Oh they absolutely don't. If I become dictator of America tomorrow, the SEALs that didn't refuse illegal orders would be sent from Moscow to Tel Aviv on day 3. It's possible there are reasons I'm currently polling pretty low in this year's election.

In what nuanced way would voting for Trump change the amount of funding Israel and/or FEMA get?

Mind you, I'm a North Carolinian. FEMA workers are currently being evacuated from the parts of my state that were damaged by the hurricane because armed Republicans are moving around looking for FEMA workers to murder. That's the attitude toward public disaster recovery the grassroots portion of the Republican party is displaying. These are the folks who booed Trump when he said the COVID vaccines work.

If you can't, I can: They have no intention of increasing spending on the American people and every intention of decreasing it. According to the right, hurricanes don't exist; the Democrats are causing them. Their 'solution' isn't to increase aid for those affected by disasters, it's to demonize Democrats. And the more people you can cause to be affected by disasters, the more people you can demonize Democrats to. The Republican party has no plans to govern the United States or improve the lives of any of its people; they only intend to gather power and wealth for their own elite.

The choice Americans face at the polls this November is "I kinda don't care about anybody" and "I actively hate and want to starve to death anyone who isn't in my billionaire BFF club." Seems I'm in the voter apathy party.

If you're a real North Carolinian then you have friends, family, and neighbors who are Republican. You would know better than anyone what information gap and knowledge is being presented to them with local radio and their social circle. Stop spreading misinformation, that damns us all. Instead try to educate and show them the subtle difference in what's being presented to them and the logical fallacy the republican mindset leads to. There are no militia hunting down FEMA

abandoning door-to-door visits, after receiving threats that they could be targeted by a militia, officials said ... a man with an assault rifle who made a comment “about possibly harming” employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency

Authorities got a description of a suspect’s vehicle and license plate and later identified him as William Jacob Parsons, 44, of Bostic. Sheriff’s officials said in a statement that Parsons — who was armed with a handgun and a rifle — was charged with “going armed to the terror of the public,” a misdemeanor. He was released after posting bond. The sheriff’s office said initial reports indicated that a “truckload of militia” was involved in making the threat, but further investigation determined that Parsons acted alone.
