"deny blue states disaster relief because we refuse to vote for fascists" has been a mainstream Republican position since before Trump, when Republicans tried to block Hurricane Sandy aid. You probably didn't hear about it because the media likes Republicans and wants them to win elections.
Trump managing to plumb new depths, says would deny California (and California victims) emergency relief aid if Newsom failed to kowtow www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
Former President Trump presented a dystopian image of California as a warning about what would happen to the nation if Kamala Harris is elected president.
He will also withhold federal funding to NY unless they overturn his convictions and financial penalties.
There’s more Republican there than in any other state and most of them, the ones not directly impacted, would agree that California shouldn’t get federal help for “those people.”
Amazing how it's always "Money for blue states is communism, but money for red states is patriotism that puts America first." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
I remember it well! Tea Party decisions brought us here for the most part!
Living in NJ I absolutely heard about it
the wildest part of that position is that, without political consequence, the people trump would be hurting by withholding aid in california is the millions of far right trump lovers in the rural wooded areas
people who study these sorts of scenarios mathematically would say Democrats can either respond tit-for-tat to non-cooperating republicans or else they can just live with blue states having our money stolen. bsky.app/profile/henk...
Yes, but do you even consider the positive effect of tax cut's on our true and rightful masters' bank account balances?
This is who is and who he's always been. AND will always be. Selfish, self-centered, a dick, and just plain nasty.
