The state has become flooded with the worst that the Northern blue states are losing.
On the Treasure Coast, St. Lucie county - once a reliably Blue county sandwiched in between Red Indian River and Martin counties - went red in 2020. Rep Brain Mast, who has become a reliable rubber stamp for the Racist Party was reelected and longtime Blue District 84 elected a former swimming pool/cum ad salesperson/trumpian to the seat long admirably held by Larry Lee and Delores Hogan Johnson - helped out in a large measure by her Busch distributorship CFO husband.
We're not getting their best, folks - we're getting the idiots, the duped, the gullible, the racists.
Even the solid blue heavily populated counties to the south are being infected with the stupid.
It was once fairly predictable that the states' inherent base of confederates, anti-regulation industrialists, and developers would not be enough to swing the state to the red. Those days are over, and imo it's the influx of anti-tax&vaxxxers, religious nuts, and other assorted culture warriors from the north that have tipped the scales.
Prior to the 2016 election, I witnessed a small but loud group of trumpanzees on a local street corner. It was days before the election and I thought then that there was no way that their idiotic game show host candidate would win and that they would once again disappear into the woodwork, from whence they came. But it is us, the Dems and the left in Florida that have been disappearing.
