There’s no question Florida has a big element of purple to it. Yet you’ve had a Republican Gov for the past 20 years, Republicans control the state legislature, you have two Republican Senators and the state voted for the Republican Presidential candidate. At least at the moment that’s pretty red.
Those facts do not change that it is still almost always very close. Should the USA split, South Florida and likely Tampa would leave the poverty stricken backward areas that hold us back and join the successful states that form a new union.
