We don’t know who this person voted for. They could be totally against Desantis and never voted for him like millions of other people did as well. I certainly didn’t vote for the premiere of my province who is corrupt and screwing us all over constantly.

I know a guy in the Reedy Creek fire department. He is a hard core Republican. When Desantis took over the board he didn’t think it would be a bad thing.

I like the guy and have known him for years so it’s sad to see it go this way but you get the government you votes for.

It seems like a fair number of these firefighters voted for the Leopards Eating Faces Party, and are now getting their faces eaten.

You get the government you voted for?

For so many people in this country that isn't the case.

I live in a deep red state. I sure as fuck did not vote that way.

The country has gotten so bad that I'm not looking into moving States any more. I'm looking at other countries.

I have been practicing my pronunciation of "Cahnahdah," trying to get it like Robin from 8 bit show & tell. Except I'm divorced with a kid and new partner who has a kid. I'd have to convince 10 other people to go with me so everyone can still see their kids.

You got any good skills? Like nunchuck fighting skills, bow hunting skills... Canada only likes immigrants if they've got good skills.

Well Napoleon, my great great grandmother was from Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, it's too remote for me to get the benefit of Canadian citizenship. But I'm willing to try - mainly for my daughter's future. The US is fucked and I don't see it getting better. And I won't bring American bullshit with me. Maybe I need to meet a cute 40-something Canadian to smooth the waay.

This reminds me of the old women that were living off of their permanent alimony payments in Florida suddenly having that yanked by Republicans and who are VERY angry at DeSADIST as well.

Firefighters in Florida are about 90% conservatives. Even if this specific firefighter is not a conservative, his complaint is shared by his conservative coworkers. The conservatives are bitching and moaning about the results of their conservatism.

That’s fair and if that’s the case it’s leopards ate my face material.

I'm not sure about that figure. Cops? Sure. But don't know about firefighters. They always seemed way cooler and are actual heroes.
