5th generatiion Floridian here, FL would elect Matt governor in a heart beat. Now if he had sex with THEIR underage daughter it would become a totally different story. Anything goes until it happens to them, then it's outrage. Is there a worse state in which to live? AND what kind of woman stays with a man like this?

Agree from a fellow Floridian (my family also goes back generations.)

what i think i may get is this. gop voters are saying "you know anyone can do bad things, then reform, have a change of heart..." and that list of "bad things" is large, although undefined. but this is how the they justify it. "Well that was then but look now, he's praying like he should be doing...he's reformed. carry on then!"

but on the other hand if you say "Ok look I was just born this way, this is who I am. I can't change that!" ...

Well that's democrat territory. this of course means that person can't be redeemed and are intrinsically evil.

And don’t forget that so-called Christians have a free get-out-of-jail card: Simply state that Jesus has forgiven you!

And don’t leave out the default defense: that was in the past. We are looking forward (to the next outrage, which we’ll dismiss as “in the past”)

I don't think if it happened to 'their daughter' it would matter either.

Not being in the group about which you are asking, perhaps a tradwife who believes in the "Until death do us part" bit. So if MG "suddenly and unexpectedly" winds up on a slab....

Oh in FL as of 1/1/25 Desantis says no more porn unless you show your ID. I bet $100 his wifey decided this one, she wears the pants after all.

Well, Alabama sent Tuberville to the Senate, so.

And Texans reelected Ken Paxton as AG in spite of three felony indictments and blatant corruption followed by an impeachment! I think Texas gives Florida a run for the money as “worst state.“

I live in Texas (Tarrant County). Ken Paxton is a sadist. He lives for the pain, either financial, emotional or physical, he can inflict on people, especially women. I put him in the same category as Saddam Hussain. Evil doesn't adequately describe Paxton. Sadist, however, fits him perfectly.

Tuberville is simply stupid and ignorant. Gaetz, on the other hand, is a sexual deviant and pervert. Big difference.

Fair point.

You don't think that FL has enough voters who are stupid and ignorant enough to vote for a sexual deviant (Man, I wish I could do that) or a pervert (often wondered about that neighbor's daughter myself....)?
