The SuperPac supporting Ron DeSantis, called Never Back Down, has taken hundreds of millions of dollars from the Wall Street, billionaire, Sea Island, multinational corporation and hedge fund donors. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is injecting another $85 million from his leadership pac in Florida. All told, it is the largest single assembly of political cash in the history of presidential campaigning – estimated value well north of $500 million.
With all of that in mind, this is the best the communications team can come up with:
Now, please do not misconstrue what I am saying. I am not saying these people are just bad at their jobs. I am saying these are fundamentally stupid people.
This is the skillset of the professional Republican Party. This is what they are taught to do, study to do, sit around and spend millions in consultancy fees to come up with.
These are professional Republican operations…. They are also just idiots! This is why some of the billionaire funders have also paused, reevaluated and stepped back from the DeSantis nonsense. The DeSantis crew are sending out Instagram selfie-pics of their lunches while cheering for their team.
This is like the General Cornwallis version of political warfare. They sit around in their echo-chambered rooms and might as well put a powdered wig on their candidate. Everything is fake, pretense, manufactured and sold by the brightest consultants in the world as the stuff that “should work.” It’s genuinely hilarious!
Meanwhile, MAGA is an insurgency running circles around them, ducking and weaving through their ranks, and they are totally oblivious to it.
This image right here is almost literally who the people behind Ron DeSantis are. Not all of them, but overwhelmingly the majority of them are just like this disconnected insufferable bunch pictured above.
If that’s who they are, then WHO ARE WE?
We are scruffy, working class patriots engaged in the battle against them!
We are the workforce.
We are digital warriors, meme creators, artists, researchers, autists and ordinarily invisible people now considered dissidents in our own country.
We are the backbone of industry, the people who keep it all working, the builders, diggers and blue-collar workforce that keeps everything functioning. We are the people they will never fully control. We speak in languages they do not understand, and we absorb targeted ridicule as fuel.
We are the movers of goods, the truckers, the farmers, the nameless people behind the skilled trades that keep what they call American society moving.
We are the people who grow the food, pick the food, transport the food, stock the food, cook the food and facilitate the life they live. We are a visible, yet disregarded, insurgent force within their sphere of life that is never considered, yet we control the outcomes of every moment they value.
We pick up the trash, answer the phones, run cables to their devices, mow their lawns, solve their problems, control the flow of essential services and keep our heads below the radar.
We are the majority.
We are a self-reliant, freedom loving, normally peaceful and God-fearing assembly.
We drive them to their destination; we are comfortably out of mind until needed, and yet we are irreplaceable for the things they require.
We are armed with hammers, pens, rulers, mice, pickup trucks, laptops, post-it notes, stickers and alternate forms of messaging that circumvent the control mechanisms deployed to create our silence.
We are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything.
We have eyes of eagles and ears of elephants. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance.
We are smart, strategic, highly intelligent and carry a brutally obvious and pragmatic common sense that finds optimal solutions to everything.
We identify our tribe immediately and without conversation.
We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal.
We control the physical world that operates around every element of society, and we value real and tangible assets.
We do not sit around pontificating eloquently about philosophic nuances; we get shit done.
We are the people who facilitate their ability to take us for granted, and we do so without issue, resentment or desire for recognition.
We are optimistic, affable, kind, generous, friendly, loyal, warm and quietly spiritual in purpose.
We are polite, considerate and slow to anger.
We prefer to be left alone. However, pushed entirely far enough, decisions are reached. Right now, we are tenuously staring with deepened gaze.
We are increasingly pissed off…. Big Time!
In every town, village and hamlet we are encountering the same conversation. On every porch, in every shop, at every event, the topic is the same.
Right now, we are taking this fury to the platforms of visibility where we hope to influence outcomes. But if that effort fails, and/or if the command-and-control authorities make the mistake of thinking they can shut down our visibility and therefore control the dissent, there will be no quarter provided in the aftermath.
The two biggest mistakes they can make right now is not understanding why we have begun to bow our heads.
First, our heads are not bowed because we are subservient, cowering or accepting the current effort to control us….
….We are praying!
Their second mistake would be to ignore that we are not praying for us…
….We are praying for those who trespass against us!
They may not like what follows, “Amen!”
We are resolute and of common purpose.
We are MAGA!

Half a billion? For that? I thought Meatball was a businessman.
De Santis isn’t ready – if he could swallow his enormous ego and accept being Trump’s VP (assuming Trump wants him to be) he’d get a four year international and Washington edcuation- which he needs- Trump’s failure of the first term were mostly a result of his picking the wrong people because he had to rely on advice from Washington insiders – He had great ideas and accomplished many of them, but he spent too much energy fighting the entrenched Washington hacks….. I’m sure Trump is sharp enough to recognize this and has educated himself.
Ronda did learn something as a three- term congressman.
I guess I’m just in the wrong damned business. If I were in the “right” one, then people would be sending $500 million dollars to me just for “advertising.”
Nonetheless, I simply wish that “Ron DeSantis” could have the political acumen to realize that he is being played by people who have no intention of letting him get anywhere near the White House. He is simply being used as a “spoiler.”
“By now, he should be smarter than that …” 😞
Instead, he should remain exactly where he is – as Governor of Florida – and continue to demonstrate to his 49 colleagues what “a State Governor” can actually do and be. After all, the original intent of the 10th Amendment was to assign the majority of powers to Governors and State Governments, not to the Federal. The “powers” of the President, aside from “Commander-in-Chief,” are actually mostly symbolic.
He is boldly exercising the powers of his Office, and I very simply wish that his 49 colleagues would acquire the cojones (metaphorically speaking … excuse me, ladies …) to do the same.
Because, “this” is the resilient and robust form of Government that our Founders originally intended. They never intended for these “now 50 cats” to be “purring together.” They intended for them to be cat-fighting … respectfully. Pursuing national issues “each in their own way, but then be forced to arrive at national consensus.” It was a positively brilliant strategy that we should not now ignore.
To be clear, Trump did claim to “Have finished the wall”. But Trump, as smart as he is, is not always articulate enough. If I recall, he finished the wall that had been planned. The entire border was not under plan. Correct me if I am wrong.
Zero of the swing states of the 2020 election have significantly changed their election laws and Dems still control all of the same precincts.
If this next election is about ballot collection, then Trump has already lost.
Being the straw that stirs the drink will not help any MAGA candidate to victory if the Dems can easily inject millions of votes with impunity. Being the majority is of mo consequence when the minority can just create votes.
Neither the courts nor law enforcement will do a damn thing about it.
I am not optimistic in any way about 2024. The Dems stole 2022 midterms and MAGA folks could not stop it. They openly stole AZ and literally nothing has been changed. They openly stole PA and nothing has changed. They stole WI, MI and NV and nothing has changed.
We are screwed.
Agree that the GOP elite backing DeS are just plain stupid. What a pathetic rebuttal to Trumps stellar performance against CNN’s noxious “rising star.” Cringeworthy Ronna McFailure is the glaring symbol of the entire lot. It is why even when the GOP had a supermajority in the House & Senate that they couldn’t accomplish anything productive in going up against a highly organized globalist Marxist agenda that was then overtaking the Democrat Party, another group of incredibly stupid people. Unfortunately then came Paul AKA “The Backstabbing Snake” Ryan & Mitch “Let China Win” McFailure who were sabotaging Trump at every opportunity as he tried to fight our Enemies Within. This only allowed them to grow stronger as they further infiltrated the depths of the DOJ, FBI, the national court system, the election process, the IC, and the MSM, Big Tech. Let’s be honest. Trump made some HUGE mistakes regarding the people he appointed into a position of power. My take: He was being led astray by traitors to American within his inner circle. Or maybe they were also just incredibly stupid, clueless people like Sundance describes.
I grew up around these clueless types of people that Sundance describes in an upper middle class WASP community within commuting distance of NYC. A good majority of my classmates had a Daddy who worked on Wall Street. (Corporate lawyers, bankers, stock brokers, etc) In my experience, these offspring were barely functional when it came to common sense or real life issues. I don’t think they could have survived a week on the street on their own if that were ever to become necessary, and in fact some didn’t make it when they went away to college (Ivy League if their parents could possibly swing it with their grades), as they got caught up in the drug culture of the times (early 70’s), became addicted, and then had to come home to Daddy. My theory is that there is something that happens to a person when they know they have to exert very little effort to succeed in life, when everything is going to be handed to them regardless. It is a dumbing-down, debilitating process IMHO. There is no need to forge the metals of character in the fire of life’s challenges when you know Daddy will always fix everything for you and pave the way to “success.”
And so here we are. Back to the roots of the reasons why we separated from the British aristocracy in the first place, dealing with the same ilk of people, due to the generations of in-breeding of The Elite. The GOP will become extinct once America First (Trump supporters) leave this Kabuki theater. Why don’t we just start another party? Why do we continue to let ourselves be hamstrung by the likes of Kevin and Mitch McFailure and all the other RINOs? Let them go down into that gentle good night. Daddy won’t fix things for them this time, but they will still enjoy their 3+ vacation/retirement homes, at least until the Communists confiscate them if things keep going in the direction they’re going. The bottom line is they don’t represent us, which is our birthright, given to us by the blood of our Founding Fathers and our veterans who died fighting for our freedoms. Enough of these enabling cowards, quislings, and scoundrels. It’s Time for them to be put out to pasture. God Bless America.
Sundance, you are and incredible writer and motivator! I cannot thank you or praise you enough! but, THANK YOU.
Sounds like a soliloquy from Fight Club
