right now as the last 100 days of this midterm election cycle a growing crop of republican politicians had some merged to challenge donald trump s once rock-solid grip on the gop. managing to channel his political example without publicly kissing his ring, or dissing him outright. the presumed front runner in that pack being florida governor ron desantis who over the last year has turned the sunset sunshine state into the epicenter of our cultural wars. in doing so he has built an impressive maga friendly resume, attacking progressive businesses in the state, turning its education system into the political battleground, and conjuring cultural bogeyman to legitimize laws that silence queer experience, lack experience, anything that might offend white conservatives. and it appears to be working, where matters. most money, and momentum. with desantis reported to be supplanting trump as some of the biggest conservative donors, and media outlets appear to be jumping off the trum
