3. I don't understand what's going on in Florida these days.

I'm struggling with what to say about it. I know there are DUers who live there, and I don't want to sound like I'm attacking everyone in the state. "Not all Floridians" and all that. But I don't understand why there haven't been HUGE protests by now, at least in the blue areas.

I feel like I've been sitting here for months now, watching a crazed governor turn his state into a surreal dystopian hellscape, and I don't understand why there is (seemingly) so little resistance. Are most of the people down there actually okay with what DeSatan is doing? Or are they too scared to stand up to him? Or what?

I. Don't. Get. It.
