Betty Cracker links to an analysis (post-mortem?) of DeSantis' "extremely online" campaign. At the end there's an important note about "memes" in politics. If you can laugh them off, you can neutralize them, but anyone who has been online knows, you can't feed the trolls. DeSantis is so abjectly humorless that he can't roll with the punches. Meanwhile, Biden and his campaign turned "Fuck you, Biden" into "Dark Brandon". They're even selling Dark Brandon coffee mugs.
Trump's "sense of humor" is pretty awful, even if many of his Deplorable think he's hilarious. Nevertheless, some sort of bullying sense of humor does exist in Trump, and as much as a bully as DeSantis is, he has no wit.
