(2,019 posts)Honestly why should I? Why should I send money, or phone bank, or write letters?
And I possibly would be buying a home there in the next several years but at this point it is a giant hell fucking no! My wifes aging parents have a house there that we thought we would be moving into and retiring to at one point. Now
. Not a fucking chance.
I do feel bad for the people that do not support what is happening there that have to live there, but it isnt JUST gerrymandering. Every time I go there (twice a year) I get accosted multiple times. Constantly getting screamed at and the most disgusting treatment. And this is in Venice! Yeah bad shit can happen anywhere, but it is off the damned charts in florida. I have witnessed ignorance beyond any other place I have ever been. People actively rooting against the states largest employer. Insanity.
Honestly I hope things change there. I just dont see it happening until that state reaps exactly what the have asked for.
