One way of reading DeSantis's governorship is that it's an extension of the grievance that drove the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker lawsuit. Peter Thiel's ideological animus and anti-media resentment has found a host body in the form of the Florida governor.

@ishaantharoor @atrupar Ron may not even believe in the policies he pushes and lies he spreads. The standard for GOP presidents shifted from populist to terrorist to appease their radicalized base. Ron has to be the loudest biggest fascist in the room if he hopes to win the primary
@ishaantharoor Florida is now a police state with zero free press. And DeSantis thinks the of the country wants this?
@ishaantharoor Have y’all treated him fairly/objectively even once? Have you given him any reason at all to trust you?
@ishaantharoor @atrupar Très bien dit, wow bravo!! 👏👏
@ishaantharoor @JasonSCampbell why does this dude copy the hitler playbook? republicans claim to be about freedom, like freedom to spread covid or freedom to bear AR-15's, yet freedom of the press and freedom of self-expression are condemned..sad
@ishaantharoor It cannot be overstated that the Hogan/Thiel suit vs. Gawker was a massive inflection point in American culture, and, politics.
@ishaantharoor @atrupar Yes! Very good comparison/development.
