==I didn't have the feeling that it wanted me to "sit in my shame", it legitimately said it on a slide.==
Did you feel shame? If I was told that, and didn't feel shame, not sure I would have dwelled on it so much.
You do you. We make a very high income as well, and my politics have gone in the exact opposite direction as yours over 20 years. Over those 20 years, higher-educated and higher-earning Americans have become far more likely to vote Dem. You are actually swimming against the tide. I watched the affluent area I grew up in (DuPage County) move from bedrock Regan Republican to Democrat over my lifetime.
When Republicans failed to create a replacement for ACA after campaigning on it for ~8 years and 4 elections (2010, 2012, 2014, 2016); I realized they weren't actually interested in governing. DiSantis is the embodiment of that "bluster-over-policy" approach.
== In regards to the current upcoming state elections I am going to be selfish and focus only on what is best for my family for the next 4 years.==
I hope it works out for your family and also the many other families in Florida.
