At any rate, a boycott would be harmful to Florida economic-wise. But it might be harmful to liberals in the long-run. Think about it. If the state was successfully boycotted by minorities living outside Florida, then wouldn’t minorities living in Florida follow suit? And if that would be the case, then Florida would go from being a blue state (keep in mind it was a battleground state in last year’s election) to a red state.
Despite being a blue state last year, Florida is mostly conservative. Governor Rick Scott is Republican, as are the other elected officials. Its state legislature is also dominated by Republicans.
As was the case with Arizona, the calls to boycott Florida will go unanswered by many people. And the Stand Your Ground law will not be revoked in Florida (or in other states where it is intact), despite the Obama Administration’s contempt for the Second Amendment. I would not be surprised that these calls for a boycott of Florida result in it being a red state in 2016 (in spite of any voter fraud).
