Florida is a sprawling, diverse swing state with multiple voting blocs and ethnicities, which is part of what makes it so unpredictable in politics.
With the presidential race in full swing here, two constituencies in particular help show just how different Florida voters can be: The Cubans, a vocal voting bloc of immigrant exiles and the Florida crackers, families who have lived here for generations. Both lean Republican, but each community represents two very different types of Florida voters.

They left out most of the fly over implants.
Its a far second but Floriduh is second only to Minnesoduh
in flat stupidity. .............................. LOL, you will never convince all the resettled NY’ers on the east coast of that. They know it all.
My family is from Gainesville - very conservative....uncle was mayor for many years.......both Dad & uncle UF grads......
The UF libs have taken over - but the old-time families are still there and still conservative....they are not Gainesville natives, but imports.........
Born in Miami Beach in WWII, parents told me I was a Florida Cracker from the time I learned to talk........a Virginian now - but still a Florida Cracker.........
“You are mis-informed.”
Yea I know I looked it up. Makes a lot of sense. Blacks
calling whites Floriduh Cowmen.
“You, you Crackaa” ie. Floriduh Cowman.
Yea, lots of sense.
The term Floridduh Cracker and Cracker are different:
Cracker: Cracker, sometimes white cracker or cracka, is a usually disparaging term for white people,[1] especially poor rural whites in the Southern United States. In reference to a native of Florida or Georgia, however, it is sometimes used in a neutral or positive context or self-descriptively with pride (see Florida cracker and Georgia cracker).[2]
So in Floriduh and Georgia(#5) being a “Cracker” is good.
And that’s what makes Florida(#2) Floriduh.
But hay, I was wrong and you straightened me out.
I’m not a cracker,...just a well-to-do redneck.
that is what many around here say LOL.
Florida Jews are crackers?
Oy vey
Hold the mayo!
Cuban, Ricans and Crackers oh my (Jews). :)
At least they didn’t use the “n” word.
