If you think this is true, I want you to show me proof. I need to make sure this is true. If it's true, then I'll have to eat my words (and probably puke in the process). Obviously I wouldn't want stuff like that taught ANYWHERE.

Still, this is my point. I have an extreme personal disdain for Ron DeSantis. I also expect the worst from some people. Basically, alot of what I say comes from a place of distrust.

I wanted you to think for yourself. I wanted YOU to actually sit and think about it. There is one major demographic in Florida not supporting DeSantis. Think about that, and why this is so.

there's nothing to think about....your question did not even make sense

"Among which Floridians?"....the ones that drive Volvos

sorry, black is not on the front of my mind

It’s because black people are programmed to support Democrats and hate Republicans. It’s true in Florida just like anywhere else.

And you just illustrated my own theory concerning how I think Black voters are viewed. The "if you don't like it you can leave" mentality.

I would expect that from someone who is decidedly partisan. I say you are dead wrong. No, Black people are not programmed to do that. That would involved lacking any kind of consent or agency. 90% of the Black vote going to Democrats is a conscious choice, not some programming.

By the way, what makes you such an expert? What makes you think you know Black people better than Black people know themselves?

They turned out more for Crist than for DeSantis. Black Americans are literally the #1 demographic in Florida bucking the political trend in Florida. As the rest of Florida goes to the right-wing, Black Americans aren't going there at all.

Who cares? They’re outnumbered and Republicans don’t need them to win.

If Republicans don't need Black people, then maybe the "none of my business" attitude towards the Black vote should prevail.

If Republicans don't need Black people, ehy do so many people on city-data rave and complain about Black people voting Democrat so much?
