Richard, you neglect to mention that despite all of this, record numbers of Americans are FLOCKING to Florida. Meaning record numbers of non-Floridians love what DeSatan is doing enough that they are relocating themselves here. What I'm saying is, you are talking to the wall. The people who care about what you are saying either aren't in Florida or are leaving. And the people who disagree with you are staying here and moving here in droves. It's time to leave Florida to the idiot Trumpers/Desatan followers. Let's just hope that there's a Democratic president in office when the next Cat 5 hurricane slams into Florida. So that he/she can say: "We ain't helping you with our federal 'overreach'. Good luck rebuilding!"

The dumbing down of America. Rick Scott 2 times Governor, now a Senator, Rubio, Gettz. Hopefully it can only get better.

DeSantis is the tipping point between decadent rethuglicans (Jeb Bush, Rick Scott and the insane legislators) who destroyed land use regulations, unleashing horrific environmental damage, Red Tide, and developer frenzy on one hand, and on the other, the illiterate Proud Boy voters who are chomping at the bit to salute the biggest mouths with the biggest guns, and bring our schools, hospitals, and institutions back to the Stone Age.

NAILED IT: “Encouraged by the continued legal jeopardy facing the mentally feeble Trump, the Yale- and Harvard-educated DeSantis is seizing every opportunity to cosplay as the GOP’s new Carnival Barking Clown.”

We sold everything in Florida retired early after a 35 year career in medicine and left the country. The writing was on the wall even then after Trump stole the 2016 election. Who knew a pandemic was coming and there would be an attempted coup in 2020?

Best decision ever. No regrets. Adiós Amerikkka.

You give the people of Florida far too much credit. Yes, desantis is a fascist POS, but enough Floridians obviously don’t care because he’s won elections in the past and the legislature is heavily Republican as well.
