Wokeness has a reputation for intolerance. And that reputation has made many of us intolerant of the woke.
Safeguarding one’s way of life is critical, particularly when we know what those choosing to join us will foolishly bring with them. This from westernjournal.com.
At least one Floridian has resorted to what could be construed as civil disobedience by voicing disdain over the influx of New Yorkers into a Palm Beach neighborhood.
A number of cars with New York license plates found notes on their car windows instructing them to move someplace else if they identify with the political left, according to the New York Post.
Typed in capital letters, the message read, “If you are one of those ‘woke’ people — leave Florida. You will be happier elsewhere, as will we.”
The fliers alarmed some citizens to the extent that they reported the incident to the Palm Beach Police Department. After a brief investigation on Jan. 2, police concluded that no crime had been committed.
Only those vehicles with out-of-state plates were targeted, according to Capt. William Rothrock, public information officer for the department, and the “majority” of those had New York plates.
This means that the cars were not damaged, no credible threats were made and basically, there was nothing to see.
Really? Our democracy is in peril because someone left a note on your car? What is so dangerous about suggesting that everyone involved would be happier if wokesters left the state? Rude, perhaps, but dangerous? And, what was the threat?
Perhaps this “escapee” of New York brought their “dangerous” political vote with them to their new Florida home. Is this not more dangerous than the placing of a flier on a vehicle windshield?
Noteworthy, the state of New York should be the one threatened by the mass exodus to Florida.
Among those fleeing from New York to Florida are top Wall Street hedge funds and financial services, according to Forbes. Goldman Sachs may be moving a money management division to The Sunshine State. Other Wall Street big dogs like investment bank Moelis and Virtu Financial Inc. are planning to move some of their operations to Florida as well.
However, this could be bad news for both Floridians and New Yorkers.
Floridians fear that big money New Yorkers will bring their leftists politics in tow, while New York suffers from the loss of tax revenue.
In a Nov. 27 interview with Breitbart News, Christian Ziegler, vice-chair of the Florida Republican Party, said that as of Oct. 31, 2021, voters who were registered Republican surpassed their Democrat counterparts for the first time in the history of Florida.
Wokeism, which relies on misdirection, obfuscation and emotion, is foreign to America.
Yes, the elitist lefties moving to Florida may likely bring their politics with them. But they only get one vote each. We the People are many. Take heart.
The mass exodus is an opportunity to win people over to the right side. Others, once they get a taste of freedom, will come over on their own.
Instead of “Leave Florida” fliers, next time consider a flier that lists in bullet format the positive results of Conservatism.
God speed to the powers of right and true.
And God speed to Conservatism.
