The one time I visited Florida, the people I met there really stood out to me as nasty, irritable, and snobbish. I say this as someone who grew up in West Virginia which is also a massive reactionary shithole.
It depends where, east coast FL has lots of bougie new-england “snow birds” ( retirees who migrate south to stay in their FL winter homes / condos ), and some of the most racist and reactionary people you will ever meet: Cuban gusanos and their pampered cokehead partying kids.
West coast FL, tampa esp is a little less confrontational, being mostly retirees from the midwest. Still racist af, but not as snobbish. Black people are quardoned off into extremely poor neighborhoods and cities, the color lines are marked by the absense of grass in these areas. St. petes is an annoying hipster mecca, but at least has an average age slightly less than that of the rest of florida ( ˜ 65 years old ).
Gainesville has college students that can barely read. Other areas inland are not safe for humans in general.
