One of the greatest things about America is that each individual state can vote and instill the leadership they desire in their Governor and State Legislative bodies. As most are aware, the two primary ideologies that greatly influence leadership decisions are either liberal or conservative. Never has there been a more valuable time to compare these two ideologies. One ideology is clearly on a path to ensure that each individual state be forced to adopt and practice what they are convinced is in the best interest for them and the Nation. The other ideology is centered more upon what the Founding Fathers fought to preserve which is captured in the language of the United States Constitution. It will be a political battle to either federalize States’ rights or for States to maintain their autonomy.
While our efforts are now focused on highlighting the Conservative values that will restore the America First Agenda, we feel it’s necessary to make you aware of the progressive left’s efforts to destroy our Country in record time. In a recent article by Kyle Smith, “California and Florida Battle for the Soul of a Nation”, he illustrates political, economic, philosophical and practical contrasts between two States: the more liberal California and the more conservative Florida.
The following table illustrates the differences between these two States. As you begin to give serious consideration to the upcoming elections of 2022 and 2024, this information will serve to assist you in deciding which potential America you want to live in and raise your children.
