The conservative politicians will do everything they can to make sure the locals suffer as hard as possible so they can use the horrifying footage and stories for a Hail Mary marketing push.

Conservatives will play victim and pretend Dems did this to them. Their dumb bullshit will not work this time. The Dems are ready and will be campaigning with the fucking receipts.

I am truly sad that so many innocent people are being harmed by these conservative-caused climate disasters and the deadly conservative mishandling of them.

Victimhood is their identity. I was reading, just yesterday, about how christians were not persecuted any more than any other non-Roman religion. But we all know the stories of christians being fed to lions. They want the mythology.

I, sadly, call bullshit. The last time the democrats were actually good at pushing back forcefully with campaign messaging was when I was still in diapers. Now add in that democratic points actually need a modicum of thought put into them to accept them, while republican points are like grade school insults and comebacks that just 'sound good,' and I doubt we'll get big gains from republican-precipitated disasters.

Edit: Seriously... think about how many people believed that photo of trump wading through floodwaters. And how many others don't even care about obviously fake images like that, choosing to have the idea that such things are normal and okay.

True. There may not be a peaceful solution to this infestation. The peace agreement between normal people and conservative shitbags has been eroded to nearly nothing at this point.

Of course there isn’t. They lost the Civil War and while y’all shoulda finished the job, they’ve been trying to get back at everyone since. The fact that there are confederate flags flown freely is insane to me, an outsider. Truly the ultimate “cuckolding” — they attempted to murder you en masse, lost, but still parade like they won, without consequence.

Way too much tolerance of the intolerant.

It won't matter to these people how much Democrats fire back with messaging. In their proudly ignorant minds Democrats will always be liars and thieves who kept money from the poor Republican states even if the truth is staring them right in their stupid fucking faces.
