Agreed! I don't understand it. A person I know is openly talking about moving there next year. Mixed race marriage. I asked her about it and never got a satisfactory answer as to how one can consider a permanent move to what is appearing to be a increasingly fascist state. I plan to stay the hell away and pray for the people of good conscience who live there.

I know Adam. I don't understand it either. I have friends that moved there last year and they insist that it is not that bad but, what does that mean. Not that bad? Why would you choose “not that bad” when you can live “free.”
Consider the fact that the most powerful voting bloc in FL is the retirees, not the parents or other people who have been mostly marginalized. Those retirees want low taxes, sunshine and perhaps Donald Trump. This is why DeSantis is thinking he will beat Trump at his own game.
I was lived in Orlando for 8 years and just visited St. Pete to see friends, one of whom is an elementary school teacher. She told me that things are OK in her district, but she had heard stories about Manatee. Now this. Here on Substack, Twitter, the things that we read are the egregious cases. It’s highly probable that there is quite a bit of variance across the state. Much may rest on whether a particular district has a zealot like Baggett. Or Moms4Liberty going to school board meetings and riling people up. Squeaky wheels are making a lot of noise. Red, Wine, & Blue are suburban moms who are fighting back, against book bans and to support all kinds of kids.

I guess one can say that they ARE "living free" if one were being sarcastic. I just don't know how far it goes. Or will go.
