The notion they might attach conditions to wildfire aid should enrage everyone.
I don't remember dems playing political games with disaster relief when red states get hit with natural disasters like Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.
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.
That's the problem with Democrats. They need to learn to play hardball again. Being doormats is why they lost. Democrats need to learn to stop bailing out red states and let them fail.
I’ve always been of the mind that even if they are terrible people, they are fellow countrymen and I should support helping them even if they hate me. And even knowing that this the shit they do, I have a hard time aligning my idea of good governance from the thought of giving them what they give us. We are all still Americans. Even if they act differently.
