    I think that’s the point of DeSantis’ policies, to make it as uncomfortable for typically Democratic voting people to live or do their jobs there as possible. And unfortunately it’s working, and shouldn’t be seen as a negative consequence to the Republicans. For keeping themselves in power, this is gold.

    The people who are going to suffer the most from this are the residence of Florida. Even from a schadenfreude pov, those residence aren’t just Republican voters. but people who don’t have the luxury of packing up and leaving. This also includes many disenfranchised voters probably don’t like the state of decay in their state, but can’t do anything to stop it or escape it.

      Yeah, unfortunately I have a feeling like the people who saw this coming and got the hell out of Dodge had a lot of overlap with the people best positioned to meaningfully resist.
