I love living in Florida and it also weighs heavy on me. This week I'm sharing about what's happening here, but also finding my silver lining, our real estate mistake, and spring break activities.
Sorry about the grief you got about living in Florida, which is just idiotic. Even if DeSantis is governor that still means millions of people live there who didn't vote for him. Many of whom don't have the ability to up and leave anyway. And if everyone cool leaves for a more blue place instead of staying and trying to change things, that only makes it harder to ever change Florida.
We get similar comments when we live in countries like Turkey, Hungary, or our current destination of Malaysia.
"How can you go there and give your money to a homophobic government?" "So you're okay with homophobia and discrimination."

Oy. The world's a LOT more complicated than that.
Anyway, enjoy your spring break!
You hit it on the head. The world really IS a lot more complicated and leaving won't help anyone.
