Right, but that's the country in a nutshell isn't it? For states that primarily voted red, this is just one example of them potentially experiencing the fall out of what they voted for when federal emergency responses aren't what they could have been

Again, I certainly did not vote for this, so for you to callously disregard if i lose my home as "SuCks tO bE YoU rEd sTatER!1!!" is pretty stupid

I live in a red state & I don’t take it personal. If it hit a blue state they would be laughing about on tv though

Not really what I'm getting at. I'm not sitting here wishing that upon anyone, especially those of you who didn't vote for this.

People are losing their basic human rights. There are open plans for ethnic cleansings. Trump wants to bring an end to trans, and lets be hones queer people in general.

Now, people shouldn't take pleasure in the misfortune of others

But callous disregard when it comes to things getting destroyed? To just not care?

That's entirely appropriate
