This is going to be a nationwide problem.
This is not bad for Florida as they will likely make Florida redder on net.
Most of these refugees are right-wingers running away from psycho Hochul's dictatorship.
The real bad news is that this will make Florida a vote sink when it comes to distribution of votes in federal elections.
This year's path to a house majority surprisingly relied on Lee Zeldin doing amazing in a governor race against Hochul in New York of all places and this led to the carrying of downballot races in even blue congressional districts which netted about 5 house seat flips to the GOP. Without those seats, Dems would have kept the house without breaking a sweat.
I can sympathize with fellow conservatives wanting to flee blue states but if everyone moves to Florida, it dooms the nation when it comes to federal elections.
This is only true if you think there's a political solution to socialist tyranny.
If there isn't, then consolidating people, money and resources in areas we firmly control makes excellent strategic sense in preparation for a civil war.
This. It's only been a couple days I'm already fucking sick of hearing about what Republicans can do in 2024 (spoiler alert: it's always about being more Democrat than the Democrats) and the Trump/DeSantis feud. It's all a side show because we could run a Romney/Murkowski ticket and the Dems would still cheat us out of the election. After announcing that those two are the second coming of Hitler of course.
Those of who are behind enemy lines (myself included) need to get the fuck to safety so we'll be of use when the time comes.
Indeed physical control over territory and resources is the real premium, and it's much better for it to be fortified than spread out.
