As Ron DeSantis demolishes the COVID-19 house of cards and turns himself into a potential favorite for 2024, he has pulled closer to (or overtaken, depending on the poll) former President Donald Trump. And the media has naturally been there to screech every step of the way. A handful of commentators have even called him “scarier” than Trump. And if they care as much about their COVID restrictions and wokeness as they claim, then DeSantis might just be their worst domestic nightmare, pulling crucial parts of Trump’s base that feel alienated after 2020.
Trump supporters are not wrong to feel let down. Trump green-lighted an extra 30-day lockdown that emboldened governors and mayors alike to put Americans through two years of hell. He did not activate the Insurrection Act during the George Floyd riots, even as American cities burned and President Joe Biden’s own staff donated to or promoted riot bail funds. Whether it is fair or not, Trump will be burdened with the title of “lockdown president” going into 2024, and Democrats likely won’t let him forget it. After all, any criticism of Democrat lockdowns will be met with the inevitable “you did it first.”
