To compare him to DeSantis is utterly insane and let's me know not to take you seriously

If you think Desantis is insane, you're kidding yourself. He's essentially the Tucker Carlson of actual politics. He understands what his base wants and uses it, but is completely different behind closed doors. He might be a manipulative asshole, but he's far from crazy.

Murphy is the exact same liar. He calls himself a progressive and capitalist in the same sentence, while quietly letting huge tax breaks go back into effect:

I'm even conflicted as to who is more dangerous...or maybe it's pointless to compare the danger between a wolf and a lion. Desantis clearly has a war on the marginalized, but Murphy is part of the ultra-wealthy that has been fighting a war against the middle class for decades. Both have increased misery in the country by untold amounts.

I never said DeSantis is insane. I said the act of comparing the two is.

Edit* just to add, you typed all of that without even really reading what I typed. Kinda shows you aren't interested in a discussion, just spouting your viewpoints.
