Shouldn’t be hard, most people hate republicans who live in cities, it’s the vermin counties you might have trouble with. Basically Ocala and the other deep south racist/supremacist areas of the pan handle.
Just keep hammering them with quotes from Republicans, including Trump, about cutting Social Security, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. Put it up on billboards and other signage in public spaces where social media algorithms can't hide it from potential voters.
I think you're underestimating how much MAGA Republicans are willing to bite their own noses off to spit at minorities.
They will, maybe reluctantly, give up social security, Medicare, any many of the social programs they benefit from if it allows them to hate Mexicans/Cubans/trans people more.
I can't argue about the MAGAts but every other old person in Florida needs to know that a vote for Trump is a vote to cut their own standard of living and life expectancy.
You're talking about people who will straight faced tell a news reporter that we need to end all the welfare in this country...then when the reporter says, "wait, but didn't you say you receive Medicaid and food stamps?" they'll say, "yeah but that's different. I need that. It's the welfare that we need to put an end to!"
Words matter. To these voters, "welfare" is for poors and people from other countries who are just leeching from the system.
"Food stamps" and "Medicare" are for upstanding rural citizens who are just a bit down on their luck.
