    Seems like a reasonable ask if they’re worried for their safety.

    I mean, those chucklefucks voted to eliminate funding for FEMA. Why are they being punished for proactively fulfilling the wishes of the citizenry?

    Interesting that they were terminated, meanwhile, did that sheriff’s deputy get fired? The one that said they won’t help anyone with a Harris sign on their lawn? I didn’t see Harris supporters talking about hunting those working out of a sheriff’s office…

    So sad that we have gotten to this level of us vs them. You see someone who needs your help would you ever even think of asking them who they voted for before helping them

      The article doesn’t mention that Armed Militias were actively hunting FEMA responders in North Carolina after hurricane Helene because of right-wing conspiracy theories. It’s entirely possible that the context was, “avoid people with Trump signs, they might shoot you.”

        I would not knock on the door with a Trump sign or flag, unless it was a dire emergency, for just that reason.

      Now? Yes. I’m tired of the moral high ground.

        Daily reminder that the moral high ground is littered with corpses.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
