    DeSantis will benefit from this. Fascists engineer crises and then finger point at blameless marginalized minorities that they know people can be roused to hate.

    Undocumented immigrants fit this category perfectly. “Houses aren’t being built, and it’s all because the illegals destroyed our construction industry! Nobody’s cracking down on illegal workshy job-stealing benefit cheating immigrants like DeSantis!™®” seems like the kind of slimy, disgusting, slogan he’ll argue, and he’ll probably win votes because of it.

      The big point you didn’t mention is that conservatives will consume whatever made up message is thrown at them, apply zero critical thinking and take whatever they accept as an authority as never lying to them. Their lying leader is more of a symptom of this scourge thats plauging all us regular, compassionate people in society
