DeSantis’ New Book ‘The Courage to Be Free’ Praises President Donald J. Trump

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” — entry in Winston Smith’s diary, from George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has published a new book titled “The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival.”

We have written about how Governor DeSantis and his initiatives have made the Sunshine state a beacon of freedom. In our column Governors who care about freedom must adopt the ‘DeSantis Model’ before 2024 we wrote,

After the 2022 midterm elections is has become clear that there is a winning model for elections at the state level. This model is based upon understanding what people really want and then giving it to them. What people want the most is freedom. Freedom to make their personal decisions when it comes to healthcare, education, the economy, careers, investments and who represents them.

The who represents them is key in that it demands that elections from the school house to the White House be both free and fair.

QUESTION: How do we get there?

ANSWER: The DeSantis Model!

We call this back to the future model the “DeSantis Model” because it fully implements the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Tenth Amendment states:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Founding Fathers wanted limited government at the Federal level and vast powers invested in the states and the people.

The DeSantis Model is a the personification in practice of the MAGA Movement at the state level. The MAGA movement, like the DeSantis Model, is all about the three “Fs” — Faith, Family and Freedom.

In his book Governor DeSantis recognizes the impact of the MAGA movement and Donald J. Trump, not only on the Republican Party, but on our nation.

Here are some direct DeSantis quotes from “The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival” that bring this to the forefront.

• “Trump also brought a unique star power to the race. If someone had asked me, as a kid growing up in the eighties and nineties, to name someone who was rich, I — and probably nearly all my friends — would have responded by naming Donald Trump.”
• “Some DC commentators have opined that Donald Trump’s nomination represented a hostile takeover of the Republican Party. But this analysis gets it exactly backward.”
• “Since Ronald Reagan flew back to California on January 20, 1989, the GOP grass roots had been longing for someone who rejected the old-guard way of doing business and who could speak to their concerns and aspirations.”
• “Trump supported policies that appealed to the base in a way that GOP leaders in the DC swamp had been either incapable of doing or unwilling to do.”
• “I knew that a Trump endorsement would provide me with the exposure to GOP primary voters across the State of Florida, and I was confident that many would see me as a good candidate once they learned about my record.”

President Donald J. Trump became the gold standard for those who want to be free. Free from big government, free from the swamp in Washington, D.C. and free from those from the school house to the White House who wish to gain and keep power at the expense of we the people.

As the 2024 presidential election cycle is under way the words of Governor Ron DeSantis will further energize the MAGA Movement and its founder and leader Donald J. Trump.

Faith, family and freedom are the hallmarks of the MAGA Movement. It doesn’t get any better than this.

The Bottom Line

Here’s a video titled “The ‘F’ word” given by American author, energy theorist, industrial policy pundit and founder and President of the Center for Industrial Progress  Alex Epstein. It lays out why the MAGA Movement and DeSantis Model inextricably leads to human prospering, which leads to winning culturally, socially and politically.

Governors must dedicate themselves to their people and empower them to make decisions that are right for themselves, their families and the community. The key word is responsibility. Taking responsibility for one’s actions is key and this ends up in how elections are conducted and their consequences.

Live free or die is not just a slogan it’s the truth! Today telling the truth has become a revolutionary act.

Remember 2+2=4.
