Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey, who has taken an active role in her husband’s campaign, appeared to urge supporters who don’t live in Iowa to travel there and try to vote in the caucus anyway, saying on Fox News, “We’re asking all of these moms and grandmoms to come from wherever it might be — North Carolina, South Carolina — and descend upon the state of Iowa to be a part of the caucus because you do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus. So moms and grandmoms are going to be able to come and be a part and let their voice be heard in support of Ron DeSantis.”
According to Florida Politics, she swiftly walked this statement back, clarifying that, “they cannot vote in the caucus process, but they can come and volunteer and they can be a part of it in that way.” And the Iowa Republican Party, while not mentioning Casey DeSantis by name, put out a statement on X clarifying, “Remember: you must be a legal resident of Iowa and the precinct you live in and bring photo ID with you to participate in the #iacaucus!”
The whole thing quickly became a subject of scorn and mockery on social media.
It’s sad that our moms and grandmoms or whatever would vote away our future. Wtf. But that is their base, apparently.
It has to be the lead they were exposed to.
The violent crime may have dropped, but maybe that was just enough lead exposure to drive it even beyond this. So instead of these people being in jail, they are just systemically destroying civilization
I honestly just think it’s the internet.
And not in the way boomers like to think but because it gave them access to the world in real time and their brains couldn’t handle reality so they chose to ignore it.
Like they were happy because they were all living in their own little bubbles and then the internet came and popped all those bubbles and now we have cognitive dissonance on a global scale
IDK, voting for Regan in 1980 was before the internet was widely available to the public to and it’s one move that’s blamed for a lot of the decay for the last 40 years.
