    Learn to swim, I’ll see you down in Arizona Alabama Bay.

          I mean I get that but you’d still be swimming in the Gulf of Mexico if Florida were to break away from the continent, they wouldn’t change the name to bay of Alabama

            That’s like saying the song would be incorrect because technically they’d be swimming in the Pacific.

            Bays absolutely are still located in the Gulf of Mexico.

        Your sentiment is good but misplaced. The ocean will already do that for us in our lifetime. With any hope, the crazies might go underwater with Florida, but it will most likely disperse them.

        I know you’re kidding, but I’m almost considering Ohio exactly because of all of the NOTHING* that happens.

        *Except that one thing. But I’ll probably be living far away from that.

            My grandmother’s family is from southern Illinois. It’s not that great but it is the cheapest part, but there are a lotta bigots and racists there.

    DeSaster once said that being woke means “war on truth” What the fuck do you call this then? Cuz this ain’t it, chief.

      The ironic thing is, we have a quasi-official definition of what “woke” means from one of DeSantis’ goons:

      https://www.fox13news.com/news/what-does-woke-mean-gov-desantis-officials-answer-during-andrew-warren-trial

      The governor’s general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.” He added that DeSantis doesn’t believe there are systemic injustices in the country, reports Florida Politics.

        I guess if that’s the case reps can’t complain about “welfare queens” Because systematic injustice isn’t real

    Hm if black people benefitted from slavery, why not reintroduce slavery then? And while you are at it, maybe white people want to benefit, too? Maybe DeSantis specifically could also benefit. Let’s make him “benefit”. /s

        I think people misunderstand the 13th as simply ending slavey, not so. There is a very very large EXCEPT in there and it becomes clear why 🚔 🚓 👮‍♂️ 🚨 🚔 🚓 👮‍♀️ 🚨 🚔 they have so many problems because of law enforcement

      When the only thing that keeps your marriage together is the church and the only thing that keeps you from liking the same sex is god, you keep on fighting.

        Even if you don’t fall into that category, one of the main gotchas of the church is to use one of your most basic biological programmings and tell you it’s a sin. The church teaches that even thinking lustfully about someone is a sin. They tell you that the urge to reproduce is sinful and only they have the cure.
