Saving click: this is about migrant workers who might get arrested under new FL immigration law.

This may actually sink Desantas as a presidential candidate.
Nah, they’ll just spin the blame on “greedy migrants”, and you know people will buy that
People will buy that because Democrats are incapable of countering Republican narratives.
This is going to absolutely devastate Florida.
Good. This is what they wanted, as reflected by their votes.
They need as many people as possible to do work
No they don’t. The only thing they need is to be economically and politically quarantined. Florida has become an openly fascist state is a threat to the well-being of the US and the rest of its people. They need to understand the consequences of their choices.

Nope. DeSantis was never a viable opponent to Trump, and the numbers have reflected that from day one.
Good. You keep electing fascists, you deserve to suffer for your choice.

Sure, but DeSantis won a statewide election, unaffected by gerrymandering. So even though FL’s congress has more extreme people because of that, they’re not the only ones who enacted this law. They didn’t have to elect a fascist as a state, but they did.
Saying that, I do feel bad for the Floridians who didn’t vote for him and get fucked over because of this. But anyone who voted for DeSantis deserves whatever they get from his cruel actions.
Governor races are just as susceptible to gerrymandering as any other race.
I’ll take the stance this is actually a positive, since rebuilding after a hurricane in florida is a bad idea to begin with. It’s just gonna keep happening and keep intensifying in severity. The more people who relocate out the less people there’ll be at risk.
Let the conservatives stay as they insist. They claim it’s not happening and mock the normal people who have tried to warn them for decades. Fuck them. Maybe mother nature can help cleanse a little bit of conservatism from the planet.
And the less Electoral College votes that shithole has too. Let the Everglades reclaim it all.
Florida’s MAGA magnetism is a net positive for the rest of the country. They’re effectively gerrymandering themselves by packing into one voting area. Even if they gain EC votes, other areas of the country will be relatively more Blue and as Florida policies Brownback their quality of life, it’ll only help the Dems win votes.
You get what you vote for.
Sometimes you get what lobbyists pay for or badly drawn district maps tell electoral voters the people wanted, even if the popular vote disagreed.
In short, not always.
I can see Florida becoming the new Detroit over the next few storm seasons because of this.
Once the rot takes hold it’s a ton of work to reverse.
It won’t go that far unless people stop wanting to live in Florida. Since they are still building condos at the 500k+ level as fast as possible, I doubt they see significant decline.
Those condos are going to be 5M+ when every insurance company refuses to do business in Florida.
You reap what you sow Desantis.
Consequences are a bitch.
Lol I doubt DeSantis is feeling many consequences. I’m sure he’s got plenty of non destroyed property to chill at while the rest of the state suffers.
He’s definitely feeling his shitty polling numbers.

The big point you didn’t mention is that conservatives will consume whatever made up message is thrown at them, apply zero critical thinking and take whatever they accept as an authority as never lying to them. Their lying leader is more of a symptom of this scourge thats plauging all us regular, compassionate people in society
I wouldn’t go there either. Rebuilding is going to be slow.
