LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Midland Democrats resort to hateful … – Midland Daily News
I didnt know whether to laugh or to be disappointed when I read the chair of the Midland County Democrat Partys letter to the editor in last weeks Midland Daily News calling Florida Gov. RonDeSantis a fascist.
Really? Are ad hominem attacks calling Gov. DeSantis a fascist really the best the Midland Democrats can muster?
Seems like quite an empty and angry charge for those who proclaim that Hate Has No Home Here.
Far from being a dictator,Gov. DeSantis is a popular elected leader who even won longtime Democrat strongholds like Miami-Dade County en route to his nearly 20% landslide re-election win. Perhaps you should ask more than 4.5 million Floridians who supported his campaign what they make of the Midland Democrats unfounded claim.
Gov. DeSantis won re-election by such a large margin. He gets results. Comparing his results in Florida to Gov. GretchenWhitmer in Michigan is quite striking:
With this track record, it is easy to see why Florida is winning where Michigan is losing. Florida has a stronger economy and better schools.Atlas Van Lines marked Florida as one of the Top 10 states for in-bound migration, while Michigan was one of the Top 10 States for out-bound migration. Michigan has lost an estimated more than 22,000 people to Florida since 2022 alone. Thats about half the size of the city ofMidland!
Floridas track record of success under the conservative leadership of Gov. DeSantis is why the Midland County Republican Party invited him to be our speaker at our Dave Camp Spring Breakfast. We had a sold-out crowd of more than 600 people in attendance.
The Midland County Democrats may feel threatened by his bold leadership and strong results, which is why they resort to name-calling. The facts and our strong turnout at our breakfast speak for themselves: Michiganders are buying into the Florida Plan.
