    With that said, can some of y’all come down here to Florida? We’ve got a Nazi problem that’s getting out of control and can use some support.

    I don’t mean to be negative but what can other people do? I feel like it’ll be difficult to motivate the average non-racist to move to a place where they might have worse job prospects, get ostracized for their political/social views, and get both harassed and potentially arrested/killed by the police for trying to protest against racism.

      For real Florida already sucks even without Nazis or DeTaintis. Hell no I will not move there.

        What’s the implication here? Mass-shooting of right-wing extremists that martyr them and give fuel to further restrict and punish sane people?

            Talk is cheap. The real-world implications of mass-murder are not as easy as one would like to imagine.

            What do you think is more likely, that the powers that be go “Oh, they were nazis, that’s fine then” or “Look, the left are the violent ones, we need to take away the rights of anyone who associates with them!”?
