Could an election victory in the Sunshine State be driven by senior citizens in vehicles that aren’t exactly street legal?
That’s the case ebullient Democrats are making in the wake of a golf cart rally in The Villages, as the latest sign that a once reliably Republican sinecure is slipping from the GOP grasp and feeling, as Miles Davis might have put it, kind of blue.
“I appeal to everybody: democracy is not something we can agree to disagree on — it’s something we have to fight for,” U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost said. “This race is about more than just two names on a ballot, it’s about a vision for this country, and it’s about true freedom. Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot are committed to delivering that freedom to each and every Floridian.”
Democratic Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell also chimed in, saying seniors could help flip the state for Harris as well as aid Democrats in picking up a Senate seat.
“When I say don’t mess with my people, I’m talking about the families that have been devastated by two catastrophic storms after Rick Scott voted against FEMA funding, and he and Donald Trump have been spreading lies confusing those left behind,” Mucarsel-Powell said.
“I’m talking about seniors who have fought their entire lives for Social Security and the right to retire with dignity, who would be left with no income under Project 2025. I’m talking about the millions of women nationwide who now live under Trump’s extreme abortion bans. This is not the kind of leadership we want in our state, and we’re ready for a New Way Forward with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
Democratic congressional candidate Barbie Harden Hall, mounting an underdog challenge against Republican U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster, also hyped up the scene at The Villages.
“Today’s incredible turnout at The Villages, with over a thousand golf carts rolling in unity, exemplifies the grassroots strength and excitement behind the Harris-Walz ticket. We were joined by Republicans and Independent voters who chose a new way forward, voting for Democrats up and down the ballot,” Hall said. “Vice President Harris’s leadership and vision for America inspire a broad and diverse coalition ready to stand up for democracy and progress.”

Florida is a red state. Gun grabbing fascist Frost is clueless. Warlord funded Debbie is done.

So why do the Blue Democrats come to Florida? Are they fleeing Blue State taxation? Are the fleeing Blue State crime? Are they fleeing Blue State cost of living? They move to Red Florida but forget what party screwed up their state. By the way Debbie gonna get rolled. I’ve been saying that from the beginning.

I think most people come to the state for the weather, proximity to the shore and outdoor lifestyle. Hence why the state was purple for so long.

But nowadays paying taxes, or dodging them, is the mantra of many newcomers, especially retirees, who have already embraced MAGA lite up Nawth.

REGRESSIVE sales taxes are the primary source of revenue in Florida, which is why rich people embrace them rather than paying their own way with income and wealth taxes.

Did you ever think that, maybe, there are Democrats who’ve been living in Florida their whole lives, BEFORE the red invasion and subsequent gerrymandering?

DeSantis has shown that aggression works initially and, following the Orban model, gerrymandering and packing the courts is an effort to solidify Dee’s 1000-year MAGA rule.

The right of judicial review is based on a case that the Supreme Court decided in its earliest days. Overturning federal and state laws is nowhere given to the courts in the Constitution. The long-term GOP/MAGA court-packing scheme — placing young mostly white reactionary lawyers on the courts — began with Reagan. This has politicized the federal courts as never before and sets the stage for a major overhaul of the courts, especially initiating term limits.

Not all. That’s why the GOP has a million more registered voters than democrats. The number of people who fled NY would have given Zeldin the governorship of NY had they stayed.
