Ron DeSantis is the latest Republican to support military strikes in Mexico

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign may be cratering badly thanks to his liver-and-fava-beans personality, but that doesn't mean we'll stop hearing from him anytime soon. DeSantis is still trying to find the magic words that will allow him to out-Trump Donald Trump and seize the mantle of Dear Leader. Because Republicanism is now a fascist movement, Ron remains quite certain that the magic answer involves killing people. Well, and firing all the college professors, but mostly the killing people part.

On Thursday, an Iowa voter gave DeSantis a new chance to polish his message by asking him whether he'd consider ordering drone strikes inside Mexico if he becomes president—ostensibly, to bomb Mexican drug cartels.
