Because they fail to understand/recognize how many more people suffered and died due to DeS policies. Ignorance is bliss
Regardless of what he says he has repeatedly shown his authoritarian and punituve tendencies and inability to deal with reality that he doesn't like
DeSantis has a glass jaw and a short fuse. It was present in the debate with Crist. The crucible of a presidential campaign will expose his frailties and shortcomings. Also, for whatever reason, this country hasn't elected someone in the TV era shorter than 5'10" for whatever that's worth.
70% of the seats with 60% of the votes. Overruling your own legislature who was trying to avoid litigation, knowing that the courts would back you up regardless. And control of the House may hang in the balance.

I know exactly what it is. I know that this disease was extremely dangerous to the elderly and the overweight (obese/diabetes). And not very dangerous to most. But we ignored this reality.

No fan of DeSantis but the fact the election deniers that he supported lost really isn't indicative of how well he would do outside of Florida if he was running on his own. Gov. Youngkin of Virginia did the same as DeSantis and most of the Republicans for whom he campaigned outside of Virginia, a number of whom were the same ones DeSantis supported also lost. Voters in swing states just weren't buying candidates promoting election denial no matter what other politician campaigned on their behalf.
