the purpose of large sample sizes; to reduce the Poisson noise of the result set.
decrans
Yeah, you’ve submitted studies where the scientists claim restrictions and possible outcomes. Such a win, Bosch. You’re so goddamned smart.
decrans
I have work to do. I don’t have time to chase your stupid fuc–g ass in circles over the definition of POSSIBLE and RESTRICTIONS. Maybe you should check the Z-score on those words?
Bosch
“Yeah, you’ve submitted studies where the scientists claim restrictions and possible outcomes.”
Exactly like every single scientific study out there.
Your stupid is starting to hurt my eyes.
I’ve provided multiple reviewed and repeated studies, you’ve provided nothing. You don’t give a crap about science.
Bosch
“I have work to do. I don’t have time to chase your stupid fuc–g ass in circles over the definition of POSSIBLE and RESTRICTIONS.”
This is how scientific articles are written. Dumbass.
“Maybe you should check the Z-score on those words?”
Oh what a fun callback to that time you pretended to know what a z-score was! I’ll give you a hint: words don’t have them.
decrans
Well moron. If there are peer reviewed studies with conclusive evidence, why aren’t they being used RIGHT NOW to suss out people undergoing a gender crisis? That’s another fun callback. You admitted to people undergoing a gender identity crisis who aren’t really ‘trans.’ In the next sentence, you refused to provide protocols. Such a compassionate fu–ing progressive you are, Bosch. (Golf claps)
Bosch
Because the purpose of research isn’t to gatekeep medical procedures. If an adult wants to transition, they are free to do so.
I have a better question: why do you invoke science as an alibi, and then spit on it when it’s shown to you?
You have yet to provide proof for your viewpoint. Where is it?
Bosch
“Such a compassionate fu–ing progressive you are, Bosch.”
Oh no, a sociopath with borderline personality disorder said I’m not compassionate! I value that opinion so much!
decrans
Here’s another fun quote from an actual scientist who published this in The Lancet: “The “research” that has attempted to locate a biological basis for “gender identity” has been fraught with errors and made sweeping claims unsupported by evidence, Cohn claimed. The studies usually consist of two varieties: that disorders of sexual development (DSD), developmental anomalies that have nothing to do with gender dysphoria, somehow confound the binary nature of sex, and the brain studies of transgender individuals that have been lauded by the media but don’t hold up to empirical scrutiny.
“Brain studies that purport to distinguish objective differences in brains of trans-identified individuals are highly flawed: the differences disappear once confounding factors such as sexual orientation (or exposure to exogenous hormones) are controlled for.”
What do you know, dumbass? Your breathless study lacked that metric. God, you excel at failing so hard on your face debating me. I find it amusing.
decrans
Let’s talk about children. They’re not doing your conclusive brain scans on children, dumbass. And the detrans children lawsuits are growing, baby boy.
Bosch
That’s not a study, that’s an opinion piece.
But I find this part very interesting:
“the differences disappear once confounding factors such as sexual orientation (or exposure to exogenous hormones) are controlled for.”
The studies I provided explicitly control for exogenous hormones. In addition, there has never been an indication that gay men have a higher saturation of oestrogen signalling pathways.
So, if this statement is true, it must be based on a research article. Where is the research article?
decrans
You never answered the question, dumbass. If these scant studies are conclusive and airtight, why aren’t they being rolled out to suss out the trans “faker” children to prevent lawsuits? You refuse to answer that $50,000 question. And once again, I out-argued you. You can kindly take your seat.
Bosch
You failed to mention that the doctor in your opinion piece is from an organisation called SEGM, an anti-trans think tank who’s funding is dependent on the nature of their publications.
That’s not scientific evidence. That’s politics.
Bosch
“why aren’t they being rolled out to suss out the trans “faker” children to prevent lawsuits?”
I’ve looked into these lawsuits. There is one doctor in California who provided sex-hormones to young teenagers. In my opinion, she deserves the lawsuits.
In all other cases, the detransitioners transitioned as adults.
If an adult wants to transition, that is their own responsibility.
decrans
Haha. Thought you’d mention that. Such a predictable little troll. Just like you never mention most of your doctors are engaged in WPATH trans activism. Wouldn’t it be fun to get non-biased data on both sides that would actually help kids in distress? Science as opposed to politics. Children’s lives are at stake on both sides of the equation. Your view to non trans kids deforming themselves is “tough sh-t.” And that’s not compassionate benevolence either. It’s equally warped.
decrans
“If an adult with mental illness wants to deform themselves while psychologists refuse to address the underlying issues, that’s on them.” God, you’re scum. When the next mass shooting occurs, please don’t whinge, whine, piss and moan about it. According to you, we should just shrug as a collective society. What a sack of subterranean sh-t you are, Bosch.
Bosch
“Just like you never mention most of your doctors are engaged in WPATH trans activism.”
WPATH isn’t for activism, and it’s not a think tank. It’s for standardising methodology in trans care. Membership requires a fee, and none of the research I showed you was funded by them.
You asked for proof, I gave you proof from the National Library of Medicine. You have spent all this time trying to discredit the National Library of Medicine. That is how “pro-science” you are.
But, please, go on. As a canvasser, your opinions on neurology are so very valuable.
Bosch
“What a sack of subterranean sh-t you are, Bosch.”
I’m just glad you’re showing your true face.
decrans
WPATH Standards of Care are written and developed by self-appointed experts in the field, and do not use the best standards of examining evidence and writing recommendations, which introduces a high risk of bias. These professionals are themselves interested and invested in the various medical interventions that they recommend, and in demonstrating their own authority. Furthermore, some of the authors of the WPATH Standards of Care may be informed more by political campaigning, rather than bringing experience as healthcare professionals, academics in relevant fields or guideline methodologists. For example, Susie Green of the UK Charity Mermaids has no clinical background, but is helping to write the WPATH chapter on paediatric gender dysphoria for SOCv8.
That should concern you, Bosch. The Mermaids organization is a political arm in the same vein as the LGB without the T organizations in Britain. And with the recent dismissal, the government has indirectly characterized her as such. Not to mention the fact that she has enriched herself off the backs of trans youth. This is the person entrenched in writing policy for trans kids.
So yes, WPATH is activism just the same as the aforementioned organization.
Maybe we should do better by children. You said yourself in admitting legitimacy to the lawsuits by former trans youth.
decrans
It also correlates with Vivek Ramaswamy’s sudden rise in the polls. The supposed ‘backlash’ isn’t coming from Democrats. And the viewpoints of the leading Republican candidates are within the DeSantisian wheelhouse.

I couldn’t agree more. trump is an idiot who engages in corruption and grifting for his own benefit and will parrot any right-wing rhetoric if it gets him votes. DeSantis and his wife are evil, hateful people with a specific mission to do as much damage to certain groups of people as they can. They are essentially shouting from the rooftops about how much they despise Queer and Black people and pretending it’s about family values. It’s simply unbelievable that this is what is happening right in front of the entire country.

Well, Florida ranks No. 1 in economy and education. There’s that. He prioritized Everglades restoration, boosted teacher pay, pardoned the Groveland Four, legalized medical marijuana, galvanized 380,000 more Republican voters in the last election cycle and effectively managed hurricane relief efforts while Biden was MIA for political expediency.
Kangol2
Florida is not #1 in economy and education, Decrans. You just made that up.
California is #1 in economy, with $3.5 trillion GDP. Florida is fourth, after Texas and New York. So that lie is exposed as just that.
Massachusetts is #1 in public education, per Business Insider. “Massachusetts was ranked 1st for pre-k to 12th grade and 29th for higher education.
87.5% of children in the state graduate from high school, well above the national average, while National Assessment of Educational Progress math test scores are 5% higher than the national average.” Florida is #3, and as we already see, DeFascist is gutting public education in the country.
Also, “[he] effectively managed hurricane relief efforts while Biden was MIA for political expediency” is a BLATANT lie. He called upon President Biden’s help, but Biden has repeatedly aided Florida through federal programs, including FEMA to aid Floridians after the last hurricane there!
Why are you such a liar?
decrans
Well, similar to DeSantis acolytes, you have swallowed a press release from Gavin Newsom balls deep. California’s economy widened with major tech industry layoffs, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and decreased income tax revenue collections. Those are the facts, too. Florida is ranked No. 1 in economy for states with a similar size. And with half a million people leaving California for states like Florida, that has further deflated Gavin Newsom’s press release spin.
decrans
“Biden has called other Florida elected officials. He spoke over the phone with Mayor Jane Castor Tampa of Tampa and Mayor Ken Welsh of St. Petersburg — both Democrats — and with Mayor Frank Hibbard, a centrist Republican, of Clearwater.” That is the definition of political expendiency, thank you very much.
decrans
I got my education stats from US World Reports. Different lists and different metrics. The fact remains the same. On most lists, Florida (that godawful wretched state run by toothless deplorables) ranks within the top five. So for all y’all’s bellyaching, pissing and moaning, Florida has a decent education system on most major lists. Facts are facts. Tough sh!+, gang!

Florida ranks 4th for economy according to actual facts from Bureau of Labor and Bureau of Economic Analysis.
1.4 T USD state GDP behind 1. Cali, 2. Texas, 3. New York – Florida accounts for 5.4% of national GDP.
Florida also ranks 10th in worst states for policy, housing and freedom metrics.
Florida ranks 23rd in education, 75.6 of 100, or a grade of C, if you don’t take Florida DOE’s version and look at the actual metrics.
This poster lives in the state, and other than one county, these people are the worst idiots in the nation, other than those in Tennessee.

Florida ranks #1 in education?
According to the tabloid “US News”, which is the first result. What lazy googling.
According to a actual research institutions, Florida ranks in the 40s.
decrans
And what institutions would those be, Mr. Oestrogen Signalling Pathways with Zero Google Results?
decrans
And where do you get US News and World Report is a tabloid? “As reporters and editors, we look at the peer-reviewed evidence and help readers understand the significance of the new information. We evaluate its scientific validity.” You’d have people thinking it’s Star magazine. Did your British brain get confused again?
decrans
The designation of “number one” in higher education by U.S. News and World Report is a part of a broad data set that ranks the “Best States” in several categories, from education and healthcare to crime and the environment. Considering all categories, Florida ranks 13th. among states. For education, there were two rankings, one for K-12 (Florida ranked 27th) and one for higher education (Florida ranked first). Those numbers raise questions about the big difference in rankings for each of the education levels. Combined, Florida’s education rating was third among the 50 states. The top higher ed ranking was based on very specific metrics. Those include the cost of tuition and fees, low debt upon graduating, and the percent of students who graduated with a bachelor’s degree within six years. Unlike the K-12 data, the higher ed metrics did not include key academic factors such as average college entrance exam scores on the ACT or SAT tests and grade point averages in high schools, which could show which kids can get into the Ivy League and other top-ranked colleges and universities.
Bosch
“And what institutions would those be, Mr. Oestrogen Signalling Pathways with Zero Google Results?”
Literally every other result besides “US News”.
You’re trying to insult me with the fact that you don’t know how to find scientific articles? Big brain time.
Bosch
“Those include the cost of tuition and fees, low debt upon graduating, and the percent of students who graduated with a bachelor’s degree within six years.”
I would like you to explain to me how each of these points indicate a high quality of education.
Because to me it just sounds like these universities are cheap and easy.
Which explains why Florida is ranked in the 40s on every other list.

Sarasota Herald Tribune
More than one-third of New College of Florida faculty will not be returning in the fall.
That’s according to Provost Bradley Thiessen, who called the 36 departures in a single year a “ridiculously high” number for a school with fewer than 100 full-time teachers.
Some of those were retirements or sabbaticals that were planned long before the school made national headlines in January, when Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed six trustees with a mission to transform the small liberal arts school.
But many are teachers and researchers who — frustrated and dismayed by the school’s new leadership — saw no other option but to resign or take leave to look for opportunities elsewhere.
Biologist Liz Leininger started looking for a new job the same day the new appointments were announced, and the decision to leave was cemented weeks later when the trustees fired former president Patricia Okker in their first meeting.
“I felt a little guilty to be leaving,” Leininger said. “I want to support New College students, but I told them, ‘I can support you even from afar.’”
Leininger took a job as chairperson of neuroscience at St. Mary’s, a public honors college in Maryland. But with her departure, New College’s neuroscience department shrinks to just one faculty member, down from three the year before.
That leaves students like Alaska Miller, a third-year cognitive science major, with few options. There are no upper-year neuroscience classes offered in the fall, she said. Until the school hires more faculty, it’s impossible for her to move forward with her degree.
“That means either I don’t graduate on time or I’d have to abandon my major,” Miller said. Switching to another field means giving up on her dream of pursuing a graduate degree in neuroscience, and she cannot afford to transfer to another school out of state.
The unprecedented wave of departures has left the New College scrambling. Thank you Gov.

As for DeSantis and wife, they seem like the proverbial flash in the pan as far as Republican presidential politics are concerned, especially now that Murdoch has dumped them. He’ll be out of the primary race soon enough. As the Count of Monte Crisco has said, I don’t even know why he’s running.
As regards DeSantis’ Florida, well I never underestimate the power of Mickey. I’m sure Disney will render him ineffective over time I just hope he can’t do too much more damage in the meantime.

I was dreaming in my dreaming
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleeping it was broken
But my dream it lingered near
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
That the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It’s decreed the people rule
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions
And laying arms
To waste in the dust
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
And the leopard
And the lamb
Lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows a purer view
As I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It’s decreed the people rule
It’s decreed the people rule
Listen
I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the earth’s revolution
We have the power
People have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It’s decreed the people rule
It’s decreed the people rule
We have the power
People have the power
We have the power…

I know conventional wisdom in political circles is that if you have an unpopular candidate you should focus on the wife because people like her better. That’s not the case here.

No one likes a Karen. Favorite FLOTUS in the R column goes to Barbara Bush.

Casey & Ron are the 21st century versions of Eva & Adolph. All horrible, vile people…
