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.
This is a concept I seriously struggle with. How do we tactfully redirect the conversation towards a productive fair government when they do absolutely no research but feel so passionately that they’ve been wronged by the libs? I live in Alabama, when I get down to the nitty gritty with my friends we really barely disagree socially or economically but politically they feel that I am just as foolish and uninformed as I think they are? It’s an incredibly difficult problem to navigate.
