Psychopathic, how can a politician like this have any popular support

It's DeSantis, so he basically doesn't.

Same as any strongman leader. Talking tough reliably gets votes from a certain type of voter, even if what is proposed is utterly insane.

Because some people are also psychopaths or who prefer authoritarian leadership.

The people who support him don't know he said this.. They literally don't know shit about these people and only watch Fox news which wont air this

Dunno why you're getting downvoted, you're 100% correct.

Most people aren't on social media talking politics or thinking about any of this outside what they might overhear at church, from family/friends, on TV, shared on Facebook.
