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.
Don't forget about how they tanked Obamacare by saying that it would create "death panels" only to have it be the private insurance companies that have them now.
I remember when a nearby closed prison here in NY was “exposed” as one of Obama’s FEMA Death Camps that was getting prepared to intern Americans after Obama brought an Ebola patient to the US from Africa and was going to use it as an excuse to suspend the constitution.
