Over 200,000 people showed up for Orlando Pride over the weekend, as an 11-year-old transgender girl led the parade as Grand Marshal.

The event was seen as a way to push back against Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ ® ongoing campaign of discrimination and persecution of the LGBTQ+ community.

      There’s 22 million Floridians.

      A 60% vote for DeSantis means 8.8 million sensible people in the state at an absolute minimum

        The number of registered republicans only overtook democrats in 2021. But the state has been getting more red for years as wealthier people and retirees move there while younger left-leaning people have been fleeing the state’s rising CoL under Skeletor and especially Deathsentence. I think the supercharging of the dumbass base via maga and Deathsentence propaganda that otherwise wouldn’t have voted prior to '16 also contributed to more registrations.
