Marco Rubio got almost 58% of the vote in 2022. DeSantis got over 59%. Moody got over 60%. Patronis 59.5%. Simpson 59%. All statewide races. 59.36% of FL House race votes went to Republicans. 60.07% of FL Senate race votes went to Republicans. Across the board and with remarkable consistency, 60% of your neighbors have voted to gut your education system and teach your kids fantasies. Don't shoot the messenger.

This can be attributed to the fact that Democrats have completely abandoned the idea of campaigning in Florida and the fact that the Florida government is well-known to engage in voter suppression efforts.

Majority. A clear majority. And it's their actions that are fucking over your entire state, not mine.

Nearly half of Floridians don't even vote for various reasons including but not limited to voter suppression, so nah, it's a minority of residents. I'm also highly doubtful that colleges not accepting high school diplomas from an entire state would even be considered legal, so I think I'll be fine.

Aight, whatever then. You're obviously not worth speaking to, but luckily, you'll never be in a position to put your words into action, so I don't need to. I'm gonna carry on with my day.
