My Twitter feed is jam packed with pundits who are writing, or have written, DeSantis off.

I'm happy that at least some serious people are not so easily fooled.

Yes I've noticed the Instagram infiltration for about a year now. I think his PR team works directly with meme guys on IG to get them to give him exposure and make him look like a tough guy. I started doing some digging and realized that DeSantis trolls are ALL OVER Instagram and they are busy gaining young people as his followers. This is a definite strategy to go after young inexperienced people who may think he's cool b/c he tries to humiliate Disney and does "tough guy stuff". You can see below his posts or posts about him just a flurry of robotic comments about how awesome he is, DeSantis is the best, DeSantis 2024 and they're typically what appear to be young people. I've been very happy to see growing counter-offensive of pages dedicated to laying out the truth on him showing up in Reels so anyone can see them.
