Gov. Ron DeSantis: ‘Overwhelming’ Number of People Moving to Florida Registering As Republican
Breitbart ^ | 27 May 2021 | AMY FURR

Posted on 05/27/2021 11:47:12 AM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

Brooksville is quite nice, and anywhere in the neighborhood of White Springs (up north within driving range of Gainesville).

A person could do a lot worse than the Ocala area.

I’ve lived in Florida for 20+ years and I’ve yet to meet any transplant from California.

I'm sure that's because no one from CA has ever moved to FL.

wowza~

More evidence that conservative states need to secede from the union. Take along any adjoining counties from neighboring states who want to come with.

Its inevitable! Let’s get started NOW! Why wait? Expecting things to improve?

This gives me HOPE. I’ve been nervous about the 1,000 people DAILY moving to Florida, fearing that they are bringing their lousy voting habits with them.

Ha! Well, the R’s failed to stop the DNC election theft in Georgia. They did stop them a few years earlier in Florida.

Also in Marion County is Belleview, where I currently reside. Where I am is ALMOST in the country, with mules braying in the distance and roosters crowing all the time. Occasionally horses with their riders will go by on the road next to my house. It’s pretty nice. It’s a nice little berg - and - we’re getting a huge new “state-of-the art” Publix in the next few months!

Draw a line from Daytona Beach over to the north side of Tampa Bay. You should be able to find something above that line.

Some of those maps are deceptive. For instance, my little north Florida county shows up as blue on some of them but we always vote red. There are many “legacy” Democrats here who are registered D but don’t vote that way.

Why would I need to read that again? Are your own words above not clear? Or is it bull chet?

We had one move into our neighborhood........first time we met him....while on a walk......he was singing the praises of Andrew Cuomo.......
....ugh

Caveat!.....I like New Yorkers, I like their brash and sharp dialogue
I enjoy talking to them

But
Our county is solidly red......has been for a long long time.
All I’m saying is.....Assimilate!

There are plenty!

Orlando, Miami.......get the big city noise and attention......
.....Jacksonville too somewhat.....

....but Florida is mostly rural.....
....even the coastal areas are calm and serene.....( excluding Daytona)
.....the Space Coast.....even with Kennedy Space Center and rockets blasting off more regularly now.....t is composed of aerospace tech companies and quiet bedroom communities
We live an hour south of Orlando and it’s another world
