Democrats in general are not out of touch with rural folks. We do have a very small vocal minority that wants them to use proper pronouns, but that group could alienate anyone with their insanity.
It is just my opinion based on my rural roots and the people I communicate with every day. I think the disconnection is more related to the Democratic Party not putting the time and money into geographic areas that they feel will never listen to their message. I think many people would listen if the messages keeps coming loud and clear...conservative extremism is not the real America. DeSantis should have been punished at the polls for his extremism. We need to ask the questions why? We all saw Crist do his best to punish that extremism during the debate but he had very little support to push the message that conservative extremism is bad for everyone. Each of us need to do more to show the Democratic Party that we are here...

We need more democratic candidates like John Fetterman who take an aggressive offensive approach. Clearly that's what works. Crist is just too passive. If Crist had relentlessly pushed DeSantis's buttons the way Gillum did, he might be governor. Beto, didn't win Texas, but he did a lot better than Crist. He pounded away at Abbott. He trolled him. He was even obnoxious at times.

One exception to what I'm saying is Democrat Katie Hobbs of Arizona. She took a passive congenial avoidant approach in the battle with Kari Lake, and I think she is going to win the governorship. I believe it's because enough people realize that Lake is off-the-charts batshit crazy. DeSantis doesn't fall into that category.

I do not think Crist was/is "passive". I think he is "civil". I think people will eventually relate more to civil but it depends on where you are. Some people do want/need aggressive styles. My son-in-law is from Philadelphia and all you got to do is attend a sporting event to understand why Fetterman was more connected than Oz. Crist has the ability but his nature is calm and calculated. He has control over his emotions. Arizona is split between the two styles. Florida is a heavy lean toward aggressive styles and Cuban Hispanics are the deal breaker group. Florida is complicated. I think women are getting a little tired of the aggressive behavior. That is the key to Florida. DeSantis is going down that same path as Lake but just a little behind. Trust me he will eventually catch up because he does not have great control over his emotions and power can do funny things to some people...

A person can be both civil and on the offensive at the same time. Fetterman was one example. Obama is like that. If DeSantis is somehow the GOP presidential nominee in 2024, I don't think the Crist approach is going to work. So you need to attack, but in a high-minded and intelligent manner. I do think Biden is perfectly capable of this.

I think a lot of DeSantis's appeal is to disaffected Floridians who have long felt that Florida has long been looked at as our nation's red headed stepchild, penis, anus, etc. whatever you want to call it. The Gov is the man who defied the establishment, and at least in their eyes showed strength. His divisiveness, cruelty, and deliberate spread of misinformation was overlooked. I guess when your standards are low, these traits can be viewed as swag and charisma. So these folks finally feel like they've got some mojo. It doesn't say much for their sense of self-worth to begin with. I do think you are right about DeSantis. If Kari Lake is "Trump in heels", Ron will soon morph into "Lake in white boots".

I'm sure Republicans will continue to enjoy their future credits in lieu of this "socialist" policy.

Watching Crist debate DeSantis reminds me of Obama! Did you watch that debate? I do not think any message is going to work if there is no support from the Democratic Party. The Democrats are weak in this State only because they choose to be. Listen I do not really care about one political party over another because money and power corrupts everything. I care about the people representing me and their commitment to truth, justice, equality, fairness and economy. The Republican Party does not represent me at all and I do not buy anything they are selling. The Democratic Party does represent me on many issues but I do not buy everything they are selling either. The problem is they are not really trying to sell anything in Florida and I have a problem with that. I noticed that even Obama has given up on campaigning in Florida. I live in Florida and I want to be represented but we have imperial leaders that are going to represent the wealthy at my expense and the Democratic Party seems not to care. That said I do not blame it all on the Party and feel like we the people need to do more as well. We need to stop complaining and do more to help get the message out that America's Identity puts Truth and Justice for ALL at the very top and we do it with Civility. This will not happen with Trump or DeSantis. This will not happen with the GOP. Their aggressive behaviors need to be punished at the poles yet Florida rewarded those aggressive behaviors. When I was younger I believed that you have to fight fire with fire but I am learning. I saw hope in Charlie Crist and now he has been eliminated. Where do we go from here in Florida? If we are going to be aggressive we will need the Democratic Party but it looks to me like we are on our own. Since we are on our own we will need the support from the largest voting block which is women. We might better listen to them. I really do not think they are saying they want aggressive behaviors from privileged men who abuse power and dictate.

Trump tweeted an image from a spy satellite, declassified document shows​



Three years ago, Donald Trump tweeted an image that left intelligence experts gobsmacked.

The picture was of a rocket that had exploded on a launch pad deep inside of Iran. It was so crisp, that some initially thought it may not have been taken by a satellite.

"This picture is so exquisite, and you see so much detail," says Jeffrey Lewis, who studies satellite imagery at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. "At first, I thought it must have been taken by a drone or something."

But aerospace experts quickly determined it was photographed using one of America's most prized intelligence assets: a classified spacecraft called USA 224 that is widely believed to be a multibillion-dollar KH-11 reconnaissance satellite.
