(25,725 posts)When I first moved to Florida in the mid 80's it was fairly liberal. Hell it seemed like pot was legal even though it wasn't. It was laid back and the SE. counties ruled the mood. Sure the inland more rural areas sucked ass and had kkk fuckers out in the open but it didn't feel that way in the urban places. I didn't love it but can't say I didn't like much of my time there.
Even through the 90's there was Walk'n Lawton Chiles.
But now? It smells like Orban-lite. Once the repujes got power they consolidated it. New College in Sarasota has had its super smart hippy theme liquidated. I am certain that deSatan has perverted the State Local relationships and courts and everything else. They are not lazy.
Then I think that over the last 8 years the state has been to knuckle dragging conservatives like a porch light to bugs. The internal migration.
I think I will go look the data up to see what the hell has happened over the last decades
