This is laughable, the man who literally tried to destroy democracy in the USA is the clear choice of the GOP. I believe the base is just hateful and they like how hateful and criminal trump is, if Desantis wants to become more popular with the base he should rape a child or maybe shoot a person with darker skin. 

The bolded certainly seems in evidence during Trump rallies.

But I think a lot of Trump supporters have been sucked into the Fox vortex,

so that they genuinely believe Biden is just as bad and Trump was good for the economy and made the U.S. "respected"--by praising dictators and sounding like one, and dissing our allies. ,

And they don't see a coup attempt coordinated with RNC operatives in 7 states plus the WH staff.
They see "peacefully" and free speech.
