Abstract

Some are born Florida Men, some achieve Florida Manhood, and some have Florida Manhood thrust upon them by the demands of right-wing politics. Buoyed by Trump's blessing and the support of right-wing media, DeSantis won Florida's Republican primary for governor in August 2018 by 20 points. Features In the course of a single month this year, the following news reports emanated from Florida: A gun enthusiast in Tampa built a 55-foot backyard pool shaped like a revolver, with a hot tub in the hammer. But it didn't land, somehow, and Trump's more recent efforts - Meatball Ron, Shutdown Ron, Tiny D - have not been as devastating as Low-Energy Jeb or Little Marco. [Extracted from the article]
