    I believe the above poster was merely pointing out the irony of the situation, not saying that it’s actually humorous. Florida’s politics tend to villify refugees, while the residents themselves may soon become refugees fleeing to other states due to climate change.

      There is a lot of people in this state that don’t agree with any of that. That want to do something to mitigate the damage of climate change and are absolutely powerless. Constantly joking about how we are going to get it the worst and we somehow deserve it is gross as fuck, and it’s constantly applauded on these forums. Floridians are people too and if you stopped assuming all of them are red hat rocking dickheads that deserve to be drowned in global catastrophe that would be cool ya know.

        I’m in Texas, not that far from the coast, and I make these kinds of jokes. I don’t move because this is where my immediate family live and I don’t want to leave without them. Texans are a great group to make the butt of the jokes. Doesn’t mean I think I should be drowned or assume I’m a red-hat maga person.
