@ProPublica Republican voters got what they voted for with less government, but they didn't expect it would be less for them. FEMA has been republican target to abolish, leaving states to pay for their own disasters. They aimed it at California's wildfires, but it's becoming reality for red states with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc.

This may help red state citizens understand that efficient government does actually have a role. I qualified that statement because they haven’t absorbed the economic lessons of the last fifty years…

@ProPublica FEMA doesn't do emergency management anymore. It does concentration camps now.
