Progressives aim to reinstate equilibrium to state’s lopsided politics that DeSantis has, in the eyes of some, dragged into fascism

Florida is different because so many older, more conservative retirees move to Florida. And they vote. If it wasn’t for that, Florida would probably have been pretty solidly blue at this point.
On the other hand, that has opened up other states for Democrats, e.g. Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Florida is red because of gerrymandering.
Biden lost the popular vote in Florida by one or two percent. IRC De Santis won the state by less than 1%. Voters have often and overwhelmingly voted in favour of ‘left-wing’ ballot initiatives too.
It should be a swing state.
In any case, conservative retirees may be moving to Florida, but they’re also mor likely to leave Florida and this mortal coil than the average voter.
*illegal gerrymandering
Let’s not forget, Florida passed an anti-gerrymandering law. DeSantis straight up ignored it
Or on occasion, the Supreme Court decides that Fla votes R for them.
And wouldn’t you know it, some of the people in that case are now on the court
