With dems having made gerrymanding harder in blue states, this just means a permanent republican bias in the house (even more biased than before).

Reminder that we've been here before, but worse. This too shall pass, be diligent.

If only a little gerrymandering were the only thing "here" consisted of.

What a joke. Ok guys enough. The lunatics are running the asylum. Time to take away the keys

It's crazy to think Florida used to be a swing state.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 19 points 16 hours ago

The number of republicans that have moved here is huge. All my trans friends and most of my queer friends have left the state.

It also doesn't help that the Florida Democratic party is even more of a dumpster fire than the national party. They even ran our former Republican governor as our Democrat cannidate for governor.

Fox News is a gateway drug.

Fox News is a plague on our society

Lies are apparently the gateway to cruelty.

No question

Propaganda is effective. Especially when there is no counter to its spread for decades.

The boomer snow birds have taken over. Why won't they just die already?

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Gen-X snowbirds are right behind them. Florida is the go to retirement location for fixed income “taxes are too damn high” crowd who are losing their internal heat generating abilities. The same wing of the Millennials will gravitate down there, too. And so on.
