Early indications are that the DeSantis advance team is already facing challenges for their first in-person 'kickoff' event in Des Moines tomorrow

They already quietly moved venues from a huge "RecPlex" (from their original release) to a megachurch (website now)

Now, listen, it could mean that the crowd got too big!

But I don't think so.

As far as megachurches go, the Eternity Church is more like a mediumchurch amirite?

These are the only photos I could find, but you get the idea. Not so big.

(and as an aside, I'm getting some "mega" Koresh vibes from Pastor Jesse from Eternity Church)...

seriously - search for 'desantis' + 'eternity' and you will find nada. this thread will be the first that matches. nobody cares.

(which is also an indication of a problem for the crowd tomorrow, although they may simply not care about #s)

side note: there *is* a larger event facility across from the Eternity Church but unfortunately it will be all booked up at the exact same time as DeSantis with a sold out show...

Featuring "Bad Omens," which is just a little too on the nose, if you ask me.

just sayin'

aww Pastor Jesse deleted his tweet (prob because it's wildly illegal for a church to be supporting a candidate so overtly)

but obviously I had it open in a tab so here ya go

seems like you CARE a little bit, pal
