People are calling for violence against FEMA on TikTok and X, new reports say.

I seriously don't understand why these people aren't immediately tracked down and arrested for terroristic threats. This BS is way beyond any reasonable "free speech" limit.

It's pretty ridiculous that they are saying that FEMA is stealing donation money for themselves when the people they elected are trying as hard as they can to not give FEMA more money. Like, how fucking clueless can you be? And I guarantee the majority of people spreading this shit don't even live in an affected area.

Is it being done equally by voters from both parties??

I tend to doubt it, but either way it's irrelevant - the signal-to-noise ratio on conspiracy theories has gotten absurdly bad, and it's hurting too many people who have nothing to do with it.
