A pejorative nickname for Ron DeSantis, the Republican Governor of Florida, formed by replacing '-Santis' with '-Satan' to imply demonic or malevolent qualities. The portmanteau emerged in progressive political discourse, particularly on social media, as a sharp rhetorical attack on DeSantis's policy positions. Like similar political nickname coinages, it's partisan, intentionally provocative, and used primarily by critics to signal strong opposition. It functions more as a rhetorical weapon than a neutral descriptor.
Protesters outside the convention center held signs reading 'DeSatan' as the governor took the stage inside.
