(7,700 posts)South Florida that is - and there's not that many non-progressives in my town.
Now, over on the Island we have a good number of GOP, true. Rush and sometimes resident Trump come to mind, but even there in Palm Beach are many wealthy liberal Dems who support the cause generously w $$.
Go inland and you will still find plenty of brainwashed poor folk voting against their interests (cept Orlando and Tampa area plus Gainesville) and Ocala is a magnet for well-off northerners who have moved there from all over. The nearby Villages is a hotbed of Tea Party types (remember Romney and the national anthem?).
But overall the state went for Obama and once again, if not for gerrymandering, we'd have a lot more Dems in the state legislature and in Congress. I really, really have my concerns over the election of Scott and while I'm not into CT's, something funny about that whole stinking election.
