Desantis is gonna lose the middle if he keeps pushing this along with other recent developments, he's already made his point. An unpopular opinion here I appreciate , and I despise woke as much as any self respecting individual should, just one person's take on attempting to objectively look at political reality
Desantis doesn't have trumps charisma and so his policies will actually matter.
Both the pubs and dems have been moving further and further to their respective corners for a while, to the point you now have half the country(49%) identifying as independent politically, it was 31% in 2004. It's increasingly a pox on both their houses
Honestly in the next 10-15 years there may well emerge a centrist third party/movement of consequential size at this rate, as the current trajectory of the 2 current majors continues to move away from where most voters naturally reside
