Since Zohran Mamdani won last week’s Democratic primary and put himself in pole position to become New York City’s next mayor, a fresh cohort of Gothamites seems to be eyeing the exit ramp toward the Sunshine State.
This Floridian says: Sorry, we’re full.
For more than five years now, Florida has been the top destination for fleeing northerners, émigrés seeking something more than milder weather and lower taxes.
These new Floridians arrived to join a freedom movement led by Gov. Ron DeSantis, escaping the insane blue-state policies that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to a head.
The newcomers — myself included — made the state redder than it had ever been before.
In the 2024 election, President Donald Trump romped in the formerly deep-blue Miami Dade County and turned Palm Beach County purple, losing it by just a single percentage point.
Pundits pointed to the increasingly Republican Hispanic vote, and that was a factor. But the energized newbies made the shift a GOP tsunami.
To this day many Floridians habitually send real-estate listings to their ideologically aligned friends up north — those who longed to join the “Great Migration” but whose work or family obligations made them stay put.
When those friends complained about their deteriorating schools, the congestion tax or rising crime, we’d send back an alligator gif, a Florida flag emoji or a video of tough-talking DeSantis describing the fate of protesters who dare to block Florida traffic.
Come join us, we’d say.
Now a different group is looking in our direction — and we’re not feeling so encouraging.
These people didn’t think the COVID restrictions that kept NYC children in masks outdoors through 2022 were too much.
They were fine with cashless bail and New York’s sanctuary city status.
Boys in girls’ sports? Who cares! They vote blue

Thank you very much and God bless you.
NY libs, please stay home.
Democrats are a disease.
One cat 3 Hurricane, and they will flee north.
Not just NY libs either.....you should see the yankee state license plates in my town alone.....and they drive like proper A-holes.
Yes I guess an extremist like this Indian/Ugandan/Commie/? Is going to cause a lot of self-described liberal “moderates” to flee to Florida.
Where in their delusion that they are decent good intelligent people (IE brainwashed Millennials and old retired boomer hippies) they will immediately start voting democratic.
I’m also guessing a good number of true NYC conservatives have already fled.
NY Libs and other assorted nitwits and losers...stay in place. Your nirvana has almost arrived. Please take advantage of it. By moving away you will miss the wonderful life it brings. STAY IN PLACE!!!
And of course you have the registration numbers to prove this theory right?
Our roads are certainly overloaded.
We got too many mosquitos. You can get attacked in January.
We have some really tough to deal with weeds.
It’s no longer cheap to live in Florida. Insurance can easily be more expensive than state income tax, especially if you are of retirement age.
Flee wherever you want. Just don’t bring your corrupt, toxic, Communist, Woke voting patterns with you.
“Leftist trash ruin everything.”
There are Democrats that aren’t trash personally but still reliably vote for vote-buying thieves.
Florida has long been home to the dregs of the USA.
While the northerner relocation has largely displaced them from my neighborhood, I’m pretty sure we still have millions in the state.
Giuliani getting in did not make me want to go back. L liked him but I knew Giuliani was just a speed bump on the road to (more) Hell.
Splendid! Just keep it up, and the welcome mat will stay in place.
BUT NO WOKIES!
“ Democrats are a disease.”
More like a virus. Or a parasite.
I don’t want NY politics in my state (Florida) either. But the devil on my other shoulder keeps whispering in my ear...”the more they come, the more my paid off property goes up in value”.
If you are a liberal and flee New York, don’t come to Tennessee and try to
destroy our State.

They would vote for HITLER rather thzn a REPUBLICAN,
