The same Florida that voted for Trump multiple times?

Have fun with the leopards. Morons.

    Yep. My aunt and her kids (DAUGHTERS!) voted for trump in 2016 and I know some of them did in 2024. And they're just so aghast at how things have turned out.

    These silly fucks have damned the world (usaid), immigrants, transfolk, and millions of their fellow citizens with their inability to see past their own lies and bullshit. I wish the harms were limited to this crowd, and the pearl clutching "oh both sides are just as bad" fucks that thought gaza would be better with 4 more years of fascism.

    Let me check the voting results in Florida.

    • Trump got about 56% of the popular vote.
    • 20 of 28 districts came up Trump.
    • About a third of eligible voters (and close to 40% of registered voters) didn't bother to vote.

    Yeah. Fuck all y'all motherfuckers. Suffer. Ideally in silence. Your whining is more annoying than a two year old's.

    This is NOT TRUE! Florida LOVES what's Happening which is why they KEEP voting for the Republicans CAUSING this to Happen!

    Yeaaaaah, listen buddy, I've got some news about which areas in Florida are being targeted, and it's largely not the Trumpy ones. You know it's the third most populous state, right? Bigger than most countries? But sure, pop off with your dumb bullshit.

    Typical fucking Yank: thinking size matters.

    England: 56M people
    Florida: 23M people.

    That state is half the population of your entire country. So, it’s relevant.

    My entire country?

    D'aw! Isn't it adorable!? The Yank is making assumptions. Brave thing from someone who's been through the American education system!

    Wow… you’re super angry. That sucks for you. But if it helps, I can tell ya, yelling at people online isn’t going to help it even a little. In fact- I’ll bet you will agree that it only makes it worse.

    I hope you can get that looked at in whatever country you live in.

    Best of luck!

    I don't think the typical retiree or snowbird down there gives one single fuck about this.

    I imagine it's far different for the people who actually grew up there though.

    My heart aches for all of the people deported, killed, and terrorized by ICE.

    For anyone confused about this comments section seeming uncharitable towards Floridians, please imagine an article about how the war in Gaza is tearing Israeli communities apart or one from 1994 about how difficult it is for Serbian families to deal with disappearances.

    Americans are currently experiencing negative side effects, but they’re by no means the primary victims. We can mourn Alex Pretti and Renee Good, like we mourn Sophie Scholl and Fritz Dressel, but it’s pretty offensive to suggest that Germans as a whole between 1933-1945 were victims.

    "Americans are currently experiencing negative side effects". Oh, no! Really? Has your house been obliterated by bombing? Do you still have water, electricity, a roof over your head? Do YOU, idiomaddict, know how you're going to feed your children tonight??

    Do you want to read my comment again? Or maybe extend that quote just a little to not act in bad faith?

    “[they’re] experiencing negative side effects, but they’re by no means the primary victims.” Then I compared the US to Nazi Germany and said calling them victims was offensive.

    Fascism eventually turns inward and hurts the people who brought it into power. By that point it has been oppressive to everyone around them, as well as those who have resisted, for a long time.

    OldCrow, I am personally terrified for my family who are all a demographic targeted by ICE, but I don’t live in the US. Should I ask about your children now or can we stay on topic?

    They should be happy about that. It's what they voted for.

    More virtuosic incompetence from MAGA.

    Republicans have always fucked up the Hispanic vote in this country. They think all Hispanics are the same, and since they've always owned the Cubans, since the Cubans have always hated the Dems because JFK abandoned them at the Bay of Pigs (my Dad was part of the chopper team, waiting on the tarmac to fly into battle, when the call came in that it was called off), so they thought ALL Hispanics supported them. It never occurred to them that Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Colombians, etc. are not just different from Americans, they are different from each other. They don't consider themselves the same, any more than white people assume they are the same as Canadians or Europeans. We may have the same color skin, and even language, but that doesn't mean we have the same beliefs.

    Despite that, MAGA finally got them ALL on their side for a minute, then proceeded to abuse them like it was the 19th century. They had the chance to lock down the fast growing political block in America, but they just couldn't resist indulging their petty bigotry, and have likely lost them forever. Even their Cuban support will permanently weaken after this.

    An amazing opportunity for the Right, and they could not have squandered it worse.
