I ❤️ my Governor.

Wish Florida could become its own country and DeSantis its President!

We can’t all move to FL 😭 I am hoping FL is the example showing what the whole country is going to look like in 2025! I’m glad DeSantis is back 😄

Maybe the conservative southern states can secede?

We tried that once and it didn’t end well.

It was at one time! Well, a tiny part for just a couple months.

"The Republic of West Florida, officially the State of Florida, was a short-lived republic for 2+1⁄2 months in 1810."

I learn all kinds of things from this substack! Now I know that the Republic of West Florida wasn't in the place we call "Florida."

This is the way, actually. Soft secession. The only hitch is Desantis needs more time and he's done in 2026. Florida needs to make him emporer of the Republic of Florida.

Where would we put the capital?

Orlando is too libby. I was gonna say Gainesville but it's even more so.

I’m sure Representative Johnson would sound the alarm if too many people moved to Florida. After all, with the weight of so many people, it could snap off and tumble into the ocean.

Flashback: Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) was afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam would "tip over and capsize" due to overpopulation. (Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee.)
