Florida has become a “refuge of sanity in a world gone mad.”
That was the assessment of Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., in remarks Saturday evening at the third National Conservatism Conference in Miami.
DeSantis’ speech focused on the core theme of how Florida has become a bastion of liberty—a refuge for those seeking better governance and a freer life. He said that his state, in many ways, has gone in the opposite direction compared with many other states and the federal government.
“It is said that our federalist system creates ‘laboratories of democracy’ where different states can approach things in different ways,” DeSantis said. “But I don’t think we’ve ever seen such sharp contrast between different governing philosophies as we have in the last few years.”
He said that what we have seen is that there’s been a “great exodus” from states and localities governed by “leftist” politicians.
Refugees from those places have fled to Florida, which DeSantis said has become a “promised land” for record numbers of people.
The Florida governor laid out several statistics about how Americans—since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic—have flocked to Florida, not only to visit, but to live.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, he said, “there’s been more adjusted income moved into the state of Florida than has ever moved into any one state in a similar time period” in American history. DeSantis pointed to the contrast with states “hemorrhaging” wealth and people, such as California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey.
That hasn’t meant that the Sunshine State has become bluer politically as people arrived there from other places. Instead, DeSantis said, it created a political sea change, where Republican voting registration is now higher than Democratic registration.
That occurred, he said, because Florida followed a specific “blueprint.”

Florida,a governing success story.
“refuge of sanity in a world gone mad.”
In a party gone mad. Actually 2 parties. One party is hellbent on destroying the country and the other party does absolutely nothing about it.
we need to go state by state and replicate this until the American commies are driven from power EVERYWHERE!
2024-if it’s Newsom on the left it’s gotta be DeSantis for us. Trump will be the sitting House Speaker.
“the other party does absolutely nothing about it”
The password is.....COMPLICIT
Very simple to explain why. The republican elites are NOT suffering.
BTTT!!!!
Joe Biden marked the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States by taking a swipe at his political opponents.
He spoke in front of the Pentagon where he said Americans “owe it” to the victims of 9/11 to defend democracy weeks after he labeled “MAGA Republicans” a threat to democracy.
Using the anniversary of 9/11 to swipe at political opponents is loathsome enough, but to do it weeks after you labeled fellow Americans a threat to democracy makes it worse.
Joe Biden loves to say: “MAGA Proposals Are a Threat to the Very Soul of This Country”
Biden walks it back to Fox’s Peter Doocy.
“I do think anyone who refuses to acknowledge an election when it’s been won.......
I think that is a threat to democracy.”
So what Jojo means is the Democratic reaction to Trump’s win in 2016
<><> when Dems tried to suborn electors to save Hillary who won the popular vote,
<><> when Dems boycotted Trumps inaugural,
<><> when Democrats refused to accept he won,
<><> when leftists rioted in the streets on Jan. 20, 2017
Biden didn’t condemn any of that..... then or now....indeed, he encouraged the perception that Trump was not a legitimate president.

Measuring success in a blue state is based on how many federal dollars you can ring out of taxpayers. They are extremely successful with n taking money off red state tables.
So, they are probably laughing at this definition of success. I hear them often talking about how successful socialism is as they us the armed forces as their example. Echo chambers are not helpful.
Actually to be honest, red states are the takers of the federal money. Blue states give much more then they are given back:

Poor New Jersey gets screwed big time. They are ranked last.
That’s the one problem: red states are dependents. Even out the spigot so that reds get money more in line with what the send to DC. Or better yet, simply leave most revenue and spending matters to the states themselves.
