@csa_appreciator The Republic of West Florida didn't include any of the modern state of Florida. It's the area between the Perdido and Mississippi rivers, which is AL/MS/LA today.
@mattforney The answer to all 3 of these elections is "low info voters". Republicans will usually vote for whoever has an R next to their name (Democrats do the same too) and people in primaries vote for whatever name they recognize.
@electionsjoe It's an open secret that Donalds hates the panhandle and rural areas in a classist way this is something everyone here talks about and that the panhandle takes passionately.
@MikeWilnau Basically the longer they've been here the more likely they voted for Collins or Williams and the less likely they voted for Donalds.
There's a slight correlation with Fishback but his voters are mostly just young people regardless of family origins.
@karlbfl Yeah, cause he called the Panhandle, my home, a fucking trash heap and basically wouldnโt want to live in the โshittiest part of Florida.โ
