People often ask me what’s the difference between blue states and red states. I used to struggle a bit until I hit on the best way to convey my opinion by simply telling the truth. I will admit that it is not fair to woke politicians in blue states because the truth is not available to Democrats. Well, the truth is available to them, but so is suicide. One kills the body, and the other is your political career.
Another major difference between red and blue states is that red states believe in enforcing the law, whereas the woke Democrats in blue states favor the criminals over the victims, especially when they are transgender or illegal aliens. The case in point is the difference between Florida and New York in dealing with college students who have fallen in love with Hamas and terrorism in general and how they deal with them. In New York, for the most part, they allow them to have their way and only use expulsion as a last resort.
At the University of Florida, they have hard-and-fast rules. The administration’s straightforward warning delineated the rules:
Allowable Activities
- Speech
- Expressing viewpoints
- Holding signs in hands
Prohibitive Items and Activities
- no amplified sound
- no demonstrations inside buildings
- No littering
- No camping
- No sleeping
- No unmanned signs
- No blocking egress
- No building structures (chairs, stakes, benches, tables)
- No camping, including tents, sleeping bags, pillows, etc.
- No disruption
- No threats
- No violence
- No weapons
- Any other items and/or activities deemed to be non-compliant with policy and regulations by university officials
- Consequences for Non-Compliance
Individuals found responsible for engaging in prohibited activities shall be trespassed from campus.

- Students will receive a 3 year trespass and suspension.
- Employees will be trespassed and separated from employment.
This direct approach is a departure from the tumultuous scenes observed at other prestigious institutions where pro-Hamas activities have led to significant unrest. Instead of engaging law enforcement or making mass arrests, the university opted to rely on clear communication of its regulations and the consequences of non-compliance.
The Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) chapter at UF has vocally opposed the new rules. On social media, they expressed their outrage, alleging that the new regulations were “draconian” and intended to crush their “Liberation Zone.”

At another university in Florida, Florida State University, a fed-up student assisted in giving Pro-Hamas agitators a must-needed sprinkler shower.
Members of Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society set up an encampment on Landis Green to protest Israel’s justifiable actions against Hamas. Other local organizations, such as The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, the Tallahassee Community Action Committee, and the Tallahassee Dissenters, reportedly joined the protest as well.
But campus police forced them to remove their tents, which were set up for only five minutes on the grassy space predawn due to a university rule that bars camping on university lands, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
“As an educational institution, Florida State University welcomes free inquiry, diverse thought, and rigorous debate,” FSU spokesperson Amy Farnum-Patronis told the outlet. “However, these expressions must comply with university regulation and the law.”
During the protest, the sprinklers unexpectedly turned on while the students protested, leaving them soaking wet. The agitators claimed the university deliberately set them off to discourage their protest.
