The Sunshine State governor made a similar comment recently when he warned that Maine’s ruling disqualifying Trump ‘opens up Pandora’s box’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has revealed that he’s “looking” into ways to block President Joe Biden from the 2024 primary ballot in Florida.

“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,” the GOP presidential candidate warned Friday alongside Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX, according to a video posted by CNN. “You could make a case — I’m actually looking at this in Florida now [if we] could we make a credible case” to block Biden from the ballot “because of the invasion of 8 million.”

    Conservatives think any consequences they have is retaliation.

    So they don’t see the difference in this.

    It’s just the lack of empathy, if they do something illegal, they assume everyone else does it too so it’s fine. If they get in trouble, it’s obviously not fair because in their head they’re being singled out.

      God can you imagine Biden saying, “it’s not persecution you dumb fuck, it’s consequences for your actions!”

        Nope.

        And that’s the problem. Biden would never say it because he thinks there’s still a bipartisan future.

          I’d rather our Presidents weakness be “hope for a return to normalcy” than “Putin’s hot gooey load”.
