First chance they get, they'll vote for it again.

Yeah, it only upsets them when they have to experience the downsides. Everyone else can suffer all of the downsides in the world.

Aka, "Rules for thee, but not for me"

"I know President Trump said that 'America First, we're gonna help our American folks first,' but we haven't seen the federal folks down here,"

I think they're finally understanding the "message". It's the same with "All Lives Matter" or "Blue Lives Matter" ... these are just counter-protest arguments that sound reasonable to people that aren't paying attention. America First is about the rich folks paying less taxes and cutting services for you.

Although, I doubt they really get it. Their next elections will be like, "I just can't vote Democrat/Third-Party."

That person isn't understanding shit. If the election were tomorrow he would vote for Trump again . Defunding fema was literally in their platform. This guy is just a moron and his current misfortune hasn't changed that.

Former acting FEMA administrator Cameron Hamilton was fired after he publicly disagreed with Trump on his desire to shut down the agency, and a recent internal presentation determined that FEMA was "not ready" to assist with the upcoming 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which officially begins on June 1.

They weren't ready for the tornadoes that just happened but their not ready for more too...

Smaller government is what you wanted, right? Well, that means no federal aid for you then.

Mississippi is a beautiful looking place, it will be nice when the fucking idiots that live there are finished tying their own rope

These people would literally suck his dick before they’d vote for someone brown or female or gay.
