(Mods: that auto-suggested title is different from the one on on the page itself, but it’s honestly a better headline in terms of the article’s contents. Let me know if i need to change it.)
On Thursday, Rep. Andy Harris told Newsmax that money for wildfire aid isn’t a priority for Republicans because “we just put more money into FEMA before we left for the Christmas holidays,” and the Maryland Republican claimed that Los Angeles “mishandled the fire department so egregiously that they ought to bear some of the burden for that rebuilding.”
Republicans are me/I people and if it doesn’t happen to me, then I don’t care. Think of all GOP that vote down any disaster aide til it hits their constituents.
Another one version of this I hear is “I don’t need (ealcare/student loan forgiveness/ basic human decency) I alreadyhavr that. What do I get if I do that?”
A functioning society is not appealing to them at all. It’s a party of selfishness.
Hell, they were hiding from disaster aid calls in Florida while there’s a hurricane coming through just so they could try to stick it to Biden.
That was a great one. My inlaws don’t believe a social safety net is nessesary bc they have never needed it, so why would someone else need it
