Thread 🧵: For at least the past two weeks, the DeSantis campaign’s social media surrogates have attempted to lay the groundwork for their candidate’s inevitable, embarrassing departure from the GOP primary contest.

Instead of acknowledging their candidate’s many unforced errors, they’ve chosen to postulate all sorts of conspiracy theories that blame everyone but him for the demise of his campaign.

“The DeSantis campaign was WELL RUN, but the mean, unfair media, the indictments, Vivek, etc., all got in the way."

As a Trump supporter, I can acknowledge that Trump’s 2024 campaign launch was lowkey, dry, and boring compared to 2016. It left me and many others asking, “Is this going to be a more toned-down Trump?” However, it wasn’t an off-putting or negative first impression. It was just, “Meh. Ok. Whatever.”

DeSantis saw this as an opportunity to reject the traditional campaign launch format and took the unnecessary risk of delving into uncharted territory to set himself apart as “bold, young, and energetic” by announcing his launch on an untested, still-in-beta "Twitter space" with Elon Musk. Instead, DeSantis gave the first impression of being “unserious, disorganized, and scripted.”

Will the "Real" Bryson Gray @RealBrysonGray please stand up? A thread 🧵Since 2020, Gray, a self-admitted former Democrat and then Bernie supporter, underwent a dramatic shift in his political views, becoming a vociferous supporter of President Trump during his administration. The merging and culmination of Gray’s political shift came with his musical career ambitions came with the release of his album “MAGA ain’t got no color” in 2020. It features songs with the titles “45”, “Trump is your president”, “MAGA Boy”, and “Pro Life, Pro God, Pro-Trump”.
