2. New York isn't all that far behind

Goes to show that no state or region has a monopoly on RW idjits. New York is populous too, so there’s that.

4. I agree, the two most populous red states would have the most participants.

3. Some of the FL arrests were not of Floridians

But of dickwads from the Northeast. One literally said he went on the run here to Broward because Trump and DeSantis would help him.

5. Good news is Proud boys and Oath keepers are going broke now

according WSJ article ( paywall)....

Issue have to do with up to 80% drop in membership, charges of mis-spent donations.

7. We could let Texas secede and make DC a state, then we wouldn't need a new flag!

I see an upside to this!
