We tried so hard, but there's straight up too many old retired republican voters. Old people from across the country retire here, we even have an entire "city" of nothing but old ass retired people. DeSantis made it so much worse too.

His term is up though, and we almost got a democrat elected to replace him. I was surprised at just how close we came, given the past decade. But we elected another republican, so it's not gonna be much better.

It's not just the old people either, there are a ton of huge rural areas with tump flags in every lawn on poles and fences, giant trucks plastered with stickers and flying flags. Lots of racist rednecks here.

I'm so happy to see the rest of the country flipping blue after seeing how badly everything went here. We also just shredded our tax system to bits, so everything's gonna suck even more now.

Interesting question, if we let climate take over, they may get swept away anyway
