I am acutely aware of some of the state trends, living in Florida. It was really disappointing how hard our politics shifted to the right during the midterms, but then the Democrats essentially conceded the state to the extreme Republican agenda. The political ads were almost uniformly Republican. My hope is that we will get a better turnout by our more progressive voters in the future. The population as a whole, does not buy into the extreme bigoted agenda of the Republicans that control our state government. We just need to get better turnout. The GenZers only participated to the tune of about 23% locally. Had more of them voted, the results might well have been different. I hope they are as time goes on.
