Most of this is red flight, Republicans giving up on the place.
Good to know NY Demonicrats ain’t moving to Florida.
“Most of this is red flight, Republicans giving up on the place.”

Hey democrat NYers, good luck with rising taxes, crime and a much deserved lower standard of living.
I think you’re right, Trump barely won Florida in 2016 but dominated Biden in 2020, I think he won by about 400,000 votes which is a landslide in Florida.
In the upcoming midterms, if DeSantis crushes Charlie Crist by something like 6-8% and Rubio who in a tougher race wins as well, it will show the majority of the people moving to Florida are reasonably conservative and are fleeing the Liberals Hells they came from.
I think for the first time in history, registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats in Florida.
If this holds up, Red States will get more Red and the Blue States will become even bigger hell holes because those staying are hardcore liberals.
I hope it is a Red Flight! But, I can see why a Dem would leave the paradise they created in nyc to fix FLA.
I’d like to see a source for the proposition that most of the emigrants are republican. I’m sure that is what Colorado thought as well until the influx of Californians turned that state deep blue.
Yup. And in part as a result, Florida is now a Republican state in terms of registration. In previous years, although Florida had more registered Democrats statewide, the Florida GOP won control of state government through better policies and superior political organization at the state level. Now, with GOP registration and grass roots activism on the rise, there is an opportunity to win control of more local governments.
Yes, Kathy pretty much told them to leave.
A friend of mine in Tarpon Springs says all of the new arrivals he has met there the past couple of months are conservatives.
