    IJ> There is a saying in Florida... and that is... The further North you are   
    IJ> n Florida the further south you are.   
      
   This sounds logical to me because: the southern states seem to be the MAGA   
   states, for the most part.   
      
    IJ> A lot of people who move to Florida from up north move to the more   
    IJ> southern parts of the state... It starts around Tampa and continues   
    IJ> south...  You can hear all the NY accents... and when these assholes   
    IJ> from NY move they bring their politics with them... This explains Miami,   
    IJ> and other larger southern cities voting Democrat.  Thanx to Ron DeSantis   
    IJ> and Daddy Trump these Blue areas now are Purple.   
      
   Hmm.. this is very interesting to me! It has always been my assumption that   
   the NYers move to Florida to escape the grasp of the left.. but I'm wrong   
   about that? It sounds like they are just going there to escape the cold   
   weather, and they're taking their ignorance with them. On behalf of the 48% of   
   NYers who are 100% MAGA, I apologize for this trash that's littering your   
   state.   
      
    IJ> I had a Real Estate license in Florida, still do, since the early 2000s.   
    IJ> My first real estate translation involved guns and gunfire...   
      
   Got any cheap land for sale? My wife is turning into a land collector. And I   
   told you about her: she's a MAGAmaniac. She converted me from brainwashed   
   leftist to redneck conservative patriot. If you got any cheap land for sale in   
   MAGA country, please tell us about it. I think she'd buy it!   
      
    IJ> So, the tenants drove through the RV park shooting guns in the air while   
    IJ> yelling that the buyers need to go back to Ohi'ya.   
      
   That's funny! I always thought of Ohio people as hillbillies, but I don't know   
   much about Ohio. I have a few good friends from different parts of Ohio. One   
   thing I noticed about them is that they talk like they're from Ontario! Ever   
   noticed that? They seriously talk like Canadians.   
      
    IJ> If I was ever in need of help... it was a   
    IJ> Conservative/Republican/RedNeck that had my back.  They were there   
      
   When I was a kid in jr high I was bullied by rednecks (I'm from a rural town   
   in NY.) So I always hated rednecks and country music, but now I AM a redneck   
   and I proudly listen to country music almost every day. Country people are my   
   people (for the most part anyway!)   
      
    IJ> One last true story... I just moved down there and it was Veteran's Day   
    IJ> and I was at a church.  The pastor started asking for people to stand   
    IJ> up, veterans, as he started a roll call of conflicts... WW1, WW2, Korea,   
    IJ> Vietnam... and the list goes on and on.  As he was calling out the   
    IJ> conflicts people started standing... Of course he calls out for Desert   
    IJ> Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom... By the time he was there almost   
    IJ> every man... BUT ME... was standing.  In my head I was YELLING "I'm   
    IJ> Canadian!!!  That's not fair"...   
    IJ>    
    IJ> HAHAHAHA... Could you imagine how much worse I'd be if I was actually   
    IJ> born there, raised and steeped in the southern ways...   
      
   This sounds like an interesting story, but I'm missing something here. Do you   
   mean you felt weird because you're from Canada, and the leftist Canadian   
   government has given Canada a bad name?   
      
   Personally, I've been in situations where I'm surrounded by veterans and I   
   feel a little ashamed because I never joined the military. I have the utmost   
   respect for people who enlist, but personally I know myself well enough to   
   know that I'm not cut out for the military. I don't have that type of bravery.   
   I'm the kind of guy who would probably just move to Iceland if America gets   
   f'd over.
