“Let me be clear – any attempts to spread the oppression and poverty that Socialism always brings will be rebuffed by the people of Florida,” he added. “Travelers should be aware that attempts to spread Socialism in north Florida will fail and be met with laughter and mockery.”

"However, in much of Central and South Florida, the situation is far more dangerous for Socialists, as they may encounter people from Cuba, Venezuela, and other parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean who have direct knowledge of, and experience with, the horrors of Socialism.

      There's a lot of ruin in a country. It can burn for a long time before the load-bearing members start cracking. Venezuela took 15 years for the wheels to fall off. America is orders of magnitude larger and stronger. But we're going a lot faster than they ever did.

        I say 5 because while history doesn't repeat exactly, it rhymes like Eminem.

        Right now, I see the US as in the beginning of the Bleeding Kansas period. It took about 7 years from that period to get to civil war. I'm expecting 5 years. And as you said, we're going a lot faster. Faster than even past US history.

        So, 5 years. Maybe even 3 years, since the 2024 US election will be a big turning point.
