Republicans moving to florida and out of swing states is a win for the swing states and democrats/liberals.

Im guessing most of them are older and wont see the worst of climate change but if they are younger it seems like a bad move.

You meant 4th, right? Per capita is the logical way to score this. Otherwise small desirable states that are overflowing with migrants would be scored below large states that accept a few in each city.

The problem is what do you put on it? climate change will cause hurricanes to destroy everything and in florida you'll never be able to get insurance to rebuild afterwords.

That is not true. Do you perhaps mean not the super ones that caused billions and billions in damages?

I suspect not "all the talking" heads were saying that either. But rather questioning if it was. And then scientists likely were saying reasonable things (like they tend to do) about how climate change will create more intense weather often unpredictably. Which certainly has happened and looks to be getting worse not better.

Do you think weather patterns are not changing to more extreme? Or what is your point here? Are you a full climate change denialist and do not believe that the Billions of people in the world are not impacting climate?

Are you lost? Why are you arguing against comments on news stories you saw not long ago here?

I was using it as an example of how, similar to some of the posts here, hyperbolic hysterical posts are more likely to induce an eye roll than be taken seriously.

I don’t get it. You’re asserting that there are posts made here that you disagree with but instead of quoting those posts and stating your disagreements with them so that the people you’re disagreeing with know who they are and why you disagree with them you’re instead disagreeing with a straw man and hoping that unnamed people will know that you’re implying that they’re also made of straw for reasons you refuse to provide.

I thought it was pretty clear that I was addressing Simbertos post about “future beachfront property” and Sermokala post about “hurricanes destroying everything” in the portion of that paragraph that you deleted when you quoted me

And you couldn’t make your point without pivoting to your ongoing argument with an unnamed YouTube comment section? This is just like that dumb thing I saw an idiot doing on an Instagram reel. Man that guy was stupid.

While that's true, do we happen to know which states have the most people leaving for Florida? Because if they're leaving solid blue states, that wouldn't be very helpful for Democrats (especially since Florida could be purple but arguably is becoming light red now, pulling a potential swing state away from Democrats).
