North Carolina voted 47.8% for Kamala Harris but if you look in these replies you will see joy and jubilation for their suffering because it’s a red state and therefore everyone is bad

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

I advocate for electoral college elimination but eliminating the electoral college doesn’t fix any root issues a limited congress cause
People need, and rightfully expect, help and mutual aid. It's a tenet that's served the US well. They aren't going to get it.
Maybe this will finally wake some people up? I hardly dare hope.
I am lucky, I live among different mountains, and fjords now.
Stay strong.
Even with the electoral college nonsense, land still doesn't vote.
Explains so so much
47.6% of _voters_ voted for Harris (2.72 million).
That's 35.5% of eligible voters (7.66 million), which is more than 6% higher than the national rate.
None of this has any bearing on ghoulishly enjoying others' misfortunes, what the shit is that?
A lot of folks don't realize how fortunate they are that their state lines have them in a blue state vs a red state.
We all ,working class predominately,are experiencing this fucked up reality brought by those who voted for tWump & GQP Senators /House members.
It's unfair to say every Dem wishes ill to all the red states
This guy is a fucking pot stirrer IMHO
We got a president doing a fine fucking job of that
We need to find common ground ,stick together and work to get out from under the growing oppression that is soon coming to every neighborhood
FEMA was an immediate presence along with state,local &community help.Biden Admin had authorized millions released to all communities affected
tWump Admin cancelled most of that money promised
& trying to claw back what has been distributed
My area predominantly red , a lot of Maga
The cruelty & greed of tWump & his Administration is not lost on people.
There is anger on both sides but we will never defeat these bastards who want to see us at each other throats while they gut the nation for billionaires
You feel better?
Despite being an R+10 state, there wasn't a peep about FAFO or whatever
I sure would like to see the NC GOP face a whole lot more heat over all this.
They're in favor of helping the poor and minorities in an abstract way, so long as they don't have to see or engage with them.
Nor does it account for how gerrymandering completely fucks over the electoral votes in NC.
FUCKIN DESPISE LIBERAL ASSHATS.
Past presidents &administrations looked at the disaster&those affected &how government can assist with help to make people/communities whole again
tWump is petty,punitive &discerning as to who gets help depending upon their politics & love of him.Sick dangerous &depraved
get them all out
Here's a video of Jon talking about the GOP's reaction to the fires. (Even if you don't like him, he brings up good points)

Keeping that in mind, trying to paint everyone in red states as bad and deserving of misery is weak generalization.
They "tsk tsk" while their neighbor's house burns rather than helping and protecting the neighborhood.
These states are massively vote suppressed with open vote rigging and election ratfucking.
Mississippi has the country's single largest black population
it's a defacto a blue state controlled/ruled over by segregationists win neo Jim crow laws
So all the folks that live in red states that didn't vote for Trump deserve to suffer because they live in red states?
Gosh, I hate this fucking bullshit so much.
god
Damn
Then they gleefully refer to "North Carolina" as a singular organism in order to mock/dismiss their perceived enemies. Evil and also very obnoxious!
And it's not even saying that all of them deserve this. It's outright aimed toward those who didn't vote for Harris and pointing out that they have a responsibility in this.
It's weird... I can get "blue collar rednecks" to enthusiastically nod along to a synopsis of th conquest of bread in under 5mins but I can't seem to get liberals to say genocide evil when a dem is in th white house.
This doesn't end till trump is deposed (not impeached or voted out but literally mobbed out of the house) and that doesn't happen till all of us do a lot more suffering. And that suffering must be publicized.
If YOU didn't support him then it's not about you.
I'm shocked at Democrats that think they're so much better because they have the luck of living in the state they live in.
empathy and compassion are only for those who agree with them
blue states are racist as hell, i’m sorry if this is the first you’re hearing of that
not that they should start, but like…these FAFO dorks need only look at PA to understand it could happen to their “blue” state, too. we are all potential victims of absurd redistricting and voter suppression tactics
So, governors need to take note.
If they are not prepared to kiss Trump’s ass, he is going to ignore their requests. Make a plan now, because hurricane season is coming.😬
Frankly, I don't want a single person to suffer from the aftermath of a hurricane, twister, or volcano.
They’re one of the most gerrymandered and disenfranchised states.
It should join North Carolina, Michigan, and other states to sue the US govt for FEMA funds.
(also i love being a queer disabled person from a rural area in a red state (NC specifically, tho i live in Kansas now) because i know im completely disposable to libs because of where i happen to be from)
Red, Blue, all of us, except the very rich who bend the knee to Trump.
These are the same people that love telling people that it's not their fault the rapist felon got elected, so don't blame them.
But they still somehow believe if you have the misfortune of living in a red state, you deserve to be punished.
total divorce from material reality. team sports brain only
No. My home is here. My family is here. My friends are here.
Moving is giving up.
I’m not surrendering it to anyone by moving. My children deserve that much at least.
is that too much to ask?
They used to vote against democratic socialism, scream for it after a disaster, get it, & then AGAIN vote against it.
Now, they can be TRUE to their politics.
Just as all states will suffer, including blue states, everyone in red states will suffer including blue voters. The attitude "you get what you voted for" does not apply to X% voters in red states
Red state disaster-sufferering red voters shd know they fcked themselves royally with their votes, & hopefully their Blue-voting neighbors will exert max pressure & prevail on them to vote smarter next time, to vote Blue for the democratic socialism that they really do want.
Goose, meet gander.
And people called Biden 'Genocide Joe' and accused him of being senile. They also lied about the aid he did send.
I voted for Harris because she also said she wouldn't do this, and was accused of genocide.
I voted for Biden because he didn't do this, the state-based denials are gross, and are grounds to impeach. No one should celebrate this
Voters doesn’t deserve suffering.
I don’t know why this is so hard to understand. Genuinely baffling.
Hope that helps.
As if a sub 3% difference makes one an ally and the other an enemy.
Payback is a bitch.
I lived in North Carolina for a goddamn decade. It's a real mix of a state, with some abominable racism and some astounding kindness and fire for equality. I had coworkers who were *still weeping with joy* when I went back into work the day after Obama was elected.
Especially the red ones considering they often have the most voter suppression.
