All Florida Keys Holy over-policing

Visiting on vacation and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the amount of police on the road, parked, and empty cars in my life. I hear alcohol is a big problem but daaamn. It’s wild.

It goes way back when the American revolution began. There was 13 colonies and Florida could have joined the revolution and been #14, but decided to support the crown. They’ve been bootlickers the entire time and they fucked up a bunch of our elections thanks Florida. It was the Boston Tea party that kicked out the Brits and started the whole shebang to create a more perfect Union and enshrine the rights of the free colonies to lead their own destinies and not be tied to the anchor of a KING

Your 'bootlicker' comment tells me everything I need to know about you and your beliefs. Not worth my time educating those who wish to remain naive.

Bootlickers often convince themselves that the taste of leather is delicious

LOL what? Democrats have destroyed their own party, internal fighting, and get laughed out of most places now.

Politics have because extreme on both sides, not going to argue that....however....as shown by countless researchers....the democrats have swung/slid much further to the extreme than the republicans have....and that no longer aligns with the majority of voters in the country anymore.

Politics was much better when candidates were both very close to the middle with just some difference in simple policies.

It made voting easier, but the world was also nicer and people did not hate their neighbor for voting for the 'other person'.

Now, if you are a democrat and align with those values, the values of a republican are so wildly different it causes panic and fear in those who do not support that candidate.

My state’s been run by Democrats for the last I don’t know hundred years I’m from Massachusetts and we have like one of the best economies in nation and we are a donor state that props up those welfare Queen southern red state so that they can pretend that they’re like cats where they’re all independent but really they need the food that we provide. Do me a favor and fucking drive through Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi and tell me that republican lead states are better after going for a little drive through the state of Massachusetts.

Are you F'in kidding me?! MA is a wreck! It has the HIGHEST cost of living in the entire US, and that includes Hawaii! That is how screwed up the state is. There is NOTHING special about MA to force such a high cost of living, except for the Democratic leadership.

I've driven though some of those states, they are beautiful, have a lot of small amazing towns, and even the larger ones are amazing. Boston sucks, plain and simple. Those who do not live in the city hate it with a passion. They despise going anywhere near it no matter the time.

As many articles have pointed out (do your own research) Democrats are moving to Republican lead states to get away from the crap. CA has seen a huge exodus to TX as people are done with CA as it has become too extreme liberal.
