I think we're creeping up on a point I'm trying to state in my own completely ineloquent way, and it's really unpopular amongst liberals.

Yes, in the end it's mostly just moving people who already had a certain belief around the country and concentrating them even more in Florida, in this case. What does that leave you with in Florida? A government that liberals, personally, hate and *is* actually based on a lot of hate itself. But it's a representative government of the people, right? DeSantis didn't foment a coup. He's insanely popular across the state and him and his ideas are only becoming more popular over the last few years. 10 years ago saying that someone with his beliefs would have won Hillsborough county would have been laughed at, right?

But here we are, and it's not being honestly discussed amongst liberals if the discussion is "People will rise up across Florida and stop this madness!" They don't think it's madness.
