The entire right wing of the country absolutely went off the deep end when a black man was elected president. Make no doubt about it, the Republican party was always awful and on the way to getting worse, but Obama’s election was the the catalyst that drove mainstream conservatives into conspiracy theories and ultranationalistic race identity politics.

Or it really was the Mayan calendar ending. Or not enough dicks out for Harambe.

I’m gonna be depressed for the next 4 years.

I would like to personally give this congressman the biggest and swiftest kick to the nuts that I can muster. What an inhuman monster.

Or recipe reviews.

“I didn’t have flour, so I substituted lard. I also didn’t have sugar, so I substituted salted cod. Worst cake ever. 1 star.”

Extremely relatable response and sounds pretty close to my situation as well.

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but I get the same sort of feeling when I am told I should just pick up and move out of Florida when I’ve lived here my whole life. I don’t like the bullshit policies these clowns like DeSantis put in place, but running away doesn’t help things either. Better to try to work to make people see how shitty the politicians are making life for everyone here than running to greener pastures.

At least until the climate forces me out, which may come sooner than I want.

Only hearing about the crazy shit is the same reason Florida seems so crazy. “Sunshine Laws” in Florida mean arrest records are public information in Florida. A cottage industry has sprung up around scouring arrest records for ludicrous arrests or weird things that happened around them. It’s not that Florida is any more crazy than the rest of the country. We just hang our dirty laundry in the front lawn for everyone to see. Don’t believe that crazy ass shit isn’t happening in your neck of the woods, too.

That said, Florida is kind of crazy, though. At least some of it is imported crazy from other areas, though.
