• Hahah, yeah. Fuck those people. Let them suffer. Why should my hard-earned tax money go to helping people I don’t like? I’m not trying to victim blame or anything, I just think it’s their fault and they deserve to burn for it.

      (If people need help, you help them. You don’t put conditions on it so that you can rescind help just to make a point.)

        But we’re not letting them suffer. Their governor and their state legislature is.

        These states are ignoring all evidence that their state will be drastically changed due to global warming. The states are the ones holding their people hostage, not the federal government.

        The Federal highway commission has held back road funds for states that refused to adopt various safety laws.

        Why should FEMA be any different?

          Why are you advocating for letting people in states with heavy amounts of voter suppression just die when disasters happen and they don’t have the means to replace the response from the federal government? Like, what do you think is going to happen when resources don’t show up? This isn’t hypothetical, this would kill people. The reason it was bad when Trump did it isn’t because he’s a Republican, it was bad when Trump did it because it’s a hideous, heinous way to respond to human suffering.

        Yeah, why should only few thousand people suffer? We should enable those in power to continue to ignore and actively stifle attempts to mitigate the global existential crisis. If we can’t all be eliminated in solidarity, whats the point anyway?
