How Soon Until Faux-Conservatives Proclaim DeSantis (and Youngkin) To Be Too “Exhausting”?

Are you exhausted yet with all the scandals and controversy surrounding Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida?
 
Or how about Governor Glenn Youngkin in Virginia? From his controversial campaign to his mishandling of the I-95 snowstorm, aren’t you just exhausted? Now to be fair, Youngkin hasn’t actually been sworn in yet as Governor, but you have to admit his future tenure is already shaping up to be exhausting.
 
I jest. But only because it is quite clear which playbook political-media leftists and faux-conservatives are following to try to destabilize prominent GOP Governors.
 
In November 2019 I wrote a piece about the evergreen complaint that Republican Presidents are just too “exhausting,” and how faux-conservative pundits were using the “exhausting” angle to weaken Trump’s successful presidency.
 

 
Is Trump’s Presidency More “Exhausting” Than Reagan’s Presidency? (Ace of Spades HQ – Nov 2019)

A recent meme among allegedly conservative pundits is that they are *exhausted* from covering the Trump presidency. With a heavy heart, they state that the exhausting nature of Trump’s presidency is not sustainable, and therefore something must change.

I won’t bother going into great detail about the left’s DeSantis derangement syndrome, but one example is Jen Psaki stating last week that DeSantis has been “not exactly advocating for people in his state to get vaccinated.” Of course that’s false, but it creates an air of controversy around him. By contrast, after vaccines rolled out, 60 Minutes did a hit piece on DeSantis, accusing him of corruption for trying to get vaccines to grocery stores that could vaccinate senior citizens, his most loyal constituency.
 

 
The stories that the left is pushing about DeSantis may be false, but aren’t you exhausted by all the controversy surrounding him? Surely there is someone like Jeb or Nikki who is less controversial and less exhausting, right?
 
We all had a good laugh at “conservative” Jonah Goldberg this week for his ignorant tweet trying to blame the I-95 traffic jam in Virginia on Glenn Youngkin, the Republican Governor-elect. All the mockery and insults hurled at Jonah were well-deserved, but the critical point is that he never got around to criticizing the actual Governor, who is a Democrat.

FOX News was as complicit or at least okay with the rigged election against Trump.

The FOX/CNN racket is the same coin, different sides.

We all had a good laugh at “conservative” Jonah Goldberg this week for his ignorant tweet trying to blame the I-95 traffic jam in Virginia on Glenn Youngkin, the Republican Governor-elect.

As was the case before, in all the invented “scandals” when it was found the accusations were totally misguided, the “scandal” wasn’t so bad after all. In this case, when it was clear Youngkin can’t be held accountable for thousands of people stranded on the frozen wasteland of I-95, it was no longer scandalous. Northam was allowed to simply declare it impossible to help anyone because… well, it’s cold outside.

Democrats have to invent their “exhaustive” scandals.

January 31. 2022 – ‘Free to do as you are told’: Florida Republicans advance wave of draconian bills

It has been a long and painful month in the Florida legislature for opponents of the state’s Trumpist governor Ron DeSantis and his loyal band of rightwing Republicans. A slew of bills has advanced attacking everything from diversity rightsabortion protections and free speech in schools, in addition to a proposal that would legally shield white people from feeling “discomfort” over the state’s racist past.

And last Wednesday, an anti-masker physician, hand picked by the governor and apathetic about the value of Covid-19 vaccines, was backed unanimously by a Republican senate panel as the next surgeon-general following a walk-out by Democratic politicians frustrated by Joseph Ladapo’s evasiveness.

To hear DeSantis tell it, the “freedom state” of Florida is merely following the will of a populist citizenry in defying the perceived tyranny of the federal government, determined to protect liberty in the face of a deadly pandemic that has claimed more than 64,000 of their fellow residents, and standing up against the “indoctrination” of children.

Yet as the possible 2024 presidential candidate presses ahead with turning Florida into what critics see as his own conservative fiefdom – a de facto Trumpistan of the south with an “Orwellian-sounding” election police force – DeSantis is finding opposition beginning to harden.

More of the state’s 21 million people, which elected him in 2018 by barely 32,000 votes, appears displeased at the creeping authoritarianism and is keen to show DeSantis – who will be seeking re-election in November – that Florida is not the solidly red state he believes it to be.

Those voices come from parents, doctors, LBGTQ+ activists, proponents of voting rights and others who will be affected if many of the Republican bills, as expected, become law.

“People do not like the authoritarian nature of this governor and the way that he has weaponized fear between his constituents to try to curry favor with his base,” said Brandon Wolf, development manager and spokesperson for Equality Florida…

Masks are useless. Even your California liberal elitists admit it. Every notable liberal at the NFC championship game in LA last night was photographed maskless (or wearing it on his chin like DiCaprio), in CLEAR VIOLATION OF LA LAW. When your lying, hypocritical, dictatorial leftist leadership elite begin taking their own rules seriously, get back with us.

Meanwhile, SHUT THE F**K UP.

The are anecdotal instances where the so called vaccines and boosters are actuality causing death. Is that the long term desire of the left. Is this the party of Davos, the great reset and george soros intent?

Meanwhile, SHUT THE F**K UP.

What? I expected “Let’s Go, Brandon!”

So, you can’t address your most worshipful Democrat leaders who impose mandates but ignore them the first chance they get? THAT’s how important masks are; impose on thee, not on me. Democrats are power mad and shouldn’t have any over anyone.

F**k Joe Biden. We don’t need no “Let’s go Brandon” here. We know what we mean.

Who wrote this? Hahahaha.

Look. Dems are acting totalitarian, Orwellian, and autocratically.

No DeSantis.

Oh yeah dictitorial, You will have choice and if you dont like to make your own decisions we will put you before a firing squad. No employers you cant make medical decisions for the people of Florida, we need nurses, firefighters, police, waiters, janitors and everyone else that doesnt want to be part of one of Fauchis deadly lab experiments, Floridians dont have to be a beagle or HIV orphan.

The State dictating that a woman must give birth against her will is about as totalitarian as it gets. In doing so, they take away her sovereign authority over her own body.

So then why don’t we just prosecute the woman for killing an unborn human and let her suffer the consequences of her independently made decisions and actions?

Nah, I’m sure you would rather support those like Kermit Gosnell who didn’t mind pulling babies, piece by piece, arm by leg, from their mother’s womb. Maybe you can find another sick mind like Gosnell and ask him to give you baby feet to store in your own jar. Or do you prefer the skull crushing technique?

Death and taxes; describes perfectly your political party.

Did she get pregnant against her will? Murder is illegal.
