(8,039 posts)There's a BIG difference between "small government & low taxes" & crazy crap like this & the garbage culture war DeFascist is waging, & at least where I live, people see that. I have conservative neighbors that scoff at things like this & say it's crazy.
My view, living here, is that the more they do stuff like this & the abortion ban & book banning & drag show banning etc the more they push average Floridians away from the radical right, in a more moderate direction, in our direction. Every conservative/Republican I know here (personally know, average folks) views things like this as "lunatic fringe."
Now they (& we) need to translate that into votes, so the lunatics don't get elected! The opportunity is there.
I swear if a good Democratic candidate ran on things like fixing the homeowners insurance crisis (probably the #1 issue of most homeowners in FL) there's a good chance they'd win.
