      I believe the above poster was merely pointing out the irony of the situation, not saying that it’s actually humorous. Florida’s politics tend to villify refugees, while the residents themselves may soon become refugees fleeing to other states due to climate change.

        There is a lot of people in this state that don’t agree with any of that. That want to do something to mitigate the damage of climate change and are absolutely powerless. Constantly joking about how we are going to get it the worst and we somehow deserve it is gross as fuck, and it’s constantly applauded on these forums. Floridians are people too and if you stopped assuming all of them are red hat rocking dickheads that deserve to be drowned in global catastrophe that would be cool ya know.

      Sorry the conservative bigots who deny climate change and pretend the water isn’t rising are going to get wet.

      There. That’s my sympathetic statement for them. But, no amount of warnings or even pleading with them can ever cause conservatives to do the right thing. The more we implore them to recognize the science, the more likely they are to drown just to upset us.

      I, for one, support a conservative’s right to drown exactly as they insist. We should be supporting their decisions for once. Let them face the tides bravely. We should be cheering them on as they sink beneath the waves. 👏 Good job, y’all! Good job! 👏

      As for the innocent non-conservatives, we should be rescuing them and getting them to normal states just to get them away from the conservatives. Leave the rest behind.

      It’s a common figure of speech. It doesn’t mean actually funny.
