Jim it's never happened that Florida has turned blue? What about Obama in 2012 and 2008? Clinton in 1996? Etc.

Not saying it's never turned blue. It was indeed a swing state. But reliably red since 2016. GOP now dominates statewide politics.

Worst case scenario: Harris wins the popular vote - decisively - but the Electoral College tally puts Trump back in the White House. That could easily trigger George Floyd riots. There may not be enough plywood in major cities to protect the bodegas, nail and hair salons, barbershops and other local businesses - many, perhaps most of which are minority owned. Black grandmothers in LA, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle now have to take a bus or two to get to a pharmacy for their life saving prescriptions. There is no longer a walkable CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens. Deemed uninsurable.

That would play right in to President Trump's hands. We'd have martial law. CVS would be open--at the point of a gun.
