Honestly even with the current situation, I'm seeing call for donations and aid to the affected States who have been hit hard this week. But I think to myself, why should I help these people when they are voting for politicians who are literally refusing federal aid, cause they don't want to look like they're accepting Biden's help. Now my poor ass is s donating to people who are refusing aid at the same time. I hate it
That's kind of narrow minded of you, not every person in the south is a trump loving conservative. That's the same kind of thinking they have when wildfires affect California, or pandemics hit cities more than rural areas, you have to be better than them and more open-minded.
Also Asheville, which is now flooded, is one of the most hippy liberal cities in the country.
I confirm that ashville is super hippy. If ypu havent been there then im sorry for your loss
Because despite political bullshit there are good people suffering. And even if you dont see some of them as good they are people and dont deserve the arbitrary harsh treatment only imagined in polarized social media echo chambers.
Is it arbitrary if they voted for the situation they find themselves in politically and financially in the wake of a disaster that would otherwise have been eased by the social programs they abhorred until needed?
So easily radicalized? You cant know the "proper people" are dying to your satisfaction, you asshole. This is what devisive disinformation does to people on social media; you are practically advocating for the death of people that MIGHT be against your political beliefs. Look farther than your computer screen. Be a human being.
Don't donate then?!
