My first question was what were these two on?

Hard to believe that such concentrated stupidity exists. Even in Florida.

DeSantis is selling tshirts that say "make America Florida" which, in addition to being a shot directly at Trump, is a *terrible* slogan because you are going to associate Florida Guy stories directly with Ron DeSantis and wind up with stuff like this.

Just counter by finishing the sentence: Make America Florida Man. Once you can't say one without hearing the other, we've won.

Pretty sure we won when they said "Make America Florida" in the first place. It's already the country's punching bag.

I agree, but the Florida Man part is too familiar of a phrase and sounds too close to Great Again that you can't unhear it with enough popularity. Shit phase all together, but easier to parrot.

Additionally, you can't say that without hearing it in Bart Simpson's voice.

Yes, Florida, the role-model state. Wonder if people in Florida are deluded about their state.

Not all of us. But yes, many are hopelessly deluded and lack any modicum self awareness.

The Florida man meme exists because of a good government policy around transparency in reporting what crimes the state is prosecuting.

Bring that to the rest of the US, and you will turn all of the states into Florida man. Everyone else hides their Florida men

In Florida defense. Florida stupidity is public due to transparency which is a good thing. I forgot the details and specifics. But rhey something that makes their arrests super public. That's why theres a Florida man meme.
