It would be great if more people could look at this as “there but for the grace of God go I” and less as an opportunity to take a fat fucking dump on the unburied corpses of people they know nothing about.
I hope to shit people aren't dunking on the victims - it fucking sucks.
Most people with an axe to grind on this story that I've seen are pissed off about constant climate change denial from GOP politicians and how much worse it's making this situation... or about fucking clowns like Matt Gaetz who voted against continued FEMA funding less than 48 hours before landfall.
I'm quite sad people lost their lives due to a storm that our shitty fucking politics absolutely made more deadly than it had to be - its the same with antivax shit... those fucking clowns in the GOP directly killed hundreds of thousands by making masks and vaccines political.
Literally had someone tell me they loved (exact words) seeing towns in Tennessee flooded out response to my recent microblog memes post 🙃 I also can’t tell you how many snide ass Dems I see saying that they brought it on themselves by living in a red state, like there aren’t people voting Dem there anyway, or like voting Dem is a magic ward to stop climate disaster from affecting you.
Well that person is a fucking asshole. I'm glad they're an asshole voting for Harris but they're still an asshole. I'm sorry you ran into them. I've got liberal family in deep red states and nobody is more fucking pissed off than them.
You're the one in here trying to turn this into a bashing Dems post. You have all this opportunity to focus solely on the victims, and you don't. It makes what you're actually doing quite obvious and pretty gross.
I am from the south and my fucking family is affected by Helene dude. Sorry for not being thrilled when Dems (would you prefer I say libs, even when it’s entirely along party lines?) jerk off about how the stupid southerners deserve to die for voting for Republicans.
It's more, "they know not what they do."
Many are too shortsighted to grasp that their own beliefs fuel their own pain.
Still, I don't blame the grifted as much as I do the grifters.
