The SS Deference: Florida GOP Adrift in the Storm

In this episode of Firing Lane, we dive into the growing divide within Florida's GOP leadership as Governor Ron DeSantis pushes for decisive action on immigration enforcement, disaster relief, and public safety reforms. While DeSantis calls for bold measures, Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Danny Perez opt for cautious deference, waiting for explicit guidance from President-elect Trump.

We explore the implications of this political inaction through the lens of conservative principles and Nassim Taleb’s framework on fragility and antifragility. By failing to act, Florida’s GOP leaders are creating systemic vulnerabilities that undermine the state’s ability to address immediate crises and build resilience for the future. From delays in disaster relief to weakened local enforcement, the consequences of their timidity are both immediate and long-term.

This episode asks tough questions about leadership, courage, and the future of conservatism. Are Florida’s Republican leaders upholding principles—or abandoning them to play it safe? And what does their inaction say about the state of conservatism in America?

Tune in to hear why waiting for orders isn’t governance—it’s cowardice. This is Firing Lane, where we aim for clarity, courage, and conservatism that endures.
