Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) candidacy for president of the United States lasted just shy of eight months. For the most part, he remained solidly in second place and was never a major threat to former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. None of the Republican candidates have been, at least according to the polls. Still, Trump routinely went on the attack against DeSantis.

Trump supporters, spurred on by their idol, engaged in vicious online behavior. DeSantis’s mere presence on the stage this cycle represented an affront to the sensitive MAGA crowd. And unsurprisingly, they’re none too happy as they look toward the future.
