Joe Biden has taken a wrecking ball to the country.
The Democratic Party as a whole is not faring much better.
Now Democrats are panicking after Ron DeSantis showed up to one sporting event.
The left is engaged in a persistent smear campaign against Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
They recognize him as a serious contender in 2024 if Donald Trump does not run again.
But the media attempts to discredit DeSantis have failed, and his popularity is on the uptick.
That was apparent at a recent UFC event in Jacksonville, Florida where Governor DeSantis showed up and got a king’s welcome.

DeSantis narrowly won election in 2018 when he ran against progressive Democrat Andrew Gillum—who later admitted to being bisexual after passing out in a motel room with a gay escort—but DeSantis is hovering around a 10-point edge against his Democratic challengers in his reelection bid.
DeSantis even got an enthusiastic introduction from ESPN host Jon Anik.

Anik’s apparent show of support for DeSantis is significant considering ESPN’s parent company Disney has essentially declared war on the governor over signing the Parental Rights in Education bill into law.
But despite the gnashing of teeth by the left over the new law, it remains a winning issue for DeSantis; a majority of Democrats in Florida support it.
It was great to meet with the legend @DanaWhite in Jax ahead of the big fight between @GameBredFighter and @USMAN84kg this Saturday in a sold out @VyStarVetArena! #UFC261 pic.twitter.com/C47XWlsgCK

DeSantis’s star is clearly on the rise, and Democrats are making it worse by taking unpopular positions on culture war issues.
The left has yoked itself to the idea that it’s appropriate to talk to kids in K-3 about sexual orientation and gender identity.
