Encountering a TDS Sufferer Suffering in FL - 9/7/2025

I accompanied my mom for a medical test the other day. While we were in the waiting area, a very opinionated and chatty woman of 88 years, a retired NYC teacher, opined about any number of things. Clearly, she was a left of center blue voter, a customer of all her news from the deep blue echo chamber of the NY Times, CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN, probably with a little New Yorker, the Atlantic, and NPR thrown in for good measure. I behaved myself. She's entitled to her opinion. I even went as far as keeping my mouth shut when she told us she hates Florida, "I hate it here." In the context of the rest of her comments, it was clearly a political statement.

Governor Ron DeSantis

 

"Come back home to NY, where your socialist Democrat heart longs to be!"

I know there are many deep blue, TDS sufferers who are miserable here or who won't move here because Florida is so awful. Governor DeSantis has done a great job, and as cities and states to our north continue to evolve further and further toward the progressive and socialist left, more and more moderate and conservative voters have fled here. If I wasn't being polite, I'd have told the old gal, "Move back to NY and be happy." I didn't. I kept my mouth shut. Anyone who believes the NY Times and still deceptively edited television like CBS 60 Minutes doesn't give two shits about my opinion, nor do I give even one shit about hers.

A parting note: Blowing up Venezuelan narco-terrorists is what I voted for. They're not criminals who we wait to arrive and hope to catch selling their drugs. They're an organized group from abroad bringing death to the USA. At this point, who among us doesn't know or know of a family, if not your own, which has lost someone to fentanyl? Sending these terrorists to Davey Jones' locker is the right choice.

Can you imagine it, there are people who hate Trump more than they hate these guys? These people think they are righteous and good. What they are is Trump Deranged.
