Forced Choice

The Washington Free Beacon reports on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ speech at the Reagan Center in Simi, CA. The title of their report is as follows.

In Los Angeles Speech, DeSantis Warns America Must Choose Between California and Florida

Implicit in that choice is the way both are being run. FL is a model, CA is a mess. FL is doing its level best to root out the “woke” nonsense that progressives have tried to foist on us. CA is doing its level best to scale new heights of ridiculous wokeness.

If both were run identically, it would be no choice at all. CA is the more desirable piece of real estate, FL is flat, swampy, buggy and humid. CA is none of those things.

But they are being run about as differently as is possible under the U.S. Constitution, and therefore DeSantis is correct in saying that, as currently governed, FL is a clear winner, CA is a loser.
