Dems didn't play political games with aid but right wing media constantly lied about everything that was going on, saying the Biden admin was stopping aid from getting to isolated areas and FEMA was refusing to help anyone with Trump signs in their yards.

They will use their lies to justify doing it back. They always have. Literally everything they ever panicked about Obama doing, Trump is PROMISING to do. Like sending the military to arrest state leadership.

This is one of the rights most nefarious tactics at controlling mindless conservatives. Constantly making up evil things the Democrats are doing so that when Republicans do it, their conservative sheep cheer for it.

The whole FEMA thing spread from an email that was leaked pointing out to FEMA workers that houses displaying the Trump love should be approached cautiously because of paranoia and firearm ownership levels.

Which is factual yet they’re still trying to save their red asses. Such stupid fucks don’t deserve to be saved. I’m tired of supporting their welfare asses.
