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

This idea that “oh if there’s any liberals left” is so smug and to me, is part of the reason why Florida and many other GOP-ruled states are where they are. The idea that the people who don’t like these regimes will move to New York, Illinois, or California is out of touch and absurd.
With trans people alone, it’s estimated that 1.2-1.8% of the population of the US is trans. Florida’s population is 22.25 million. 400,000+ people should not have to become refugees in their own country. This cannot be the “response” to these laws.
Florida is a fascist State, and I wish people would adopt the attitude toward “regime change” that they have for Russia when talking about Desantis.

“In the eyes of some”? It doesn’t matter what the others think, he’s operating within the definition of fascism.
Man is literally remaking the state’s university system in line with historical fascists and some “journalists” out there just talking about him like he’s just another conservative. The whole state is marked “do not travel” on the trans-risk map by Erin Reed, since we now live in a world where they will arrest trans people for using the bathroom, even if they’ve legally transitioned. People being like “hurdurr how will they enforce that” like bruh they will just violate your privacy
Imagine being this dumb thinking the right is the fascists. Bloody amazing.
Why is it dumb? Can you tell me how restricting rights of women to bodily autonomy is any of the state’s business or that of it’s conservative constituents? Why is there an effort to stamp out a section of society over made up fears?
dont feed the ‘bears’
I don’t agree with it, but you must realize that the counterpoint is not with the intention to “restrict bodily autonomy” but because they believe life has value before birth. Be fair please.
Little too late it seems. But if they are going to do something, then they better get a move on, lots of people moving out of state.
It’s bad down here.
The Republican strategy there seems to be deterring liberals from coming or staying in the state through these laws. At the same time whatever children are there will have a very watered dawn education to indoctrinate them and filter our former atrocities.
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
IMHO let all the R’s move to Florida and concentrate themselves there. Make the rest of the states purple/blue.
you going to help the people who didn’t choose to live there get out? Really tired of people forgetting about marginalized and minorities getting the worst of this in these states. Also even if we could, you want to take all the fascists and get them together in a single spot that they can then use to strengthen their “Us vs Them” arguments? That’s how you get deadlier and even worst fascists.
“hurrdurr lets just force 400,000+ people to become internally displaced refugees because as a liberal I’m too timid and cowardly to fight fascism. I’m sure they’ll just stay in their state and not try to impose their views on the rest of the country”
I’m a Florida refugee mysekf with family there.
Kinda makes it worse. You got out so screw everyone else?
