I am sure many Floridians are sick of Florida man stories. That we should not broad brush all Florida men as assholes. But damn, Trump, DeSatan, Rubio, Gaetz, Scott, and wasn’t Epstein a Florida man? Well, We have a few here in North Carolina as well, some recent winners, Mesdows, Cawthorn, Burr, McCrury and that idiot in a truck with a “Bomb” in DC. We do however have a huge number of Floridian second home rich folk up here, maybe infiltrating and influencing our mouth breathers. Bottom line, America has an asshole problem, far and wide. Why one stole a seat in the highest office in 2016. We like assholes, most can relate to em and follow the best of the best assholes over a ledge. Maybe not a “Shithole” country, but damn sure an “asshole” dense country.

That's a complete assumption on your part BradAllison Jan 2022 #28
