    Did you know that most voters in Florida don’t agree with this shit and that taking glee in the potential eradication of an entire people and their home is exactly the same kind of shit that racists do when they blame all Muslims for terrorism or Hitler and the Nazis did when they targeted a population for their religion (or for simply being related to someone who was a Jew)?

    The examples of this “they’re the bad guys” generalism is part of the problem. If you’re really so enlightened, don’t be part of the problem, too, it only alienates more who might be part of solving the problem if they weren’t ostracized over something as stupid as their birthplace or where they choose to live.

      I mean they voted for the people that do this stuff. Just by nature of how voting works, a majority of them likely agree.

      DeSantis won his last election by the largest margin in a Florida election in over 40 years

      If this isn’t what people there want, they’ve got a very strange way of showing it.

      “Floridian” is not “a people” in the sense you’re trying to use the word (I mean, really, comparing them to the Jews, lol). If someone wants to stick around while the ocean slowly swallows up the panhandle, that’s their business.
