Political Memes

I wonder if the ocean will pay for this one.

You might want to build one to keep the Floridians in

That always goes well

And then they're going to have to drive a Chevy there to check if it's dry..

Yet they're still voting for Republicans. They're enabled this.

Floridians are still voting Red in droved. Guess something else is more important to them at the polls.

Thanks for posting this. I've lived in Florida my whole life, and voted blue-no-matter-who in every election since I was eligible to vote, as do all my friends and family. I try to help others within my sphere of influence to make good political choices, too, and those conversations can be hard. My area has been particularly red for as long as I can remember, and that has only gotten more true in recent years. It often sucks to live here but I am stuck for the foreseeable future, and so I am putting forth the effort to change what I am able.

As such, I have always found it a bit discouraging that so many seem to think that Florida is some hive-mind phenomenon, wherein every eligible person votes against their own best interests in perfect unison. I mean, a lot of them do, obviously -- but the lack of empathy for the rest of us, that's the weird part to me.

Also, this got me curious and I looked up how the voter base skews along party lines, the numbers are way closer than I would have guessed.

Yet they keep voting for the opposite. Is it tribalism or is the data wrong?

I hear Aquaman is ready to scoop up all of those underwater properties!

Well of course the rich will leave, then even with the gerrymandering Dems or even progressives can take control, just in time to be blamed like Biden for Trump's tax hikes (the cuts were permanent for the rich and temporary followed by hikes for us plebs).

I hear Aquaman is looking to boost his real estate portfolio.

You really think all those silver hairs will stay. They will infest alabama and it will barely change a shade.

A permanent rise, yes, but storm surges and stuff will make Miami uninhabitable far sooner than that.

Miami elevation is 6 feet? Something like that?

Hurricanes and storms means that you don't need to wait for the full amount of sea level rise. Insurance is already skyrocketing because of the damage.

Sea level rise of 5 meters isn’t happening in any of our lifetimes.

Report: 500K South Florida Homes at Risk of Storm Surge

The newly released report highlights the Miami metro area's mass exposure to coastal flooding risk from hurricanes.

...

Often the deadliest element of a hurricane, surge waters from strong storms can rise 15 feet or more above the ordinary sea level, enveloping streets and buildings in coastal areas.

The report found that roughly 7.7 million homes in hurricane-exposed regions in the U.S. are susceptible to storm surge flooding.

Just circle the area of the map where you want the climate change to go.

If we get the right ~~person~~ rabbit, they won't have anywhere to go.

Current models predict that climate displaced people in the US generally are all going to begin moving towards the Great Lakes as the least severely impacted parts of the country. Apparently to Wisconsin in particular since it's less already inhabited than the rest of the region.

Vote out Republicans at every level of government.
