An Open Letter To Ron DeSantis From The Lincoln Project
May 24, 2023 – The following is an open letter to Ron DeSantis from the Lincoln Project regarding his announcement that he's running for President:
Dear Ron,
Congratulations on entering the 2024 Presidential primary process. Running for President is a life-altering event that will challenge your mental and physical abilities to the utmost.
But first, let's cut to the chase: you're going to get absolutely destroyed. Your awkwardness, disdain for people, and general disgust with the process, won't help while you're shaking countless hands in distant diners or standing in the middle of a fair posing for pictures with a butter cow.
You think you are owed a win, but you've never been attacked like Trump will wreck you. Your height, your recent and sudden weight loss, your terrible political judgment, the bad advice from domineering advisors, will all be fair game to Trump. He's going to go through you like fingers through pudding. You're too weak and afraid of Trump and his MAGA cult members to fight him to win.
It was a brilliant move to announce on Twitter so you don't have to talk to real people or answer real questions. It's just you and Elon Musk – a South African who believes that the radical right deserves their own space to scream racist tropes, promote political violence, and push a bizarre culture war. It won't re-energize your already failing campaign with its fleeing donors and falling poll numbers, but it was worth a shot!
We've been following your career for a while now, and we think we know you pretty well. We're comfortable calling you an unAmerican poseur who wraps himself in the flag and military imagery to hide the fact that he's nothing more than a wannabe despot who governs as a bully. Patriots don't ban textbooks, destroy individual rights, and attack companies that don't agree with his policies.
But there's no reason this can't be fun! We're sure going to love watching you crash and burn.
Sincerely,
Your Friends At The Lincoln Project
