5. Florida's voters chose leaders who sought to make Florida a laboratory

for putting right-wing/MAGA ideas into practice. Now those voters as well as Florida’s non-voters and purists-on-snits election-boycotters are finding out that MAGA and Trumpie policies don’t work so well in practice.

Empty stomachs, homelessness, and chronic illness may not speak as eloquently as some of the Good Guys’ better speech-writers and posters, but they speak louder and more forcefully to those who’d chosen to let liars and charlatans do their thinking for them.

I want to say ”Live and learn, suckers!” But I live in Texas and our ruling party is about as bad and a plurality of our voters are just about that stupid. Also, I suspect that what MAGA Republicanism is doing and will continue to do Republican-voting Floridians will carry a lot of them off to early graves.
