4. Damage done: schools wont change course....

Now that policies have been changed, books purged, teachers and librarians fired, it won't suddenly be all rainbows and unicorns.

Pronouns still won't be respected. Bullies will still run unchallenged.

What has been done won't easily be undone. The shadow warriors are still there.

Until legislation forces change, a mere retraction of policy will do little. Schools that keep the old policies won't be stopped.

7. And there is still the comment by at least one legislature to eradicate all LGBT in Florida if they can.

All the same players are also still in place. This can be turned around and the same bullshit again. Now, they want the LGBT money for the summer, but get the fuck outta Florida when done spending vacation money. To me, it's still a hostile state. ... but this is good that it happened.

10. He is operating a change of course for 2028.

He ran with the woke strategy and it did not work nationwide. Heck, it even hurt him in Florida.
He has probably decided to try and get reelected as the governor, lay low and return in 2028 with a less extreme approach to try and fool people to vote for him.
