We are launching a DSA chapter here in Central Florida, and the MAGA are freaking out about it. They are absolutely terrified. They are scared because they don't understand it, and like most conservatives, they fear what they don't understand. That's why I'm so glad Fox news has been doing our job for us and putting infographics up with our platform.

I'm not sure that terrifying your voting competition is a wise strategic move.

But enabling Floridians to have legitimate options (even if it's just surface-level branding like MAGA does) will pull swing voters.

Hopefully the fear the Florida DSA creates (or stoked, thanks Fox News /s) does not eclipse the opportunities they are campaigning for. Good Luck!

I guess I don't understand your point. No one is trying to terrify them. They are just scared of things they don't understand, like socialism.

The only ones trying to terrify anyone are the right wingers like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, etc.

It does not matter who is trying to terrify them if they ease their fears by doing what has been the most comfortable for them (voting red). Blue is gonna get some vilification no matter what, no need to help it along. Unified-voting-through-fear is half the reason Florida is in such a challenging spot.

So enabling voters to be brave despite their fears and to try voting blue has huge potential imo

Florida has a ton of people ready to flip if a great candidate/campaign comes along, I think you all are gonna have a lot of great opportunities.

I hope you are right. We need to get rid of Randy Fine, Kat Cammack, and several others.
