For a man that has a full-time staff dedicated to fluffing his 41+ pages long Wikipedia biography with useless references to his non-existent combat experience, no one knows much about Ron DeSantis in his pre-congressional days.

Same goes for Casey DeSantis, Ron DeSantis' younger sister, and a shockingly large amount of people in his inner circle, But that's for another post.

In the next few weeks, we’re publishing a series of pieces that will bring forward the parts of the Florida Fuhrer’s life that he tried (and until now, succeeded) to keep hidden.

We start with the key ingredient in making a fascist ruler: control of information.

Because before we even start exposing the lies, our readers should prepare themselves for the onslaught of Twitter hate accounts that will attack them for sharing the truth.

Part I: DeSantis was flopping, so he hired disinformation experts

The newfound and almost clinical control of DeSantis’ public image should be revered by political interests across the spectrum for its vicious and unprecedented scale and impact (at least in modern American politics).

The awkward, often uncomfortable-looking governor, with his high-pitched voice and always-aggressive tone, never mastered the art of public speaking.

Known to be short-tempered, overly emotional and easily baited, DeSantis’ failed attempts to use force to silence his critics ended when the public outrage outweighed the conservative support.

The issue became so severe that handlers insisted DeSantis scale back his press conferences in 2021, as concern about his image and inability to control his temper led people to call him a bully, cold and calculating, a liar and a crook.

But the would-be king of Florida still satisfies his thirst for revenge against all those who bruise him, employing (literal) Russian assets and tactics to wage an all-out war on truth.

And for DeSantis, it’s always personal.
