“Ultra-woke” would actually be a different charge than the old charge of “Socialist!” which implied old-left government controls on the economy, a welfare state, etc. In fact many old school libs are appalled by the woke trends Lind discusses. That’d be the point. Might not work. https://t.co/NQPg6clNAW

Also if they get DeSantis to say ‘willing workers should be free to come to US if they have an job offer.”
Kochies undermined Trump via people like Marc Short who had no enthusiasm for Trump’s agenda but whom Trump foolishly hired. Will they destroy DeSantis on the launch pad? https://t.co/KKK3r9yb6G

As someone currently projecting all my hopes and dreams onto @RonDeSantisFL, the obvious question is whether he could pull something like Lind’s coalition together. Specifically, is he free of GWBush-era foreign policy utopianism? Somebody please check https://t.co/cz9CVzvF0c
