    As a recovering ex-Floridian, the cities are pretty blue, just you know normal regressive fuckery keeps this from being apparent.

    Plenty of minorities tired of old rich white men too. This year is going to be interesting.

      The Florida State Supreme Court also thoughtfully put abortion access and marijuana legalization on the November ballot. They should be expecting a pretty noticeable increase in the 18-24 age range participating in the election.

        I can’t see Florida going for legal weed, arresting people for 3 flecks of shake is 20% of the cops’ income.

          DickSantis would absolutely veto such a bill, even if the state legislature passed it.

            I’m not familiar with Florida’s ballot initiative process, but if it’s on the ballot, it’s not going through the legislature and likely not eligible for a veto.

              Not to mention Medical has been legal there by constitutional amendment since 2016. 2 very conservative voters I know down there (Father and his best Friend) both hold medical cards now for it and would vote for it to pass even while voting for Trump. If Desantis vetoed it, if would weaken his ability to ever become Senator/Congressman for the state when his last term as overlord ends.

            He would and it would make his little micropeen very very upright. He’s even hurting the rich of the state with his stupid af policies. Literally the only people in the entire state who benefit from him are his cronies yet EVERY MAGA CHUD in the whole fucking geographical penis will gladly vote him in for life.

            His sewage regulation removal basically shut miles of prime vacation beach down for 3 years due to raw sewage causing a persistent red tide. In some cases dense enough to be literally red (which is rare outside of whale carcasses or mass dieoffs, and those never last for more than a few weeks).

      Except a large part of South Florida. They will vote for Republicans because so many Cubans and Venezuelans believe the propaganda that Democrats are socialists.

        Outside of Miami Cubans hold little sway but within their counties they are a very conservative and highly anti-immigration group.

        The thing about The Villages, it’s mostly a retirement community.

        Not all the trophy wives stay conservative once their husband has passed on.
