At least around here on these forums, a DeSantis or other Gen X presidential win would be interesting given the timing (yes I know Obama was also technically X but he's on the cusp between Boomer & X). We may be seeing the beginnings of leadership finally passing onto the next generations after decades of Boomer/Silent leadership. We may not be fans of DeSantis's policies either during most of the COVID-19 pandemic or now, but maybe he was thinking of practicalities when he kept his state open. Maybe he was thinking 'What ways can we still function with this virus circulating around?' Here we are in 2022 with plenty of vaccines/boosters and the rest of the country probably has a similar line of thinking these days: 'We know it's circulating but we have vaccines/boosters people should be responsible to get so we can now safety get back to work.' Other parts of the world opened schools up sooner than some of the states in the USA once it became clear which demographics were statistically at highest and lowest risks.
