I've read Dorsey and Hiaasen, too. They write funny, fast-paced dialog. I'll bet Dorsey's wondered what Serge would do with Trump, too. If MF45 were not alive, I'd bet Dorsey would fictionalize some rich old fat-butt politician who he'd torture into revealing the whole Russian rouble laundering network MF45's been part of, plus all the tapes. What a book that would be, right? He wouldn't have to worry about lawsuits since no one in 45's circles reads.
Not to argue with your view of Florida, but I've lived here long enough to say that it's not because of Floridians' views of "normal" that Serge can get away with his class warrior vigilantism.
Instead, I gotta say, Florida's full of nutty people who haven't a clue about the Serges of the world; they busily, happily live as undereducated, underinformed voters, crazy racist, pro-Confederate white supremacists. Serge is way too smart for them.
Back in the day I worked as a long distance operator for Ma Bell out of Tallahassee, knew every one-horse town; I also worked high end restaurants and bars through college, met Tallahassee legislators, and I gotta tell you, my exposure to Floridians during those years is why I moved north to go to grad school in Chicago. Florida and the South have a kind of "heart of darkness" side that the rest of the country doesn't have.
In spite of loving Chi for 45 years, I find myself back on the West Coast near Sarasota. For the warm winters. A week ago, Dorsey's latest Serge tour was better than anything on Sarasota's website! 
TMI, I know, but thanks for reading, Serge! I look forward to reading your posts around here.
