Don't be too sanguine about the ''GOP registration" in FL. I'm sure quite a few are from places in which the republicans have their own kind of machine politics, meaning the people will vote the way the party establishment tells them. It is true DeSantis is unique. The party puppeteers probably want another Skeletor, or possibly the little roach in heels. Anyone like that does us no good on many fronts. No better than most democrats - Scott did things I'd expect of demos. Of course, Gillum is another matter. If DeSantis leaves office in mid-term to run for President, you may expect a "Nikki" at best, or something a lot worse.
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.

And it could have gone quite the opposite way in the blink of an eye, if that dem Andrew Gillium had been elected.... and he came way too close. We need to find a worthy successor for DeSantis when he goes onto national politics.
Well the Florida GOP is not a big fan of DeSantis. I mean he just vetoed the redistricting plan the Florida Legislature (controlled by the GOP) gave him.
You mean that part of the GOP legislature that (in turn) is controlled by "The Rodent/FRF?" We need to primary their a$$es out

I really hope so. And, in the districts where they are truly needed.

The saddest part is that probably less than 1% of Floridians know what the FRF is, with only a tiny portion of those knowing the power it, along with the Reedy Creek Rat wield. Those that suggest confronting the politicians in their pockets are short sighted. Politicians come and go. They're merely the lap dogs of their masters. If you want real change, go after the FTF and Disney. Make their money un-spendable. Once reps are off their leash, they might have to start giving a shit what the voters say.

Which is why I hope the legislature strikes right now, while "The Rodent" and Gov. DeSantis are at odds with each other. We could get some stuff done!

If Trump doesn't drop out, DeSantis very likely waits until 2028.

A special session of the Florida Legislature has nothing to do with it. It is very possible to become monomaniacal about one subject. It has obviously happened here.

Take some GOP scalps, then they will care. Not until. And DeSantis is the wrong target for scalping.
And the other thing that has to be done is "decouple" Constitutional carry from "Open Carry." Honestly, I think too may people imply "Open carry" with Constitutional, and that is what's killing it in FL. We all know "The Rodent" and the FRF don't want open carry in FL and they will do all they can to fight it and "incentivize" the FL legislature accordingly. If we could get "constitutional carry" for "concealed only" in FL, that might be possible. Otherwise, I don't see it happening in FL unless "The Rodent/FRF" get something in return... most likely "No gun Signage" that has the force of law (like Texas).
Hell no, FLORIDIANS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN CARRY IF THEY WANT.

ENOUGH COMPROMISING!

Do you really think you can take on the "Rodent/FRF" and win? 'Cause that's what you'll have to do if you want to get Constitutional Carry (with OC) passed without an explosion of "no guns allowed" signs with the force of law. Texas already demonstrated that. They had Sec. 30.06 and 30.07 signs with the force of law. When they got Constitutional Carry, suddenly there came Sec. 30.05 and the signs sprouted everywhere.

It's not a matter of compromise. It's a matter of getting the right people elected that won't kowtow to the Rodent/FRF. Because that's the only way it will happen. If you decouple OC from Constitutional Carry, it just might have a shot at passing in our lifetimes.

BTW, I hear that the "special session" will ONLY be about the electoral maps, and nothing else.

That's what it was called for. They are not limited to that, but just empirically redistricting is a complicated subject and very easily could eat up the clock.
