Florida is doing fine. They can't help the Exodus into the state.

I was around the whole time. Just like everywhere, there were waves. There were times between variants when things would die down. But the peaks were huge. But a whole culture of machismo bullshit got in the way of anyone protecting themselves and others. Also, waited at an ER in Tallahassee for 7 hours while my girl needed an EKG. Saw a guy basically die of a heart attack in the lobby. Things were not OK here outside of your quiet gated community.

I'm sorry for your situation. However, we look through a different prism. He could've shut down the state. Would that have made things all that different? Considering all that happened across the entire nation, I'm not so sure.
 
Also, my entire friend group in Florida is made up of actual scientists, lesbians, single moms, and trans people. It's a great group of people, and they make my life better. How could I possibly support any politician who makes the lives of all of my friends worse off? Piss off with this DeathSentence shit.

You look at life through the prism of white privilege. You just refuse to accept that because it comes with an accountability you’re unable (or unwilling) to rise to. Now here’s the part where you say, “I know you are, but what am I?”……..

I look at life through the prism of treating people with dignity and respect. That said, I expect people to be honest, dependable, and responsible. I'm also all about charity and compassion. I think I can spot when people are playing the system. In those cases, I walk away. No time for games.

No, you definitely can't. You voted for Trump, twice.

I voted against Hillary and Biden. Lesser of the evils.

Lol, whoops! Got that wrong a couple times...

No, there were lesser evils than Trump and Hillary that you could have voted for. And Biden was DEFINITELY 100% the lesser evil by that time.
 
Funny, both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are people of genuine deep Christian faith. But so called Christians voted for a person who is the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins because he promised outlaw abortion and no rights for gays. Neither of which Jesus allegedly addressed.
 
I am glad to say there is pushback against the don't make white people uncomfortable laws. A new organization was founded by a group of mothers, led by one who has never been politically involved before, working with librarians and civil liberties groups to keep books about race, gender, sexuality, LGBTQ people, Nazi holocaust and enslavement in schools and libraries.

NYT’s Nikole Hannah-Jones blasts ‘racialized’ coverage of Ukraine war

The creator of the New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project is injecting race into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — claiming incessant media coverage of the war is tied to the skin color of the tyrannized Ukrainians.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, 45, retweeted a post Sunday claiming the “supremacy around the media coverage of [the war] isn’t even subtle” while sharing a clip of an Al Jazeera report citing the “prosperous middle class” in Ukraine who were desperately trying to board a train to escape the war-ravaged country.

“What if I told you Europe is not a continent by definition, but a geopolitical fiction to separate it from Asia and so the alarm about a European, or civilized, or First World nation being invaded is a dog whistle to tell us we should care because they are like us,” Hannah-Jones tweeted Sunday to her 671,000 followers.

Hannah-Jones, whose 1619 Project claims America and its institutions were founded on preserving slavery and white supremacy, then suggested the rampant media coverage of the war was directly linked to Ukrainians’ skin color....................
 
So instead of reading her writing you read an article from a right wing newspaper attacking her.
If my only knowledge of Christianity came from brief articles in militant atheist journals you could rightly call me ignorant.

I saw the article on my news feed. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
And that is a substitute for reading her books?
 
I've read reviews. Not interested.

No. It might challenge your ideas. I'm sure you only read reviews in periodicals you agree with. Most reviews were positive. Only those who don't want white people to be uncomfortable disagreed.
