So should my wife and I look into bullet proof vests for our upcoming vacation to Florida?

You should be fine. I was in Florida recently and had no issues.
Just don't be gay and try to be white, you should be good.

Seriously I just avoided all that I knew was the batshit crazy and was ok. I feel for the people who live there full time vs someone passing through.

Seymour was your principal too?!?!?!

Under the bleachers is a classic.

Ummm so these conspiracy theorists are against people taking medications to live now?!?! The vaccine was one thing, but this is just insane. I feel for the folks (IE..type 1 diabetics) who will fall for this.

You could make the argument that the pharmaceutical industry is more focused on treatment versus cure, in much the same way that auto manufacturers make a large portion of their money in their service departments.

However, some things will never, ever be cured. These nuts are simply dangerous.

What is sad if the bolded part was the point of the tweet most would agree. Sadly cooks like catturd just want to live in their moms' basement with their tinfoil hat on, grifting off this crap.

I mean if they truly embraced progressive ways any one of them could identify as a woman. Voilà their issues are resolved.

How long ago was that, though? Florida is actively aiming to hurt people now especially people as "woke" as my kid is. And it's getting exponentially worse seemingly by the week.

Things like this go beyond "Florida idiocy"

DeSantis targets trans health care in Florida universities

The request asks for a breakdown of how many people were prescribed puberty blockers, hormones or hormone antagonists, or underwent a medical procedure.

She graduated HS, went there for Americorp. Did College for 6 years and got her Master's. She's been in the working world in Florida still for the last 4 years. A total of 11 years

If you don't mind me asking how is she feeling about the way things are going there? My sister in law has been north of Tampa for 8 years and says it feels completely different the last 2 years, like more tense. However, she likely agrees with some of DeSantis' ideas. I also have a cousin who has been in Key West since 1992 and he and his wife say even crazy old Key West feels different. And LGBTQ people they know say even there they feel unsafe. Their daughter works for Disney and is trying to get moved to Cali, and they are looking to move somewhere else. However they are both flaming liberals such that make me look like a member of the Cheney family. So that could be playing into their perception.

And I think that a college like FSU would be less a target for DeSantis and his quest against gays and trans people than the small art school my kid wants to go to. Art schools tend to attract a... different type of student. She currently has bright purple hair, a Trans best friend and a BLM Hoodie she wears most days. Like I said, "woke". She actually got into an argument in AP Gov class when they were discussing DeSantis' definition of "woke" as a belief in systemic injustice and a desire to change it. Her thought was basically something is wrong with you if you want to stop people from fighting for justice. A classmate disagreed.

Hey a priest I agree with. With that said, it probably is just a costume.
