What is it about Florida boaters and Trump?? [View all]

Boater here. Just went from Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale and back through Okeechobee Waterway. Out this weekend too. Get out about 2-3 times a month in Tampa Bay and along Gulf Intercoastal. Traversing some ruby red counties.

Ugh.

Trump 2024, MAGA , "Take Back America," and "F Biden" flags (BIG obnoxious ones too) just catch my eye and they seem to be everywhere. Maybe less so than 2016 and 2020 (maybe?). Don't get me started on sandbar life and how they've overun that. Waterfromt homes also. Large signs and flags along waterways.

Truly, help me. What is it about the psyche of Florida boaters that are so enthralled with Trump and why do they go out of their way to put it IN...YOUR... FACE?

White privilege and affluence?? Tacky trash?? "I've got mine, F you"??

Just takes a little joy out of getting on the water.
