News: Mask Off: DeSantis Staffer Reportedly Shares Video of DeSantis and Giant Nazi Symbol

Holy fuck, it’s not even mildly subtle.

Also, how dare those Nazi fucks bespoil Kate Bush’s wonderful music like that. I hope she sues the living fuck out of them.
-edit, notice also; ‘Make America Florida’. and ‘God’ superimposed over DeSantis.
It's subtle only in the sense that most regular people don't know what the black sun is. My wife got me this keychain that had some pagan symbols on it with a black sun snuck in as well, she had no idea until I told her.
I admit I got all the way to the end waiting for the swastika, and figured, "eh, well it must be that thing."
Thing is, while I find this entirely plausible, unless there's an archive.org of the tweet before deletion, I don't think we can credibly tie this back to anything DeSantis wanted or approved.
He's in my top 5 list of people actively trying to destroy the US, but unless the provenance of the linked video can be proven I don't see this going anywhere. Folks who hate him aren't surprised, folks who don't will ask for more proof, DeSantis will deny if he acknowledges it at all.
The NYT is reporting that it was actually produced by the DeSantis campaign, which is doing nothing to disavow the notion.
My only pushback is how much evidence do you need? He's anti-latin, anti-gay, anti-teans and uses neo-nazi imagery.
Anyone that's willing to ignore one of those because it's not explicit enough, is highly suspect.I completely agree with you, but that still leave the minds that will be changed by this existence of this video at zero, the way I read it. Yes it's appalling, but he was appalling before the video too.
The people that can't have their minds changed are fascists. You should thank them for making it clear
Absolutely fair point I'm just saying I don't think the existence of this moves the needle in any way in the current environment. It can't even be used in a campaign smear against him without being verifiable as to its origin and his approval of it.
TL;DR: Entertaining, but not whatsoever the immediate career destroyer that it could have been, or that we all would have hoped for.
Wow, using Kate Bush's music is ironic as hell.
Song about a man and a woman changing bodies, no less.
Fortunate Son isn't a national anthem to use political campaigning, either, but Trump and other dumbasses use it, anyway.
Yeah my first thought as well
