First up, it appears that Paul Ryan - an idiot - still harbors a delusion that the bugfuck, batshit sociopaths his beloved GOP have been inviting into the "big tent" for decades haven't taken over the party.
Also, grifting woomeister Marianne Williamson is a "major Democrat" according to the Associated Press.

If there’s one thing Trump has respect for, it’s a loyalty pledge to people who don’t support him. Why Trump is basically known for following all contracts he signs and would never fuck over the republican party for personal gain.
But I take it you expect there to be a presidential election in 2024?
As Louis Brandeis said long ago, we can have democracy or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both. Great concentrations of wealth in the hands of a few was what the U.S. was all about at the beginning, and after some pushback, the great concentrations thing won out many generations ago. That being true, just like all the hoops you have to jump through to board a commercial airliner are more security theater than actual security, national elections are more democracy theater than actual democracy. There'll definitely be a presidential election in 2024. How much will be pure theater is the thing.

JFK Jr. has yet to come out of hiding, but RFK Jr. is considering giving it a go. He's much beloved among rank-and-file anti-vax morons, but he's second tier at best when it comes to anti-vax grifting (can't compete with the big boys like Joe Mercola and Mike Adams).

I read the book Cause Unknown. It was pretty interesting.

DeSantis: He Hurts the people we want him to hurt!
That’s basically it, that’s the entire Desantis platform, hurt others to feel better about yourself, the question is can it go up against the might of ‘Hurt others to feel better about Myself’, that Trump brings? It seems like a coming clash of how conservative masses project their hate through their leader, as DeSantis seems to be more cruel but lacks the full on insecure narcissism that people seem to love about Trump.
A Trump presidency had Trump wanting to use the armed forces to march down streets to proclaim his awesomeness, whereas I worry a DeSantis presidency will have them marching down the street to instill fear in all those who don’t comply.
I don't think he has an official slogan yet. Perhaps we can help.
DeSantis - We Found Somebody Even Dumber!
Vote DeSantis and You'll Never Have To Vote Again!
Make America's Bathrooms Less Confusing Again! ... or, Save Our Shitters!
Well at least he's good looking. And he doesn't sound like he's drunk off his as when he's giving a speech. video posting soon. And Save Our Shitters is perfect.

I really don't see that. I remember a while back him supposedly invoking martial law---or something similar I really can't remember, but it had people talking about him being a dictator. As I recall the media had it overblown.

This is the kind of shit authoritarians do, and Trump is nothing if not an authoritarian. The problem is, we not an authoritarian government, and I don't want it to be.

IS that it? Conservative propaganda will prop him up instead of make fun of him like Biden and that’s why you support DeSantis?
Otherwise I’m curious, what is it that DeSantis brings that gets your vote?
But in creating a permission structure for voters to excuse Trump’s defective character and flouting of religious values, Pence was unwittingly making himself irrelevant. In effect, he spent four years convincing conservative Christian voters that the very thing he had to offer them didn’t matter.
