Enemy, mortal enemy, party friend: This classic increase also applies to political business on the other side of the Atlantic: Ron DeSantis, who has now officially thrown his hat in the ring as a Republican presidential candidate, has less to target Joe Biden or the Democrats. The 44-year-old governor of Florida is mainly working on Donald Trump. The framework is provided by the discussion of the Woke ideology, which has moved to the center of Republican politics since Trump’s time.
Culture War in America
The topic, which is by no means out of thin air and is fueling the culture war between “progressive” and “conservative” much more in the USA than in Europe, offers something that every election campaigner can use: mobilization power. Nevertheless, concentrating on the fight once morest an ideology also has some pitfalls: Because at some point it is no longer regarding dealing with the arguments of the opponent, but rather regarding something like “purity”. The candidate has to prove that he is 100% on the right side, otherwise he becomes dubious for his own following.
Something like the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” effect kicks in. As is well known, in the famous Goethe poem he might not get rid of the spirits he called.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
This is exactly the method DeSantis is now using in the fight once morest Trump. The governor of Florida is currently fighting a feud once morest the Disney group, which has special self-government rights in the state. DeSantis wants to curtail them in order to enforce its laws once morest the early sexualization of children once morest the group. He accuses Trump of siding with Disney. Why sorcerer’s apprentice? Trump’s fight once morest the left-wing culture fighters is now turning once morest himself. Suddenly he is seen as unreliable. But DeSantis mustn’t celebrate too soon.
For in two ways he is the apprentice of the sorcerer’s apprentice. Not only in the defamation of the competitor does he follow the Trump school. He has now had to hear Trump supporters accuse him of not being ideologically reliable either. There is an anti-DeSantis spot that alludes to the fact that he once ate chocolate pudding with his hands. This is what the clip does: The politician loves to put his hands where they don’t belong. The sexual innuendo is clear.
The spiral of defamation keeps turning. And DeSantis isn’t just a victim, he’s turning the screw himself.
