Governor Overreach is getting plenty of well-deserved blowback for both his rhetoric and some of the laws that he's pushed through. His path to the Oval Office will not be nearly as smooth as you suggest.
Even the 11th Circuit recently declared that he went too far with respect to 2021 legislation that was intended to punish social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook for what DeSantis argued was the stifling of conservative thought. The court found the law to be an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment. "Put simply, with minor exceptions, the government can't tell a private person or entity what to say or how to say it," said Circuit Judge Kevin Newsom, an appointee of Trump, in the opinion. "We hold that it is substantially likely that social media companies — even the biggest ones — are private actors whose rights the First Amendment protects."
More recently, he's retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for issuing a statement against gun violence and calling for legislative change. DeSantis characterized that speech, which is pretty vanilla and aligns with the sentiments of the majority of Americans, as "political activism." Guy is scary controlling and vindictive.
