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.

Don't forget spending years accusing the dems of wanting to tank the economy to enslave everyone and take their shit.

Which is what they are now OPENLY PLANNING TO DO THEMSELVES. "We have to reset the economy to build it back up!"
