The country is in its death throes and your post proves it.

And, where do you live? You can't assume that just because your area didn't have problems that 99% of the country is exactly the same.

Democrats hold all the levers of power in this country —our education system, the media, entertainment industry, social media, most of the lawyers and justice system, corporate America, the intelligence industry, the military, the sports industry, and possibly soon the Supreme Court.
They are untouchable. They know it and can get away with the depth of anarchy and corruption not seen in my generation.....

Only because Trump pissed away like a fool all the power the right had. Pick someone better (maybe even DeSantis), and the R party can easily come back.

History has shown one party rarely holds all the political branches for more than 2 years, and that patten will probably hold this time.

It’s interesting how Dems blame most everything on because Trump, no matter what it is, lol.

With the Governor there cheering him on I assume it applies to the entire state. Since I can think of no reason to go there I will simply avoid it.

If youre a cop of any sort you should not be saying stuff like this while in uniform.
True but sheriffs in Florida and other southern states have a rather rich history, none of it good.

What do you mean by "how WOULD you feel as a conservative..." It's already happening in this country against conservatives. The country's chief law enforcement agency has decided one of its main duties is to actually apply IN PRACTICE a two tiered system of justice and one set of rules for conservatives or anyone they feel even dares not tow the DNC and their agency's party line and another set of rules for the DNC and anyone that opposes conservatives. That's how a once revered law enforcement agency can send 13 agents and call an extremely common garage door pull down rope hanging on a garage door at a NASCAR facility an act of "domestic terrorism" while at the same time refusing to call the attempted assassination of Republican lawmakers on a baseball field domestic terrorism minimizing that incident to an act of "suicide by cop". To in any way suggest or insinuate that Democrats moving to Florida are in danger of political retribution from a local sheriff in the same way conservatives already likely are from the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world is laughable.

I didn't even think of the politics of the places I have moved to in the USA. Good schools, nice communities, who cares if most people vote red or blue.

I voted Democrat. My best friends -- 4 of them -- here in my southeastern home voted Republican. We know it...we acknowledge it and we survive. They live in a red state but in a very blue community.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't take away from our day to day living.

You are naive to think that people will change their mind because of this guy.

And reality -- most people will never hear about him....lol.
He was addressing people with at least some remnants of intelligence. People sometimes make a mistake - like voting for dems, but those with IQ > 0 can draw the logical conclusion "voted for dems -> their place became a cesspool".

Those who keep voting for dems after that are hopeless, since their IQ = 0, so yes, those non-sapient species would not pay attention to his words.

And sometimes they are right. He did mess up big time and he is the main reason why Biden was elected.
