While the results of the mid-term elections appear to be a stinging rebuke of Trumpism, an enclave remains in the failed state of Florida.

The ballot initiative to amend the Florida constitution to reduce property taxes passed. This is an effort to shore up the Florida real estate industry. With skyrocketing insurance premiums, the only lever that Republicans will touch is cutting taxes. This will most seriously affect the urban areas and the public service sector. The fact that those areas are largely Democratic strongholds was a major plus for the Republicans.

The extreme rainfall events in Florida, which are not associated with any tropical storm system, should have been a warning to the state. But Florida is a fantasy. Sooner or later, people are going to figure it out, and they will flee Florida as we did.

While the state hasn't been hit by a hurricane in the time since we decided to leave, they haven't gone away.

The ongoing man-made disaster has only intensified.
