Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) issued what he described as a “formal travel advisory for socialists visiting Florida,” on Tuesday, warning that the state was “openly hostile” to socialists and their enablers.
Scott’s statement is a mocking response to recent travel issued by social justice groups declaring Florida an unsafe state for certain minority groups.
The post.
Obviously attempting to mock the LGBTQ travel advisories that have been put out recently. Kinda misses the mark considering those were being framed as...you know...a bad thing, whereas this is framed as a good thing. A actual warning for socialists to stay away.
As of now this is just a moronic shitpost by a sitting US senator. Maybe down the line FL will try to pass some kind of "Protecting against Marxism Act" or something, who knows.
Either way, this is an incredibly poorly conceived statement. No other states are putting out "conservative travel advisories" or telling conservatives to stay away or that they should be fearful of political action against them in their own state.
As a self described socialist living in FL it is very clear my representatives hate me. While Biden will go on long speeches about how "at the end of the day we are all Americans" my representatives telling me I should fear them and expect political supression. Cool
