Desantis doesn’t get the presidency, does he get to just rule Florida like a nominal king with a rubber stamp state legislature? What is the goal here? Like in the long term. What will his goal be when the writing is on the wall and he isn’t a ‘Fasceasar’ (my own term for an abstractly fascist leadership a budding fascist aspires to become) or whatever he seems to believes he is destined to become.
We already know his stated plans for the presidency.
...but what about if he doesn’t get it? Is he planning to ‘secede without declaring’ it? He appears to be militarizing the state guard and isolating his state economically more and more.

Is he going to wait 20 years, after serving his two terms, 4 years out and back in a cycle like Putin until Florida’s next generation has been affected by his numerous anti-LGBT laws? Or will he just remove that restriction with his rubberstamp legislature?

DeSantis goes Full Fascist and signs a slate of anti-trans bills in Florida
I don’t need to remind people that ‘Fasceasars’ (or czars in this case) such as Putin become parables of the unchecked human condition over time with malefic power. I have lived in America since I was five, and never cared about Russian politics back in the old country until I heard of a particularly disturbing situation which preceded the invasion of Crimea…

That’s when I learned about Putin, as a dual citizenship person. I knew I was LGBT at the time, and my cousin came out around the same time to family in Russia when that began. We were utterly terrified for my cousin’s life. Of course this was all to give his people an internal enemy when he invaded Crimea.
Then I saw my friends praising Putin at the time. He had built his ‘mythology’ as shirtless horseman, which was all to eventually become the object lesson in what corruption can do to a democracy he is today with his (thankfully) so far failed attempt to build his own empire.
I’m seeing Desantis still going full steam, willing to change any law in his way like he did the Resign to Run Law.
What is going to be the parable of Ron Desantis, where does he intend to go with all this? I mean in concrete steps, not on an abstract ‘Fasceasar’ scale. Does he rule his state with an iron fist? Can he?
I remember before Trump was elected while I drove Uber, I was talking with a older Trump supporter and asked him what he believed would stop Trump from harming his own people. He just said a nebulous ‘someone’ would stop it. To which I replied ‘Who, though? Is the secret service going to hold him down and cuff him? Who Will Bell the Cat?’ He just repeated that a nebulous ‘someone.’ Would.
Well, time went on and the ‘bomb’ fell in the form of covid, wherein more people in America alone died than the two nukes dropped on Japan combined. Even with the fact that Desantis and other red states hid their numbers The answer turned out was that he was wrong.
