Trump or DeSantis: Both Threats to the Constitution, Nation, and Public as a Whole

Two out touch GOP Snake Oil salesmen 
(Will the public buy their radicalized offerings

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is truly out of his mind as he seeks to totally wreck the country and to remake it on his terms as seeks a win in 2024. He is a one-man show and in many ways worse than Trump. 

What do we call that? Oh, yeah, DICTATOR and I see that in this his latest wild statement: “We need to fundamentally re-constitutionalize the government.”

He now offers a whole new set of perhaps his craziest ideas or proposals ever seen in this eye-popping story headline from NBC NEWS:

“Ron DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president”

The Florida Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce, Energy, and the IRS.

Background: DeSantis on Wednesday (June 28) said in an interview with FOX News with Martha MacCallum when asked whether he favored closing any agencies. He said that if he is elected president he would seek to close four federal agencies (listed above) as part of an effort to reduce the size of government.

He further said:If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government. If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life.”

I note: Then turn us into some form of DeSantis national “rightism” under a one-man Mercenary leader with his own LLC: “DeSantis La-La Country” and with a brand new Constitution that he envisions, I suppose.

While Trump hasn't said he would try to eliminate the Education Department if he is elected in 2024, he has proposed eliminating federal funding for “any school or program why pushing Critical Race Theory, gender ideology or other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto our children.”

DeSantis said:We talked about draining the swamp in 2016 and that didn’t happen. I think the better analogy is breaking the swamp.”

It wasn't the first time DeSantis has floated the idea of doing away with the IRS, a frequent target of Republicans

On The Dana Show last month, DeSantis called the IRS a “corrupt organization” when radio host Dana Loesch asked him whether he would sign a measure to abolish the agency. 

He said:The answer is yes. We need something totally different.”

This same story is covered on most major media networks like: 

1. The Hill: DeSantis suggests he would eliminate Federal Agencies

2. MSNBC: DeSantis pitches plan to eliminate four Fed Agencies

3. The Daily Beast: DeSantis Outlines Plan to Eliminate Agencies

4. Yahoo News: DeSantis says he would eliminate four Federal Agencies

5. The Guardian: DeSantis says he would eliminate IRS and others     

My 2 Cents: I don’t know how to more precisely express my view of DeSantis, but his own words, proposals, actions already in place in FL and such do it for me and all rational persons: The man is a serious clear and present danger to our entire system of life, democracy, and well freedoms as a nation.

All the while pitiful DeSantis tries to “out Trump, Trump” and Trump keeps “relabeling” him which is Trump’s childish M.O.

DeSantis (or Trump) must never ever be elected or (reelected) president – both are menaces to society and to common sense decency.

The latest from DeSantis from other GOP candidates against, or for Trump in 2024 plainly shows a frightening trend in this “new” GOP in a very dangerous way to our very existence.

That is NOT hyperbole on my part either. At least for fair-minded rational thinking people who follow them in a logical way.

Those two truly scare me and folks, as a 30-year retired combat Marine I don’t scare easily, but now I am – those two are the worse of worst.

Our only recourse is a massive voter turn out to ensure that the Trump and DeSantis and others like them seeking higher office now are not allowed to serve our country the way they are proposing … so, say make your vote your voice and make it count to save the country from their control.

Thanks for stopping by.
