ASHEVILLE, North Carolina, Jan 24 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he would sign an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally overhauling or eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “FEMA has turned out to be a disaster … I think we recommend that FEMA go away,” he said during a tour of North Carolina to see damage done by Hurricane Helene last year.
HAHA SUCKS TO BE YOU — any red state that needs FEMA money… Florida, Texas, Louisiana, basically any Gulf of MEXICO state. Eat poop and choke.
Okay I feel what you’re saying, but also know that not every person in those states is not a trump loving sycophant.
I live in a blue island in Alabama and this is very disheartening news, most of my family and friends are bluer than blue. So I’d appreciate if everyone on the left didn’t look at red states the exact same way people on the right look at red states.
I feel for you, I promise. But you can leave Alabama at any time. If you want to talk about how you can make that happen, I’d love to help you brainstorm.
It’s not actually that easy to move states. It’s expensive and you’re leaving your entire network behind.
I’m aware. But at this point, they aren’t flipping blue. I get that it’s not something people want to think about, but shit is not going to stop hitting the fan for a long while.
I also think the urgency depends on whether or not a person is in a threatened group. Trans people, for example, need to have been packed and ready on Inauguration Day.
Complain about state being red. Tell blue people to leave, making it even redder. profit???
Tell people to stay and suffer??
So maybe that - and trump can also withhold money from states that don’t kiss his ass. Think of it this way…if people are hit hard by some disaster and the state can only do so much, trump can just say your governor sucks, get rid of him/her and I’ll see that you get money from the fed. Trump puts a favored talibangelical candidate forward, and sees what happens.
He’s already trying this with California, telling them they need to pass restrictive voting laws in exchange for fire aid.
