The DeSantis dazzling political instincts were on display yet again, as the man-o-the-people allowed folks to watch from afar while his family enjoyed the bumper cars at the Iowa State Fair.

Having failed at shutting down Disney World in his own state, Florida's Governor Ronald Dion DeSantis (R) showed how likeable he truly is by shutting down at least one ride at a state fair in Iowa. That is, he shut it down for everyone except his own family, who got to ride the bumper cars with the reckless abandon of a fascist firing duly elected state's attorneys like it was his damn birthday.

People were super impressed with his political savvy, as well as his generous nature.

Others recalled another GOP governor who exhibited similarly — shall we say — ingratiating behavior?

Then there's that actually successful, respectable presidential candidate who managed to ride the bumper cars without excluding everyone else who had come to the state fair.
