Fair warning: despite being one of the hilariously gayest anti-LGBTQ+ things I’ve ever seen, the video ad in question was intended to promote Desantis and LGBTQ+ hatred. But it’s so goddamn bizarre, homoerotic, and funny, I felt it should be shared. It’s like they pushed so hard to be Anti-LGBTQ+ they came out the other side.

Is he... is he bragging about being evil?

The entire conservative ethos right now is about owning the libs and making them angry. If they're angry at you, you must be doing something right, and if they're calling you evil, then wow you must be amazing!

What about Theodore Roosevelt who got fucking shot and then proceeded to continue his speech anyways. Even mocking the person's aim

What the everloving fuck was that ad, holy shit. Seriously, that's a political ad? Supposed to make us like the guy?

Well, no, I suppose it's supposed to make people like me afraid. And I suppose on some level, yes, I'm very afraid for myself and for the country in general if Desantis somehow gets his way and wins the presidency.

desantis' odds of winning are lower than the Netherlands, nothing to worry about there.

This is an ad for terminally online people. It won't play well with the vast majoritg of people, but for the people it does target, I see them actually liking it ngl. Which - given that this is Twitter, probably is most of the audience who follows him
