They can move, I did. Packed up my whole life left Florida for a safe blue state. If they choose to stay in the situation, they’re in then maybe they should get some good boots straps and pull themselves up.
No it’s not. If these people don’t learn their lesson, they will continue voting for fascists and authoritarians like Trump.
If I didn’t learn their lesson after Trump’s first term, something like this might be the only thing that teaches them that lesson.
First and foremost, I'm not saying you're wrong, but, essentially pointing and saying "haha, you got what you voted for maga scum!" without any shred of compassion whatsoever reinforces their perception of us and gives them no reason to make better choices in the future. As a social scientist...
According to Josh Hawley, FEMA has been slow walking every single incident since Trump took office. Even red states are getting screwed now, not just California.
Anyone else notice that Trump has not once set his foot in any of the disaster areas that have happened since he took office? It’s almost as if it was all done for show before the election.
This is one of many things that terrifies me. I live in Tornado Alley, and my family was more concerned about that rogue asshole who denied FEMA care on the ground because of Trump signs in yards, than the fact that Trump would deny FEMA for everyone. Leopards and faces and all that...
It's not unfortunate. It's necessary. But 99.99% of Trumpelsthinskin's MAGA-morons will ignore it because they still believe the leopards will never eat their faces, even while the leopards are heading their way with hangry eyes and bloody maws.
No amount of fact-checking, empirical data or logic will ever get through to MAGA. It’s almost as if they care more about the politician than the politics destroying every facet of our country…
Trumpty Dumpty told you he was going to get rid of FEMA and make the states take care of their own emergencies, and you didn't listen or thought that he only meant blue states. You voted for this, suck it up buttercup.
"Well, Brian, how do you feel about your vote now? ... I wish I could snap my fingers and you and your family were made whole but you guys have got to stop voting the way you vote."
Yep! I have zero empathy for anyone who supported Trump after 2016. 2016 I give leeway to people who were duped and turned against him afterward. I will do nothing to help anyone who voted for that piece of crap. No money, not a single bite of food, not even water.
Who is the pedophile TACO making America great for? Won’t help red states with fema needs AND now officially kicked off martial law in LA. We are getting to the point the only option is our 2a rights before he takes those rights away too.
Trump stated on the campaign trail that the states should help themselves. Smart people knew what type of President Trump would be if he got elected again. Trump is a conman, grifter and crook.
Trump got what he wanted and now it's a big ol' "fuck you" to everybody except his rich buddies.
Maybe the guy doesn't deserve his problems but he helped make the bed.
Sorry...not sorry.
He wouldn’t have to do anything if he voted for Kamala Harris. It must be a shock to realize that Trump is purposefully not helping even red states. Brian Lowery probably thought he’d be safe, and that Trump would only deny funding to blue states.
I have extra paper towels to throw at you. Seriously, though. I feel sorry for the destruction you have had thrust upon you and you family. But make no mistake, Trump does NOT give a tinkers damn about that. He likes throwing power around, and citizens like you are collateral damage. VOTE SMARTER!!
In a blue county in a red state. People should have researched Project 2025, the Republican blueprint for the Trump second administration. They let us know that they wanted to abolish FEMA and make states responsible for cleaning up after their own disasters.
Unless they live in one of 12 states, they probably do live in a state where less people voted for Trump. Only 12 states had a higher percentage of Trump voters than Mississippi. You might want to get your facts straight before you make a fool of yourself.
Unfortunately, just like little children, sometimes the only way a MAGA voter can learn is when they suffer the consequences of their vote. It sucks, but I have no pity left for those that want me dead.
FAFO, vote for a criminal who said he'd destroy everything, and he destroys everything as he said, it's not like they weren't foretold and forewarned that choosing him would end in their lives being ruined as much as everyone else's in the US would be...
Did you drop your baby at the bottom of the blues?
Well, everybody's gotta suffer for all the things you choose
You say, I need you sweetie, but I ain't got the nerve
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve
Reality is starting to set in
No matter why a person voted for Trump
They are finding out real quick
He is for himself and not for anyone else
I hope they wised up to the fact that
It is all Republicans that are allowing this to happen
VOTE THEM ALL OUT
"The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance. ... How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!" — Mark Twain
Did he pray??? I feel like prayer is all he needs to rebuild his home. God is everywhere and if you live your life by the book Jesus will fix it. Unless this one of those, “god has a plan for everyone.” In that case figure it out bud.
He's the thing about the MAGA crowd: do they learn from history? No. Do they learn from other people's mistakes? No. They only learn from getting punched in the face, over and over. Their only wakeup call is the taste of their own blood.
The truth is they didn't vote against their best interests. Having Trump pick on perceived enemies was most important. Didn't worry about anything else. Wrongly assumed Trump had their backs, & never thought anything bad would happen. Always believed Trump, & felt safe in 100% supporting him.
Any rational person realizes that there are people who didn’t vote for Trump who suffered damage. This entire discussion is about people who voted for Trump, though.
I admit that I’m cold-hearted at this point .. but we’re stuck, paralyzed .. it will take painful realizations of Tvoters to instigate meaningful change. THEY must turn. Our peaceful protests and attempts to find common ground have been impotent since at least 2020, if not earlier.
I understand that, and I’m not ‘happy’ — rather, I’m neutral at this point. Only a wreckoning (sic) will unstick paralysis .. and there will, must be collateral damage to change thinking & force action .. ‘dialogue’ has been impotent;
but my opinions & thoughts are neither the cause nor solution.
How much sympathy are we supposed to have? I truly feel bad for all of those suffering through natural disasters and Trump's nightmare, but his voters literally asked for this.
They had every opportunity to listen, look, and read and chose to buy into his lies and hate.
NGL, dunking on someone who lost everything because of how he voted won't convert anyone away from MAGA. You have to support them with the things the TACO won't. We're protesting for everyone- we need everyone's help.
Think of it this way: everything MAGA claims as a strength (independence, security, isolationism, christianity, etc) is just a vulnerability to certain contexts (like a tornado, or covid). Want change? Help them when they're vulnerable.
“Brian & most people from Mississippi are finding out that the federal government actually works great” just not “in the hands of Republicans... Everything these people do is designed to make the federal government look inept & inadequate, in the hopes to make private industry look better than FEMA”

"It affects me!!! The cuts are unacceptable"
A tale as old as time, empathy is a skill they never were taught
Sorry my Empathy has been tariffed to death.

Sorry...not sorry.

Without FEMA there’s no FEMA?

Why am I so stupid?

Right after I finish playing my little violin.
