The First Lady of Florida showed up on the campaign trail in Iowa this weekend wearing a ghastly black leather jacketAmerican flag on front, an alligator and the silhouette of her state on the back, with the sneering words, Where Woke Goes to Diethat brought to mind nothing so much as the racks of a Red State big-bin store where it would be retailing for $24.99.
To be fair, Casey DeSantis wore the bomber to a charity biker rally and Im sure the campaign intended it to be a viral moment, like Melania Trumps infamous I Really Dont Care coat that the former First Lady donned to check out the border crisis.
The message on Melanias coat, like the one-time model herself, was sphinxlike. Was it a sign to the outside that Melania dreamed of escaping her boorish husband, the stuff of a thousand Resistance Twitter fever memes? Was it the physical manifestation of the Trumps casual cruelty? After all, Melania was flying down to where the administration locked up little kids in cages and tore them from the arms of their desperate parents. Did it mean nothing at all, like her spox insistedmaybe like Melania herself, a cipher whose eyes seem to betray an inner emptiness, like the infinite refraction of mirrored light off of all those gold-plated Trump Tower bathroom fixtures?
By contrast, Casey DeSantis coat is just like her husband Ron DeSantis campaign: Crude. Grasping. Saying the ugly part out loud. Whereas Trump would wink-wink at the fascistswho can forget his dog whistle to the very fine people on both sides at CharlottesvilleDeSantis wants to peel off Trumps base by being even more explicit about who he intends to target. You can see it right there on his wifes jacket: DeSantis Florida is where the woke go to dieand a lot of other people die as well.
