ROTFL
California has the biggest population of Republicans then any other state
Their voices have been silenced
Dumbest President ever made sure with his antics in other states
Trump forced the Dems hand


I say good, other States want to play dirty, States that actually matter can play just as dirty...

Fine. Just PLEASE never whine about the .01% that can’t figure out how to get an ID of any sort not being allowed to vote somewhere. Democrats have essentially announced they are trying to silence the voices of X million of their citizens. You know, since Ralph did something bad, I’m going to do it badder! California wants to hasten the exodus of the Republicans who feel disenfranchised? Seems like they legally can. More tax dollars to flee the state.

Republicans have been doing this for decades. At least Democrats are doing it honorably by having a proposition vote on it.

Congressional redistricting has nothing to do with people leaving the State.

Not true. It’s just another straw on the camels back. You can’t know which straw was the one that broke the camels back. You don’t think some of the politicians, and those that fill their offices, that will be ousted won’t leave for Texas or Florida or …. I think some will. And they won’t be those who are filling Cali’s homeless encampments, or illegals working under the table.

I live in a huge Floridian retirement community. You can’t go a day without someone saying they are here because of the political mess that is NY.

But to be clear, it’s not the reason I’m here.

I simply don't agree with that. Federal voting districts have no effect to local life, nobody is fleeing for that reason.

Why move to FL if not for politics and tax breaks? And, what part of FL?

Ummmmm….. I golfed this morning, then spent some time in the hot tub, between pleasant dog walks. It’s dropping to -2 F in Buffalo tonight so no tee time, no hot tub luxuriating, and no miserable unpleasant dog walks there!
I live in The Villages. Just north of Orlando, and South of Ocala. I think we are up to a population of 140,000. You literally can get everywhere in a golf cart. It’s not free here, but much cheaper than you’d think.

Again, can you point to your public opposition to partisan or mid-census redistricting in Red States?

Yes, but there are lots of places in the U.S. (and outside,) that have warm weather (many debatable better than FL because no summer humidity.)

I am not bashing you or saying it's a bad place to live, I am genuinely asking why FL, especially villages, you are not even on or near the beach or any natural area to my understanding? (Which to me is the only draw of FL.)

I’ll hijack this thread to answer for a bit. But I’ll start with a small negative that is germane to the thread. Maybe more ‘Trumpers’ here than anywhere else in the country. But not a bother if you don’t let it bother you.

First of all, I still live in Buffalo May-October. So not subject to the hot/humid summers. The Villages is immaculately kept. Just beautiful throughout. Most important for me are the 60 or so golf courses I can drive my personal golf cart to. I can play the 9 hole executive courses essentially for free. And the really nice ‘Championship’ 18 hole courses are really nice, and reasonably priced. It’s early February and I golfed then sat in my hot tub.

It’s also convenient to get back to Buffalo. Plenty of direct flights from Orlando to Buffalo. Which is important to us. And a (sort of) reasonable drive twice a year. Once there. Once back.

Well maintained dog parks. Dozens of heated public pools. Innumerable Pickleball/Tennis/Bocce/Shuffleboard/Horseshoe courses
Polo field. Softball fields. Town squares with a band every night. Cheap restaurants.

I specifically did NOT want to live by the ocean here. I know two people who did whose houses literally don’t exist anymore.
