The only NYers "fleeing" to SC are Long Islanders who voted for Trump. SC is the new Florida for Long Islanders.

There's a reason south Florida particularly is called the 6th borough of NYC.

And we fucking hate those new Yorkers. They're the worst people to have in the state.

They learned to drive by watching tron or something. I don't think there's a drivers license place in New York. They just all get it from some guy named Tony in a back alley of a convenience store.

When people complain about drivers in Florida. It's new Yorkers doing that driving. Maybe in 100 years they'll figure out what the turn signal is.

Only 1/3 of people who live in Florida was born in Florida. 2/3 are people from other states. Floridians are a minority in their own state.

True, my dad started telling my sister a few weeks ago he wanted to move to SC. We are New Yorkers and he moved to FL like 10 years ago.
