Satire does not mean fake. How else could the white hats tells us what is really happening - MSM? This is a way to share information with plausible deniability.

The 1 reason I’ve always refused to trust Desantis is that he gives a large part of Florida tax dollars to CPS (Child protective services) and we all know about their sick corruption and what they do with children!
Florida is ranked#2 for missing children in the U.S.

I don't think this is the original DeSantis, but I could be wrong. Possibly a body double, actor with mask, he made a deal (to save his life) and is simply playing the part white hats want him to, OR there is also the possibility he was an infiltrator and the deep state believed he was one of them.
