At some point, people need to take responsibility for their government. DeSantis won by 19 points with >50% turnout. That's pretty convincing to me. Florida is no longer a swing state. GOPers moved their in droves because of DeSantis' politics.

Sure, to an extent, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't also be empathetic to those of whom who are adversely affected by this and didn't really have a say in the matter -- kids are an example I brought up in another comment, but all of the victims of voter suppression as well. Florida should be responsible for platforming desantis but that doesn't mean that florida deserves desantis.
