“Let me be clear – any attempts to spread the oppression and poverty that Socialism always brings will be rebuffed by the people of Florida,” he added. “Travelers should be aware that attempts to spread Socialism in north Florida will fail and be met with laughter and mockery.”
"However, in much of Central and South Florida, the situation is far more dangerous for Socialists, as they may encounter people from Cuba, Venezuela, and other parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean who have direct knowledge of, and experience with, the horrors of Socialism.
Yeah. Millions of them. They're poor and have been systematically excluded from political and economic power. There are 21 million people in Florida. About 11 million of them voted, and 48% of those who voted voted for Biden. The Fascists have control over the instruments of government, but that hold is not necessarily represented in the population. This stupid fucking "Democracy" means that with a little voter suppression they can have "legitimate" power without having any kind of real majority. Most of the fascist states are like that - Fairly narrow majorities among the voting population, and who knows what the non-voting population thinks. But for the most part they're all poor and systematically shut out from power. They're disorganized, they're demoralized, they're working two or three jobs to maybe make rent.
