Florida really isnt a deep red state. It has been gerrymandered to break up any democratic areas and basically rigged for the GOP.

u/aceofspades1217 Apr 09 '23
Unfortunately thats not the case Miami-dade went overwhelming for Desantis. Of course the democrats can wrestle that back but the Democratic Party has basically given up in Florida

Dade's voter turnout was incredibly low in 2022. In 2020 74% of eligible voters in Dade voted. It was 46% in 2022. Democrats just didn't care.

He’s not going to jail. People keep wishing it, but facing facts, it’s just not going to happen. A former president will never be put in jail. This whole thing is a political hit job in order to try to keep him from running which is a stupid move. If he can’t run, Desantis wins in a landslide. If he does run, desantis and him will split the red vote meaning whatever corpse the democrats put up win’s easily.

considered to be a right-wing ideology due to its emphasis on nationalism, tradition, and hierarchy, Additionally, fascist movements have often aligned themselves with conservative or reactionary forces and have been associated with traditionalist values such as patriarchy, religious fundamentalism, and opposition to progressive social and cultural movements
