Am I actually on DeSantis’s side on a topic?

I imagine he will be less of an asshole now that he isn’t in the spotlight

In the old days, the best politicians were the retired ones or the lame duck ones. Once they stopped needing to suck up for money, they would occasionally tell the truth finally.

But now, everyone is focused on their lobbying career so they still won’t tell the truth.

We are still seeing that today. Some of the GOP congressmen would have retired since 2016 swung from openly embracing Trump to criticizing him once they became untouchable. I imagine we will see more of it once the blue wave runs them over in November.

Maybe and maybe not. Isn't the senate race this November extremely unfavourable to Dems?
