They all live in or are based in Sarasota Couty, Florida, which is currently ground zero for the war on school mask mandates.

How Sarasota Became the Conspiracy Capital of the United States
Conspiracists like Michael Flynn and the Cyber Ninjas have descended on Sarasota, where doctors recently signed 4,000 mask waivers for children with anti-vax parents.

The video opens like the trailer for a post-apocalyptic movie.

There’s doom-laden, bass-heavy music; drone footage of cars backed up as far as the eye can see; and hundreds of people queuing around the block. Then, a young girl appears on camera, looks straight down the lens, and says: “My father sacrificed for your freedom.”

But this isn’t the latest dystopian movie from Roland Emmerich. It’s a video from an event organized in Sarasota, Florida, last week, where organizers claim thousands of parents were able to get mask-mandate waivers signed for their children.

No one is willing to take credit for organizing the event, which took place at a picturesque wedding location near the city of Venice, but one person who is central to the event was disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

“You can see the numbers of people that are here to learn about our health and the health tyranny we are facing in this country,” Flynn said in the video taken at the event.

1. I was gonna remark that Scientology has HQ there

but it is in Clearwater instead. Still, it supports my hypothesis that very little good comes out of Florida.

4. Lots of Old, Rich, White People

My MIL lives in Venice. There are a lot of old, rich, white people that live there. The prevailing attitude is "I got mine, f**k you." According to her, it's gotten worse since COVID, and it's bound to get worse now that the snowbirds are coming down to escape the "tyrannical" mask mandates in the Northeast.

We used to joke when we would go down there that the Democratic Club of Venice could hold it's meetings in a phone booth.
