This resonates with me a lot as someone that's been left of center in FL for the past 27 years. I feel really defeated actually. I've typically identified as politically active, but I just feel run-over at this point. I am working on getting approval from my job to leave this state, and I'm 2 out of 3 hurdles done. I can't fight fascism my entire life, and I feel like I have. I'm tired.

LoL same... I already fled Florida without my work's approval because they don't ever really mean it when they ask me to come into office but mostly cause I'm a contractor and they just don't care as long as they can fire me next economic downturn for them.

I've been so beaten down again and again and kept getting back up to show up to protests and political activism since high school and never have I found a community that lasts as a community and neither does it feel like any movement keeps momentum before dying out having done nothing.

We have gone so long without any reasonable transition of power and no real repercussions for ignoring the will of the people and not helping them and I'm tired of people saying it's pointless to even try.

Sorry. Yeah burnt out too.

Not to bum you out or anything but fascism really doesn't respect borders

I hear you, it’s just getting really bad in central FL.
