Since Obama, a ton of MAGA types have moved to FL, making it more red (good news is, that in turn made several other states slightly more blue/purple), they've "swamped it", if you will.
Also, I think Obama normalizing relations w/ Cuba permanently shifted the Cuban-Americans in south FL to the Republican side. Fear of their short-sighted single-issue wrath was the main reason we never did it before, and it appears those fears were valid. That and constant GOP narratives of all Dems being "socialists" (even Biden) gradually working on them. They hate Castro, and any slight whiff of communism/socialism drives them right into the other party's arms.

Nah it's exclusively the former. That FL got swamped with anti-vax magas moving there for freedom.

Cubans have always been permanently on the R side and there's nothing that can be done about that generation. They've been the most reliable R vote in the country for decades. Literally nothing has changed with them.
