Weren't they chasing FEMA off with guns and stuff? And after that, didn't they vote to gut FEMA? What did they think was going to happen?
Hold up, that was one guy who threatened FEMA, and the majority of NC did not vote for Trump. It's despicable to imply we deserve this.
The majority of the voters voted that way, alas you're seiibg the result play out.
Stay sane !
No they didn't, he just got the most votes of any candidate. Some votes that weren't for Trump weren't for Harris either. The majority of NC voters did not vote for him. On top of that, look at the demographics of the hardest hit areas. Much of it is left leaning.
We're going to see the results play out regardless, but it's pretty low to act like we deserve it.
dunno, when people are repeatedly told they are voting against their interests, but they still vote against their interests, then it is quite difficult to add to the baseline anger about them voting against their interest when their interest does not interest the party they voted for.
You do realize there are many North Carolinians who didn't vote for him, suffered badly from the storm, and are still becoming the target of other peoples' smugness or rage?
Regardless, picking and choosing which people you help or care about based on politics is shitty and makes you no better than the current administration.
Bro, did you check where the bar went? Not storming the capitol is sufficient to be objectively better than the current admin.
Seems like he got the majority though.
Wiki
Yeah over 50% of turnout. Maybe OP was trying to claim non-voters?
At any rate, they deserve the same federal help anyone who’s getting fucked by climate change, even if:
