    Watching DeSantis try to pin Trump down on social issues is like watching a young earth creationist argue with a flat Earther.

    They’re both divorced from reality but the creationist is trying to establish a religious case based on their religious ‘reality’. The flat Earther has no ties to any reality whatsoever, they don’t even have to prove anything to themselves or their faith. They can say whatever the hell they want and dismiss anything they want.

    Trump can just say something like ‘I love the gays, I just don’t agree with homosexuality’ and his supporters will hear whatever dog whistle they want to hear from that and DeSantis shrieking otherwise will just make them call him a ‘never-Trumper’.

    As much as Trump disgusts me I actually enjoy watching DeSantis frantically fail to understand and emulate Trumps popularity with his base.
