None of you should explain anything to five year olds.
Because destroying the public’s trust in democracy is what paves the way for fascism, and that’s way more important to every Republican than the lives of their constituents.
God I hate how every reply in this thread is dark, and grim, but also true.
😔😭😡😔😭😡
Except for yours, yours is bright and colourful
There was really only one comment in here that I think addressed what I believe to be the real issue: propaganda works. Especially when people are ignorant to how government works and have siloed themselves into realities created by their chosen propaganda outlets, refusing to look outside of them or to acknowledge their veracity.
Republicans can deny aid by the Republican speaker of the house not calling an emergency session and then Trump and Fox News can blame Biden for something he has no control over. Something similar is happening with DeSantis. I imagine the recent news about Florida being potentially a toss up state has them a bit worried so they’re pushing whatever angle they can to attack Democrats.
As to why they would do this at all, I think that’s kind of obvious. Power and money. The Republican party have pretty much completed their takeover of the courts and the heritage foundation can institute their psychotic wishlist (project 2025) without resistance. Winning this election means they win indefinitely.

Stealing this.
They did the same thing with the border too.
Please post it widely.
the moment McConnell filibuster his own bill. I knew the GOP had gone full clown show. It’s one’s thing to disagree on policy and be against the people but I stop taking them seriously. When their whole platform is political maneuvering amd being anti Democrat. It’s almost like we’re living in a key and Peele sketch.
C’mon now. Don’t be so absurd.
…Key and Peele were actually funny, snd have charm. The GOP clearly lacks all of that.
How come Florida voters keep electing people who hold up hurricane relief?
Because they are uninformed and have been brainwashed by GOP propaganda. Basically the same reason why people all over the world vote against their own interest.
All those rich pensioners know exactly what they are voting for and fully approve of it. They don’t mind pulling up the ladder behind them.
Their priority is white supremacist hierarchy rather than their neighbors’ lives.
“Democracy is at stake” was not hyperbole. This is what a fascistic takeover looks like.
The republicans are doing their typical thing where they block money from getting to people in need so that they can score political brownie points with smooth brain voters. This is now translating to them harassing FEMA folks that are simply there to provide help.
I live in Florida (bailing ASAP) and I wish nothing but a slow death for DeSantis and his asshole cronies.
You can do literally anything to hurt your constituents when you have a propaganda machine that will convince them it was your opponents who did it.
Because the majority of Americans are fucking stupid and don’t read news but consume propaganda as facts like Republican Larry Craig gobbles cock.
Many of them think that hurricane relief that they use is different than the hurricane relief the republicans oppose. They currently believe that FEMA grounded rescue helicopters from saving people after Helene because of budget constraints, and that their budget is spent on relocating refugees (of course that’s not the term they use) to political battleground states instead. They think that by voting against the relief they are preserving it
Um no offense to you but that makes my head heart trying to fathom that.
Because Rubepublicans are children in suits, mobsters, and Russian Assets cosplaying government officials. If you don’t kiss the ring you dont get a thing.
Many Republicans are sponsored and bribed by fascist powers such as Putin’s Russia. They are under orders to take actions intended to weaken American industry, government, and society. This includes, for instance, sabotaging infrastructure projects, blocking disaster preparedness and relief, and fomenting political violence. The long-range goal is to make America incapable of projecting force to protect its international allies, global trade, etc.; a medium-range goal is to restore a regime broadly supportive of the international fascist movement.
(Just consider: Why does Putin support Trump? Putin doesn’t want to make America great; he wants to make America incapable — especially, incapable of defending Ukraine and, ultimately, other European allies. Putin predicts that Trump/Vance will accomplish that goal.)
Yea but at one point did Putin say he liked Biden?
Can you explain your question? I know the speaker is not planning to bring the house back in session, but what is Desantis doing?
Not returning Phone Calls when Biden and Harris want to do an Ex Order to give them something like 5 billion dollars along with NC and Georgia
Jesús fucking Christ, that’s pure evil.
Ah yes, typical Ronald the fascist clown, playing politics with the lives of his constituents.
Because the Republican party is a party of suffering. They get off to it
Stop being right…
If you’re talking about the florida gov not taking Biden and Harriss’s calls, that won’t hold up aid at all. He has spoken with the head of FEMA, which is what actually starts the ball rolling.
If you’re referring to the GOP voting against FEMA and disaster relief funding bills… fuckifiknow
