I think you're on to something about tough climate repelling many of the whining neo-left, but take away air conditioning and Florida and much of the Sunbelt becomes mighty uncomfortable for the soft.
Quite true. I have to tell you though, I think many are going to suffer through it this year. My b-i-l has an air conditioning company here in S.FL. Business has been dead for a year. People are buying window units for their bedrooms and not repairing their central air. I imagine that trend will continue. Most natives only use their air if it gets over 90. They walk around in long sleeves and pants when its over 80. You can always tell a non native by their clothing here :), and a tourist because they will go in the pool or ocean from Oct- May. Natives don’t, its too cold! LOL.
