Ron DeSantis Reveals Voter Registration Trends From New Residents, And Wow
By: Jonathan Davis
The differences between the economic boom in red states and the recession in blue ones is still quite stark. And the blue ones do not have anything to show for their dictatorships in the form of saved lives, hospitalizations, and cases. The people are moving to red states and becoming Republicans.

Ron DeSantis Reveals Voter Registration Trends From New Residents, And Wow

One of the greatest political migrations in our country’s history is taking place right before our eyes, and the results are likely to have an impact for a generation, and maybe longer.
We have the COVID pandemic to blame. Or thank.
Many Democratic governors saw the pandemic as an opportunity to expand their authority. Meanwhile, most red-state governors were careful with assuming emergency powers to deal with the virus and used them sparingly for the most part (we’re looking at you, Govs. Ron DeSantis and Mike Parsons). Others never enacted any emergency measures at all (we looking at you, Gov. Kristi Noem).
Freedom-loving Americans in blue states — and yes, there are many — increasingly have decided to vote with their feet: They are relocating to red bastions of liberty and prosperity, as noted by DeSantis during a town hall-style event hosted Wednesday in Nashville by Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“The media, at the beginning of this, said Florida’s bad, and I think it’s because they want to damage [former President Donald] Trump in Florida, they want to damage me. So, they just kept saying it was bad,” DeSantis said. “And even though the facts didn’t say it, like literally last April, they’re saying Florida is doing worse than New York. New York was like 10 times worse.”
“And so, I think what it did is the people that buy those phony narratives for these media, they probably aren’t coming to Florida. But most people see through it. But the people that see through it, they think like us. And so, I think a lot of these people are coming. I think they are registering as Republicans overwhelmingly,” DeSantis added. “And I also have come across a lot of people who, quite frankly, were Democrats. The lockdowns turned them into Republicans.”
The lockdowns turned them into Republicans.
DeSantis was responding to a comment from Hannity who observed that many residents of deep blue lockdown states New Jersey, New York, and California pulled up stakes and high-tailed it to red Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and elsewhere.
“People say, ‘I was a Democrat because of education and I’m in California and they’re locking my kids out of school. I come to Florida, they’re in school.’ People are free. People are happy,” DeSantis continued.
“If you have a political party that puts the interest of teachers’ unions over the interest of kids being able to just access an education at all, that tells you all you need to know about the modern Democrat Party,” he added.
The other red-state governors made similar observations.
“[T]he story that I think we need to tell about 2020 is that leadership has consequences. Just look at Democrat states and what happened to families and businesses there. You look at Republican states and how they’re growing and they’re thriving. … So we talk about statistics and facts all the time, but those stories are going to be powerful,” Noem said.
“We came to some conclusions that we were going to prioritize lives and livelihoods, and all of us were going to err on the side of liberty and limited government. It was going to be a light touch,” added Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey.
The verdict is in for tens of millions of Americans: They prefer freedom over tyranny, and they’re moving towards it like they would a beacon in the darkness.

So DeSantis has no actual evidence that any of those relocating to his State are actually registering Republican, he just makes an unproven baseless claim and some rabid Republicans eat it up and claim he "Revealed" voter registration trends. He tries out the Trump tactic making completely unfounded claims by using “People say" and the dumb shits and half wits eat it up. They don't even bother with polls because they would very likely show exactly the opposite but they wouldn't believe them anyway. He gives zero evidence, just a rhetorical claim that he's "come across a lot of people" who he claims "were Democrats" but were turned into "Republicans". Is this the right wings new Southern strategy?
This seed is laughable.
Just another in a long line of bs seeds.
Here is your badge:
[deleted] Fortunately, many of us are better than that. But then, it doesn't get much worse than that either.
BS is easily recognizable and evident. It's just being called out as such.
Then they're likely wrong. Especially when all people have to offer is BS.
Who's attacking?
Another load of shit article.
Over 36,000 Florida Republicans leave GOP after election, voter records show
There are more articles on how many more republicans left the party after the January 6th insurrection I could post for you.
Try dealing with reality for a change.
