Buckle up. The Trump menagerie is headed to Florida

Suddenly, Florida has a new raison d’être: America’s designated Trump sump, a depository for our departing (hopefully, please God, just make him go) president and his offspring.

After a subtle nudge from 81 million American voters, 59 unfavorable court decisions, 306 electoral college electors, followed by repudiation from both a congressional majority and his personal butler Mike Pence, the president and his clan are finally abandoning Joe Biden’s Washington for oh-so-indulgent Florida.

Here, they’ll find themselves embraced by a worshipful contingent of MAGA zealots, including (depending on the range of his court-ordered GPS ankle monitor) that grinning Manatee County rioter who paraded through the halls of Congress toting Nancy Pelosi’s lectern. (As Jimmy Kimmel noted Wednesday evening, “It took them a couple days to scrub the Florida off of it, but the lectern should be good to go.”
.........
For too many of the Trumps and Trump cultists in Washington that awful day, going home means they’re coming our way.

Trump moving to Florida may turn Florida blue.

The NIMBY effect.

Governor has so screwed up the vaccination rollout, I wonder just how welcoming his reception will be.
