Mother Earth will decide for us. Harshly with the denier states hurting the most.

6. Why do some here seem giddy at the possibility of Floridians dying?

I see it all the time here. When hurricane season starts or some potentially lethal weather event occurs in a red state, some people here make jokes and say that they deserved it. It is weirdo behavior and, frankly, rather psychotic.

9. A lot of people buy into the blue state/red state nonsense.

And they can't see any further than that. Florida is run by Republicans, so everyone must be a Republican.

Of course, in reality, nearly half the voting public in FL are Democrats, but we'll just ignore the 10+ million people they represent.

Even if they were all Republicans, this kind of stuff is pretty misguided.

Guilt by association, I guess. It's simplistic nonsense, but it's very, very common on DU.

11. Satire is not meant to be taken seriously or literally.

That said, I apologize to anyone offended or hurt by my post. I thought my use of Gawd would have communicated I was being satirical.

I have a dear friend who is in Milton's expected path of destruction and I fear for his and his family's safety. It is horrific and tragic beyond words what is happening there and I should have been more sensitive. Meanwhile over the last 8 years the MAGA crowd posts far crazier and hateful things about Democrats without a trace of satire.
