Florida Turning Blue

Florida has become a sad example of maga extremism but of a slightly different sort. The maggat governor there has decided he was a bigger maggat than the trump maggat and he is trying to move on beyond the maralago creep. 

Americans around the country are fighting back against the maga extremist because of issues such as reproduction rights, voting rights, worker rights, heathcare rights, etc. and it is happening in Florida too. The big difference, however, is the maga grip on local governments due to gerrymandering voter districts and this is how DeSantis has stayed in power in Florida. He somehow thinks this sham political power will get him elected president in 2024 and he is going up against the trump maggats. This will be an interesting upcoming primary season to see how many republicans turn against the loser trump.

In the meantime Florida has a chance to turn blue as people reject maga extremism. There is also the chance that the maggats will continue to hold Florida hostage and the result will be the state going blue from climate change.

We are seeing that happen with the many catastrophic hurricanes battering the state and more will come. The coastline is already changing and communities have been devastated.

America will remember that when DeSantis was in Congress he voted against financial aid for New York State after Hurricane Sandy. Florida is now completely dependent on federal aid to survive the recent hurricanes and how will they ever rebuild their communities. Only by going Blue one way or the other.
