    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. He is lying. They are absolutely NOT extinct. We still need to finish them or they will slither right back into power.

    As long as conservatives continue to live, they will oppress everyone around them. That is who they are at their core. Fascist oppressors. Do not believe their cries of “extinction”. They will come right back if we don’t truly make them extinct.

    for those who don’t know, florida isn’t that much different from many large states, with a lot of land where the bumfuck uneducated hick counties with a population of 3000 are overwhelmingly republican, while the counties with smart people–cities; college towns-- are >80% blue

    what sets florida apart is that this is where rich retired entitled myshitdontstink republicans go to live the final years of their asshole lives and vote red. google “florida the villages” --yea, that’s real life. also google “FL villages STDs”-- that’s also real life

    tl;dr: desantis is a useless sack of shit who accomplished literally nothing in life. except pick a fight with disney LOL

    how’s that going, btw?

      Having been born there and live there until just a few years after Covid. The people moving there did a number on the state. Between the “Freedom” crowd, Michael Flynn (muliple rabbit holes on this topic), Moms for Liberty, “health freedom”, which is fucking up every hospital board, and honestly much, much more. That state will be deep read for a very long time.

      So glad I moved.

        Concur. I moved there in 1997… got out in 2024. The covid years brought the worst people of every other state.

        oh well. I guess the fascists need somewhere to retreat to. May as well be somewhere that’s going to be underwater in the near future.

      Tampa and Jacksonville are probably the two biggest red cities in the country ain’t they? At least historically

          Well they definitely ain’t the largest blue cities NYC, LA, and Chicago are all much larger and blue.

          “Jacksonville leans slightly Republican by roughly 8 points: about 46% of voters vote Democratic and 54% Republican.”

          At least according to best Best Neighborhoods, they did go for Angie Nixon though. Tampa is 53% from the same source.

          And according to ConservativeMove.com Jacksonville and it’s suburbs is one of the better spots if you want to move to a more conservative city in Florida https://conservativemove.com/liberal-cities-in-florida/

          Jacksonville is one of the country club meccas, and Tampa is where all the conservative old folks go retire. Both those usually indicate a conservative lean but it is much closer than I assumed

          Edit: I was also wrong they were the biggest in the country, that title goes to Phoenix, a city that should not exist and is a monument to man’s arrogance

        i don’t remember tampa being as red as the redneck shithole towns, plus they have USF. st pete is definitely dark blue, clearwater might be the reddest “city” in that area (scientology owns most of it). not as familiar with jacksonville, but it probably is more red than the rest

          pretty much. st pete has been building a lot of “investment” housing under the guise of being “affordable” housing to displace results by out of state and investors. not that I don’t like other people, but it’s what it is now. I mean I debated renting a place for $450 to do art at and that the last time I was there is now $6000+ and it’s everywhere around here. It’s like oh yeah the rent is now 5k-6k-8k++ a month … my first car cost $600 to drive down town.

          Fuck it. They can suffer with the rest of us

    No them cuddling up to Trump was an extinction level event, it just took a decade for the blow back to become loud enough.

      I wonder if any of the Republicans are remembering the words of donnie’s good buddy Lindsey Graham:

      If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it.

    Thatʻs illegal under Woke 3.0.

    You arenʻt permitted to use the word extinction unless you also acknowledge the reality of evolution

    Since they are all old enough to be considered dinosaurs it’s an appropriate term and it should have come way sooner.

    ¿What? They are still alive and whining.

    If they want to experience what an extinction level event feels like, I have quite some proposals, up to and including prime seats to the guillotine experience.
