Florida is becoming a statewide social experiment to test how far they can turn back the clock.

A lot of the residents that are for all of this will be in for a shock when it doesn't turn out like they want it to. Even if they get their way, reality will come for them, and it won't be good.

Picture Florida, on its current path, 20 years from now. Other than under the sea and gone, it's gonna be a different planet.

You do realize that this article is about the neighboring state, Georgia, right?

You're right it's an article about Georgia, but Florida seems to have beat Georgia to it and done this already. Unfortunately it's a trend across many Republican run states.

The inevitable brain drain and decrease in tourism alone will likely be enough to bankrupt the state and that's just scratching the surface of the myriad consequences of the current political insanity!

This is in Georgia thought. I don't see an immediate connection from the postet article to florida (except maybe the general right-wingyness).
