Ahh so in that case she’s trying to evoke Portland as “scary loot and riot zone”.
Innnteresting I assumed the same.
Guess it’s a case of “This is the future liberals want!” “… Yes, yes it is.”
… Definitely don’t wanna be like Florida
I will take riots for racial justice over riots childish tantrums against covering your breathing holes any day
Nope, no more riots in Florida. We passed a law this year making it legal to run over protesters with your car if they are blocking traffic. Also anyone in the vincity of a “riot” (protest by democrats/brown/black people) can be charged with a felony which of course means you lose your right to vote. No, this wasn’t thought up as a devious way to restrict voting, why on earth would you think that?
Fixed my post, thanks for the reminder about “riots”
As a person who spent about a decade in Florida, I think it should be required to live at least two years in Florida.
Like how some countries have mandated military service… ya know?
People need to know that Florida is Fcking WILD it’s no joke. It’s beautiful and terrifying. I think it gives a little perspective, truly.
Also I have heat exhaustion so excuse my inability to be concise. < lolz global warming
Working in retail/customer service/food and beverage service should be mandatory too.
Guys this is a truly great rap about antivaxxers
I lived in FL for three months. It was Enough. Please don’t make me go back.

2021: My brother is a fully vaxxed Scorpio who only lies and my roommate is an unvaccinated INTJ who only tells the truth; how do we attend a 124-person outdoor wedding across a river with a fox, a chicken, and a sack of grain, and only one mask?
I lived there for about half of my childhood in the 70s and 80s. Like Ohio, it is wildly different there since the advent of Fox News.
I like Florida! It’s like a living fever dream where anything can happen. Literal dinosaurs walk into the road and no one even stops. There’s beaches and seafood and great music but also rednecks and monster truck rallies and hell swamps? Disneyworld and strip clubs and authentic Latin cuisine and fast food. Driving is like everyone either just started driving the day before, just arrived in the country and are unclear on rules, or are swerving bc it’s hard to roll a joint and drive at the same time. Florida has the hottest and ugliest of literally everything: people, vibes, landscape.
We are all Florida. That’s why it makes us feel so self conscious.
At first I went “Ha” then I saw it’s posted by hamilhimself and now I can’t stop giggling.
He is a social media genius.
