While conservatives spent decades crowing about winning the war of ideas, it’s possible the Left was winning the war of feelings. That may also be a good way to understand the looming battle for the GOP nomination between Donald Trump and GovRonDeSantis.
“It might be time to reassess the terms we use to describe what we’re watching,” Carlson said. “When I started at Heritage, the presumption was, and this is a very Anglo-American assumption, that the debates we’re having are kind of rational debates about the way to get to mutually agreed upon outcomes. ... So we write our papers, and they write their papers and may the best papers win.”“I don’t think that’s what we’re watching now at all,” he continued.
DeSantis is trying to take what was, to a large degree, a visceral and emotional phenomenon — Trump and Trumpism — and make it into an intellectual one, a specific and more or less coherent political program. But Trump is making an argument based on loyalty, authenticity, grievance, identity, and, when not totally consumed by ego, being part of a larger movement friends and foes alike call “MAGA.”
That’s a powerful argument, and it could be a winning one. Yet the night before, Trump, not DeSantis, posed for a picture at Mar-a-Lago with nearly a dozen Republicans in Florida’s congressional delegation. Every single one of them has endorsed Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign despite seeing firsthand the results in DeSantis’s Florida, where Trump himself mostly lives.
