    Yeah… I’m sure hurricane victims hate hearing that shit. Or wildfire victims. I could go on and on. It’s almost like if you actually think about any of these stupid ass Republican catch phrases for a minute they’re complete bullshit.

      Well republican-led states literally rejected disaster relief aid from Biden’s government, and then blamed Biden for supposedly not helping. And people in those backwater areas bought it hook line and sinker.

      And then early on in trump’s second term when Texas got rid of early flood warning systems, and a bunch of girl scouts died in a flash flood because they were all camping on a flood plane, nobody batted an eye about the government’s failure.

      (By the way, there was a town in texas that kept their warning systems in place, and they experienced zero deaths from that flood. Golly days).

        Honestly, the lack of measures against disaster is a likely predictor of how well the Neo-Confederate states would do in a 2nd American Civil War.

        That makes me hopeful about the ending of that future history, for rather horrific reasons. 😕
