Not really anymore. The house seats are 20R and 8D, they haven't voted blue for president since Obama, and haven't elected a democrat as governor since the 90s. Voter registration is also heavily skewed republican.

To be fair, "since Obama" isn't very long ago, and Hillary and Biden weren't very inspiring candidates, to say the least.
I get the sentiment but Obama won his second term in 2012 (12 years ago) and the last Democratic governor was in 1998 (28 years ago!)

Florida hasn't been purple in a long time.

> 2012 (12 years ago)

14 years ago. If you just woke up from a two year nap, well, good luck catching up with everything that's happened.

It was 18 years ago, and I did point out other metrics to support my case.
The 2016 election was 10 years ago.
