Just to be clear: The Ron DeSantis train left. You're not still on it, are you?

Ah, the Ron DeSantis Express. Remember that shiny locomotive of political destiny that everyone swore was going to steamroll through the primaries, flatten Trump, and pull straight into the White House? Yeah. About that train… it left the station. Actually, it derailed about twenty feet down the track.

But hey, you were on it! You had the conductor’s hat, the whistle, maybe even the “DeFuture” bumper sticker. You weren’t just riding — you were serving drinks in the dining car. “All aboard! Best governor in America! He’s inevitable!” You practically memorized every Fox News chyron like it was scripture.

And yet, here we are. The hype evaporated faster than his presidential smile in Iowa. The polls collapsed. The donors ghosted. The “America’s Governor” narrative aged like warm milk on an Arizona sidewalk in the summer. Meanwhile, Trump’s numbers didn’t just hold — they laughed, got a gym membership, and bulked up.

So… you’re not still clinging to your ticket, right? Because being on the Ron DeSantis train in 2025 is like still bragging about your Myspace profile. It's quaint. It’s retro. It’s also completely useless.

What went wrong? Oh, nothing major—just a candidate who mistook cable-news buzz for actual grassroots support. Just a guy who thought winning a culture war in Florida meant winning the country. Just a campaign that figured voters would swoon over “competent Trump” while forgetting that voters never asked for that. They asked for… Trump.

And you? You were sure you were smarter than everyone else. You knew this was the winning horse. But instead of a Kentucky Derby thoroughbred, you ended up backing a Shetland pony that got spooked by a camera flash.

So now’s the time to step off the platform, dust yourself off, and maybe pretend you never bought that ticket in the first place. History moves fast—and the political flavor of the month always melts by the next news cycle.

There are leaders and there are followers. If you were a follower, don’t worry...we won’t tell anyone. But seriously: You’re not still on that train, are you?
