Like fuck the death toll, it’s horrendous but regardless of how many people died, these are towns and cities that have literally been scoured off the fucking map. People need help, fuck
These stories are so sad to me, but also very interesting. A lot of people I think go through life thinking that if something like this happens, the system will work-- insurance will cover the losses, and if nothing else the government has their backs, when nothing could be further from the truth. These are honestly golden radicalization opportunities.
It’s pretty bleak to see though, when people have to realize they have been thrown to the wolves
You’re presented with a major failing of government like this and then given two options: One party that expresses anti-government sentiment, and another party that currently presides over the agencies that failed and tells you that everything is fine and to not believe your lying eyes when you ask what they’re going to do about the six feet of water in your basement.
Which way do you think people are going to go, and at what point does it no longer matter that the first option is defunding agencies that don’t accomplish anything? The Democrats cannot blame Republicans for voting against their own best interests when they can’t offer a worthwhile material alternative.

Unfortunately this usually gets them to go right, not left. And support the party that makes their lives worse.
