Many people moving to Florida are registering as Republicans because lockdowns in blue states caused them to reevaluate being a Democrat, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Wednesday.
The lockdowns turned them into Republicans because they say ‘I cannot fathom,’ people say, ‘I was a Democrat because of education, and I’m in California and they’re locking my kids out of school. I come to Florida, they’re in school, people are free, people are happy.’ So I think this whole process has caused some people to reevaluate some of their prior commitments. And if you have a political party that puts the interests of teachers unions over the interests of kids being able to just access an education at all, that tells you all you need to know about the modern Democrat party.
In April, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd warned intending Florida residents not to “vote the stupid way you did up north” while standing beside the governor during a press conference, Breitbart News reported:
“We’re a special place, and there are millions and millions of people who like to come here. And quite frankly, we like to have them here. So we only want to share one thing as you move in hundreds a day: Welcome to Florida. But don’t register to vote and vote the stupid way you did up north, you’ll get what they got,” the sheriff added, prompting applause from the group of law enforcement officers, lawmakers and state officials gathered.

RUBIO VOTERS
Voter registrations ARE one metric used to predict future voting patterns
“DeSantis is full of it.
People right here will tell ya everyone moving into their states are leftist escaping CA. So this is impossible.”
Obviously, you have no data to support your post.
I would still regard the intentions of new arrivals in Florida with a little wariness. They may SAY they are tired of Democrat heavy-handedness, but like refugees from the old Soviet bloc, they still yearn for the comforting reliance on socialist policies. Maybe with a new start, they can make it go “correctly” this time.
But then, there is the example of the expatriate Cubans who fled from Castro, and they are more solidly conservative Republican than many native-born “Republicans in name only”, and have achieved a high level of success and advancement.
It all depends on how strong the inoculation was.
It’s scary how there are people who think being Blue is great.
Other than Miami Dade area and around big cities like Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and parts of Tampa vast majority of Florida is pretty red.
Here is a map that shows counties by red or blue. West coast and pan handle is much more red.
Are they planning to vote Republican in the general election or simply vote in the primaries and influence who the candidates are?
Yes... in Marion County... a town called Dunellon..population 2,057. It's a nice little place with antique shops and cafes, with rural areas all around... The region between Dunellon and Ocala is primarily horse country. Land can be had really cheap there.
‘’Right here’’ ?
Your profile page shows Arizona Flag - not Florida.
I’ve lived in Florida for 20+ years and I’ve yet to meet any transplant from California.
Don’t advertise it DeSantis! Xiden will ship more illegals to FL.
He’s already s^^^ on Texas.
YES!!!
This must be said over and over again.
PING!
Now that they’ve turned to ballot stuffing and count rigging it really doesn’t matter much, does it?
Thanks. !!
Understood
Where dat?
Thanks 😊
I'm sure there are plenty of areas that also fit that description up and down the main body of Florida once you move inland from the coastline.
So I was just giving them a starting point to work from. 8>)
Your map would be a useful tool for the person as well. 8>)
See post 26 for the red/blue map of Florida too, offered up by Freeper Jackson Brown. 8>)
