Critics say DeSantis should have focused on making insurance affordable for Floridians rather than getting involved in the "culture wars."

Sure millions of people will lose everything they own during the next big storm, but at least the ‘gays’ were put in their place, eh Florida?

At least they won't be "woke".

New GOP slogan. “I’m broke, not woke!”

Don't get too cocky. The same thing is happening in California, if I recall correctly.

At least California isn't waging a culture war attempting to erase whole swaths of the populace.

The federal government should step in and offer to insure people with the condition that they can’t rebuild anywhere that can’t get private insurance. Eventually we’re going to have to deal with the fact that large sections of today’s coast is going to be unsafe in the near future and those people need some way to afford to move when the homes and land they move from will be worthless. Like all of Florida.

This is probably the most humane answer. But it would certainly be cathartic to see a bunch of dipshit millionaires and climate change deniers lose everything.
