    As a Floridian, after 2 hurricanes hit this state in 2 weeks, I know I for one am glad that the Republican legislature and @GovRonDeSantis focused on culture wars instead of homeowners insurance the past two legislative sessions. 🧵

    I mean, I know my fellow Floridians agree that I'd much rather have immigrants shipped to Martha's Vineyard on my dime than have them repairing roofs and helping clean up Florida.

    Floridians can't secure a mortgage without homeowners insurance, so we are screwed on that front. But, at least I don't have to worry about drag queens reading banned books to my kids, am I right?

    Just feeling super thankful today that the Republicans have been in charge of this state for more than 20 years and after the worst case scenario hurricane hits the state, it's just great to know that Republicans have had their priorities in order. 🙄🙄🙄

    And for those of you who missed it, this entire thread is sarcasm. Fuck Ron DeSantis. Fuck the Republican legislature. Fuck their horrific priorities. Fuck their hate. Fuck their abuse of power. Fuck their lack of forward thinking and planning. Fuck them all.

    "The freest state in the country," right? The one where we have run off the helpers. The one where our citizens cannot afford to live here. But at least we don't have to worry about brown people, public education, or the trans community. 🙄
