Your article pretty well mirrors my experience with DeSantis. I too once applauded his seeming reasonableness, but he has become an extreme autocrat in short order. Beyond his anti-vax stance, his intolerant views towards minorities, immigrants, and especially the LGBTQ and trans communities, is oppressive and destructive. Not to mention his extreme stance on abortion. If his opponent in the 2024 election is able to clearly point out his intolerance on the national stage, DeSantis is doomed. I cannot imagine a more dangerous potential president than him. He is just like Trump only worse. He is smarter.
