What has become of Florida is really tragic.
The state had, for a few optimistic years, some hope that it would become a solid blue state and turn away from it's racist past.
That ideal has been completely demolished by the Racist Far Right. In fact, arguably, the state has actually attracted far-right lunatics and racists from long-standing Blue states (see: The Villages).
After witnessing the social and economic destruction caused by "electing" a fraud as President, Florida has elevated an idiot racist/doofus as Governor. The state has filled the Florida House & Senate with far-right extremists, and has sent absolute scum to the US House and Senate.
Make no mistake, the right to protest in Florida has been effectively eliminated for any left-of-center groups. We're a fascist state now.
