I appreciate the thought, but there’s plenty of “true” Floridians who are so far right leaning they’d rather listen to businesses that would rape the land and not care about the damage than the environmental experts who are pleading with us to do exactly the opposite.

We don’t have to “no true scotsman” this thing. Some Floridians care, some don’t. Some who were born here and lived here a lifetime think the environment should take one more for the team, and folks who move here halfway through their lives think it’s abhorrent that industry gets away with what it gets away with here. It runs a gamut.

You mean a bunch of hyper conservatives from other states got mad that their state actually handled the pandemic like adults, and decided to move to a state that willfully manipulated and then covered up data re: covid and kept the state running as if it was business as usual?

You mean other fascist wannabe’s like the fascist strongman who says and does the things they like and decided to move where their fascist strongman is making moves to set himself up as a king?

You don’t say!

One of my great-aunts went blind due to her untreated diabetes.

Would have loved to see her live to have some hope of seeing again.
