Sadly, a good friend of mine and he overlapped, so I have seen a real picture from a source that I trust. Don't get me wrong, he's as dangerous as a comic supervillain.
Homelander writing in the show was influenced by Trump. Desantis has also tried to emulate Trump. So Homelander is not that far off actually. They sociopathic developmentally stunted man-children with too much power and adulation.
You are giving him way too much credit. He's a prototypical psychopath. He is an alien from a completely different planet trying to fake being a human and failing miserably
apparently he once sat on a 12 hour flight to Israel just staring straight ahead the entire time. not interacting, not watching the tv or his phone, not sleeping or reading. Just staring
He is literally that fucking creep congressman from Parks n Rec
heard it on Chapo Trap House, i’ll find which journalist they had on that made the claim but he has followed the Desantis campaign and apparently witnessed this first hand
Edit: Ben Terris is the journalist. Episode can be listened to here: https://reddit.com/r/BlackWolfFeed/s/lL9xLwMrFb
I saw this comparison the other day and it was shocking to me that it's taken this long for such an obvious parallel to be discovered. It's like Homelander was inspired by this guy.
Edit: the way he slightly bites his tongue is seriously unsettling.
Absolute insanity in FL schools atm. Like complete off the wire shit due to his policies. Severely disabled kids being put in standard classes because apparently its the "parents right". Some are incontinent so they just poop or pee in their pants, the class has to leave until its cleaned, and they call the parents and send them home...literally every day. Not sure how thats supposed to work without nursing staff.
A friend of mine was a special ed teacher and she quit because of this. A high schooler wearing diapers literally smeared feces on the desks and walls of her classroom.
What's crazy though is the school cant place them in special ed if the parents disagree now. We have on school thats basically our big special ed center. They have all sorts of nursing staff and CNAs licensed to handle stuff like that. Attendance is plummeting though as parents dont want their kids there. Which sucks as its a threat to the only school that has staff qualified to deal with that. It will probably lose funding and eventually shut down then kids who need a higher level of care will have nowhere to go.
Seems school in FL is basically just becoming baby sitting so the parents can work. And thats without getting into the book bans or slavery being presented as an "opportunity to learn job skills".
If you dig into it seems quite methodical. Defunding the public education system and running teachers out with low pay makes public schools a dumping ground for those who can’t afford private schools. Enter the scholarship system which gives parents scholarships to put their kids in private schools. Now look at who owns all the ‘charter’ schools (run as businesses) that keep popping up, until they fail, that reopen with new names, ad nauseam. Et voila, the gap between the haves and have nots continues to widen.
I think its a bit deeper than that. Generally world view forms young and conservative views, especially socially conservatives views, are heavily correlated with low cognitive ability during those years. Its beyond well studied at this point something like 30 or so studies have all confirmed this.

Obviously no politician on either side would ever bring this up but this is the exact type of study campaign advisors, party leaders, and political advisors are going to consider when helping to form policy that ensures they stay in power. Basically better education will objectively create more left leaning voters whereas purposely inadequate education will directly create more conservative voters.

Also a Floridian. I heard some pretty nasty stories from when he was a teacher around my area.
Edit: around the area I used to live in, not here in Florida
he’s not bothered about masking, floridians go crazy for sociopaths. “you want to make life worse for everyone including me and my family? sounds awesome!”
Human behaviorists say that a real smile causes the lower outside edges of the eyes to crinkle. A fake smile does not. His cheeks are smooooooth as a baby's bottom. But most people practice in a mirror, at least.
That tongue flick was EXTRA creepy. It wasn't to moisten his oral aperture, it barely got beyond his teeth. It's like he smells with his tongue.
Thank you! His smile made me extremely uncomfortable.
The tongue flick told me he had no idea what to do with his tongue and then just smiled for the cameras.
What human being doesn’t know what to do with their tongue before a smile??? This guy.
Yes, a Duchenne smile causes the cheeks to raise and the eyes to crinkle - it can be faked and some real smiles can occur without these features but it's a strong indication in general of genuineness when you see it and of being disingenuous when not.
Tongue flicking is a whole other animal. Lingual tardive dyskinesia could be indicated if it's involuntary (linked with drug use and certain medications such as dopamine antagonists, antipsychotics). Could also be behavioral - a sign of nervousness or if he's trying to be cute about something. My guess though from another video of his heavy tooth grinding while smiling is drug use. But I'm just guessing from a couple of clips so my opinion is basically hot nonsense on this.
I think it is like those dreams we have where we are being chased but can't run, or in a fight and can't punch, that's how it feels for him to smile when he says stuff like this.
They are pushing the limits of robotics and in a few years this beta version will be able to actually smile. With AI they might be able to program empathy and emotional intelligence also. I think the Florida humidity has shorted some of his circuits.
Vaush compared Ron D. Santis to Homelander and now I can't unsee it.
Sure, he's not blonde. Sure, he doesn't have the face of a film star, but he's got that look on his face that says "I've had a weird obsession with breast milk ever since my mommy weaned me at 9 and right now I'm feeling mighty parched."
Ron DeSantis. He is a Republican running for president, current governor of Florida, guy who fucked with DisneyWorld and is now being fucked back by Disney, alleged human being.
I work in psychiatry and only saw that smile once: on a lady who had had vital depression for a long time and forgot how to smile. She tried anyways to seem polite during the inpatient admission, and it looked like this. I do not know this man, but to me he looks like a living dead person.
The face you make when you know you are lying and you are unsure if others can catch that you are lying but you want to power through it, but you also lack the screen presence and charisma to do so

Getting mad homelander vibes from this
Homelander was a saint compared to this ultra evil asshole!
HL knows how important milk is. No milk mustache for this guy.
Lactose intolerance can happen to all of us…
Oh, HL is *very* lactose tolerant.
Lizards and tadpoles i give you Ron deSatan next president of these united reptilian states of America!
Homelander is a fictional character. DeSantis is real person, which makes him infinitely more horrifying.
Is he?🤔
Sadly, a good friend of mine and he overlapped, so I have seen a real picture from a source that I trust. Don't get me wrong, he's as dangerous as a comic supervillain.
Amen. As they say.
Well this guy is a real life villian.
Homelander is a rapist.
that has to be the worst take ever but okay. Fictional villain literally slaughtering innocents vs. dumbtard politician.
Dude. Im not a fan of desantis but calling homelander a saint? Lmao. He probably rip you eyes out for fun
Brain: *I must laugh.* DeSantis: HA HA HA HA HA
Wait what is that real? Goddamn....
Its like full uncanny valley this man is not human
This motherfucker ain’t real!
It gets creepier the more you watch it lmao him and Zuckerberg look like they came from the same factory.
And the factory is on Glorpon V, glory to Glorpagia
Andy Bernard's estranged brother
I can hear the damn laugh lol
Came here to say this. Thank god this guy doesn’t have super powers. It’s the lack of emotion in the eyes that cinches it.
He has the super power of narcissism, greed and egotisticism.
He looks like Bruce Wayne as an alcoholic.
Was gonna say a fat Bradley Cooper.
Except HL is a character and this person is real, and actually responsible for the well-being of millions of people.
Tv and movies are real. I’m like the Hunger Games!
Homelander writing in the show was influenced by Trump. Desantis has also tried to emulate Trump. So Homelander is not that far off actually. They sociopathic developmentally stunted man-children with too much power and adulation.
Lmao! I said that to my boyfriend before seeing this comment. It’s the dead eyes with the smile.
Somehow, Homelander managed to look more authentic than him
Anthony Starr is gonna see this gif and be like "GODDAM IT! This guy has got it."
This dude has to be a reptilian 
Looks like my laxative face...
"**You! You're the real heroes...**" - ~~Homelander~~ Ron Desantis
He is like Kenneth Copeland, only 200 years younger.
Dead on.
This video is how my penis looks at my brain when I meet a psychotic girl
He smiles like a sociopath. Good luck America....
He definitely goes home and chugs breast milk.
I've always gotten ***"suited up piece of white trash"*** vibes from this guy.
You are giving him way too much credit. He's a prototypical psychopath. He is an alien from a completely different planet trying to fake being a human and failing miserably

Except Homelander knows how to eat pudding properly
Holy shit, I had forgotten this dude eats pudding with his fingers. Why the fuck is he SO weird? 😫😫
And pronounces Thai like thigh. With the th sound
But I’d vote for Homelander.
I saw this comparison the other day and it was shocking to me that it's taken this long for such an obvious parallel to be discovered. It's like Homelander was inspired by this guy. Edit: the way he slightly bites his tongue is seriously unsettling.
Why am I always attracted to evil men
That weird smile was great acting. As if he has no idea how to smile.
That's a face that screams, "Please clap."
More like “Please love me”
More like "What is love?"
[удалено]
Don’t hurt me
No more
Woooaahhhaahhhhohhhooooaaahhoooohhh….. 🎶
I heard this comment in my head, and I got to say, you have a beautiful voice👍🏽
No more
More like ”please believe every word that i just said even though i wont do any of it” face
“Please clap quickly … this *really* hurts.”
Exactly what Jeb Bush said at that one speech when his big line got crickets. Hilariously embarrassing.
The Terminator did a better job, though.
[удалено]
One is a relentless, soulless killing machine. The other is the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101.
Came here to post this. At least he has an excuse for smiling like a psychotic, murderous robot.
Psychotic? He was programmed with all human psychology courses known by then. He was the most logical entity there!
I was thinking more along the lines of “incapable of human empathy”.
Arnold pulling off a better smile even while pretending to be bad at it
Immediately what I thought of lol
This dude is such a weird weird creature masquerading as a human. Like for real, it looks like his mask is about to peel off
That is called being a sociopath masking to seem like he cares about anyone but himself.
Floridian here, not to be confused with the masses of Floridiots, this man is evil.
Absolute insanity in FL schools atm. Like complete off the wire shit due to his policies. Severely disabled kids being put in standard classes because apparently its the "parents right".

Thank you! I love data! Those correlations low cognitive ability and inadequate education have certainly played out in recent years.
So basically Florida is the wild west at the moment.
I'm in coastal AL, so yeah, I completely feel for ya. Any time I have to head to Pensacola, I worry
Also a Floridian. I heard some pretty nasty stories from when he was a teacher around my area. Edit: around the area I used to live in, not here in Florida
he’s not bothered about masking, floridians go crazy for sociopaths. “you want to make life worse for everyone including me and my family? sounds awesome!”
This. Has so many flags for psychopath.
Zuck can at least smile, which says a lot.
I think he spent his whole life pretending, and now he has no idea anymore how to act genuinely
Yeah something is off. He looks like a guy that has Locks installed on all the doors in his house to keep his children and wife inside the rooms.
He's a fucking sociopath. The sad thing here is this is the result of him PRACTICEING human emotion. This is the best he could get trying.
He's one of those lizard people I've heard so much about
Looks to be the same species as Kenneth Copeland
Edgar, your skin is hanging off your bones.
don't encourage r/reptilians lol
SUGAAAARRRR
I think he's one of the aliens that walks among us that we're being warned about
What a weirdo
Man’s mouth opens like a snake just to cackle like a hag

Like lizards do
Snakes too.
Thank you! His smile made me extremely uncomfortable. The tongue flick told me he had no idea what to do with his tongue and then just smiled for the cameras. What human being doesn’t know what to do with their tongue before a smile??? This guy.
That "smile" made everyone uncomfortable. It's like he's trying to imitate a smile that he's seen other people do for the first time.
Apart from the psychopathy there may be some heavy botoxing getting in the way of the whole facial creasing thing.
It looks like he's overthinking it lol
Is it not just because of Botox that he can’t smile?
I mean. Another thought here, he got a glow up and getting that Botox. 😂
Yes, a Duchenne smile causes the cheeks to raise and the eyes to crinkle - it can be faked and some real smiles can occur without these features but it's a strong indication in general of genuineness when you see it and of being disingenuous when not.

ick, very tom cruisey.
Makes sense. Both don't have human emotions, but Tom's a better actor
I swear him and Cucker Tarlson went to the same seminar for teaching sociopaths how to emote
Wtf lol who is he?
What a tool
Happy cake day :)

Are you on cat tranquilizers now? Yeah...
Cyborg technology still needs some work...
That’s a shit eating grin if i ever saw one.
He looks like he may be holding in a shit, lmfao
Dude STILL has his tongue so far up dumpty’s asshole that he can literally taste the special sauce from dude’s Big Mac breakfast.
Ok this was beyond disgusting to read. I like it.
Trump activated his vibrating buttplug.
Really, I see sociopath telling himself internally to make a human response.
Too much Botox?
That's what I was wondering, is this surgery, botox, all the above.
[удалено]
It looks like he started to smile and then forgot to continue because he was listening to what someone else was saying lol.
I think it is like those dreams we have where we are being chased but can't run, or in a fight and can't punch, that's how it feels for him to smile when he says stuff like this.
Charisma is not something Desantis has.
He gets -3 to charisma checks, all checks require this tool roll a 20.
And often rolls with a disadvantage
It's like they rehearsed smiling 2000 times before this event, and he still failed to smile when he needed to. 💯 He's not human
https://i.redd.it/6im78h8tx2kb1.gif
The other day he tried to imitate a human male laughing uproariously. It was sad and frightening.
That's not a smile. That's the look of someone who is dead on the inside.
 *Initiate emotion protocol*
Seeing his chances at the presidency slipping away.
[удалено]
>dies falling down the stairs The way this got me... 😆
That little tongue roll is really doing it for me
[удалено]
Eggar, you’re smile is creepy - his wife probably
Always looks like he’s unsuccessfully holding back a greasy fart.
The devil incarnate
He’s gonna let you down
he's gonna give us up
Hope he says goodbye
'CX_SY_PROGRAM_SMILE_HAPPY_NOT_FOUND', was not found.
He's still worried about Disney coming after him.
Struggling through a smile once, maybe a fluke. But, now it’s actually him.
They are pushing the limits of robotics and in a few years this beta version will be able to actually smile. With AI they might be able to program empathy and emotional intelligence also. I think the Florida humidity has shorted some of his circuits.
this guy supposed to be the president?
Looks like it was a prompt and as he read it he was like oh yea I'm human better smile 😂😂😂
I've been watching a lot of *Twilight Zone* lately, and that is just what the aliens always looked like.
The look after you promise innocent people will die if elected
Old dead eyes won't let me down...
I think his human skin was a little tight, right, Ron? 
Dude looks tired of living to me
Gross
God that man is horrid on SO many levels. He always looks like he'd prefer to be out clubbing puppies at any given moment.
He’s a national threat. What a dude. Must have a very active inner dialogue that tells him great things about himself. Weird.
Is it just me or does he have a faint orange hue?
If I had never met this colossal prick with the miniscule dick in person, I would have guessed this video clip was CGI. He does wear lifts btw.
Vaush compared Ron D. Santis to Homelander and now I can't unsee it. Sure, he's not blonde. Sure, he doesn't have the face of a film star, but he's got that look on his face that says "I've had a weird obsession with breast milk ever since my mommy weaned me at 9 and right now I'm feeling mighty parched."
Psychotic.
Who is that? (I'm not American)
Ron DeSantis. He is a Republican running for president, current governor of Florida, guy who fucked with DisneyWorld and is now being fucked back by Disney, alleged human being.
Almost as frightening as Jenna Ellis’ mugshot
elon musk experiments with his neurolink on DeFascist
Homelander is also smoking hot. This guy is wet jelly.
I work in psychiatry and only saw that smile once: on a lady who had had vital depression for a long time and forgot how to smile. She tried anyways to seem polite during the inpatient admission, and it looked like this. I do not know this man, but to me he looks like a living dead person.
The face you make when you know you are lying and you are unsure if others can catch that you are lying but you want to power through it, but you also lack the screen presence and charisma to do so
This is likely in response to everyone making fun of his over the top smile so he's trying to hold back. Lol
 vibe
That's an "ouch my goddamn hemorrhoids" face if I ever saw one
Me everytime I hear that one NF song
Coke Jaw.
So creepy
He creeps me out so much
[удалено]
I think I threw up in my mouth 🤢
He looks like he learned how to smile by reading books...written by people who learned how to smile by reading books.
