> “good riddance to bad rubbish” As someone who lives in California, I thought you were talking about us. I wish I could move to Florida. Seems like a better place to live in almost all regards.

There's nothing stopping you from moving? Unless of course, Florida's hurricanes, mosquitos, sinking land, horrible people, and lackluster economy are keeping you from moving there?

  As if earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides are something people look forward to.

    Notably, because CA has the nation's strongest building codes, we can handle Richter 6.0 earthquakes with essentially no damage except to the oldest buildings. OTOH, Florida begs for federal handouts every time there's a big storm because somehow they never get around to requiring developers to build flood-resistant structures.

  > horrible people When someone calls an entire population of a state, nation, or region as "horrible people"; we call them bigots. It is time for introspection and reflection when you get to a point where everyone you don't agree with are horrible people. And it is not even true, most cities in Florida are democrats, but IMO that shouldn't matter. Usually this would be flagged, but it goes with the party lines I suppose so it is allowed.

    Considering that the Florida governor's approval rating has gone up the more he picks on minorities and LGBTQ individuals, it's pretty clear that the governor's stance is shared by the overwhelming majority of Floridians, and I'm within my rights to think that the people who overwhelmingly think that my nephew is a freak are all horrible people. And it is not even true, most cities in Florida are democrats, but IMO that shouldn't matter. That is objectively false. Only the Miami-Dade metropolitan area in Florida leans blue.

      Yes that is my immediate gut reaction. Florida passed the don’t say gay bill and has a hard on for going after trans people that doesn’t appear to be going away.

    They didn’t even say all of Florida is awful people. You have a bad faith reading of their comment and then think up a bad faith conspiracy about why it is not flagged. The funniest thing of all is talking about generalizing all people when talking about a state that passed laws to demonize all lgbtqia people.
