    And Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, the Carolinas, Mississippi, and Alabama. All states which consistently vote republican except for Georgia sometimes though they helped vote in this orange turd.

      Not to mention all the eastern states that get thrashed by the hurricanes when they downgrade to severe tropical storms as they proceed along their path. KY, TN, OH, WV, MO, AR, GA, etc. We get what we vote for. The scale of the disasters have to outmatch the scale of incompetence to turn this around, and I don’t see either of those scales getting smaller.

      Edit: for clarification: most if not all GOP diehards lack the empathy required to see systemic issues and know that we need to act collectively to address them. They must experience it. Even then, many won’t change because of a variety of educational and racist systems.

      No, no, see, it’s cool… the NEW FEMA is all about states rights. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps! Red states love that! It will be great!
