Ben Shapiro reflects on the decline of Los Angeles, highlighting issues such as homelessness, drug addiction, and street crime. He also discusses the increasing polarization and intolerance of different views in the city. These factors, combined with strict COVID-19 measures and downplayed violence during the BLM riots, have prompted many Americans to move to Florida. The state’s Republican Party has prioritized low taxes, predictable regulation, education choice, law enforcement, religious liberty, and family structures, making it an attractive destination for new residents.
Florida Republicans prioritize victory and understand that it is crucial to prevent Democrats from implementing corrupt voting protocols. They emphasize the need for hard work, including cleaning out bureaucracy, crafting detailed legislation, and gathering data and votes. Florida’s history of Republican victories serves as evidence that victory is possible for those who believe in it. The state’s diverse population becoming more Republican is a source of concern for Democrats nationwide.
Ben Shapiro’s keynote speech provides insights into the decline of Los Angeles and the rise of Florida as a desirable destination for Americans seeking better governance and opportunities. He emphasizes the importance of victory for Republicans and encourages taking action to address current challenges.
