Fired FEMA Official: Not Helping Trump Voters Was FEMA Policy in North Carolina Too

Avoiding helping Trump supporters was a nationwide policy, according to the woman who was fired for putting it in writing. 

The purpose of doing so, we are told, is that Trump supporters are dangerous to FEMA workers, and therefore should be avoided.

I don't know to what extent the accusation that Trump supporters are any more likely to be hostile to FEMA workers, but if so, I am pretty sure that cause and effect are reversed. Obviously, Trump supporters who suspect that FEMA was doing its best not to help them were right, and since that is the case, they have every reason to be less than friendly to FEMA workers. 

However, I seriously doubt there is much to the accusation in the first place. After all, there are countless videos of people in hurricane-ravaged areas begging for help. No doubt there is some Trump supporter somewhere who was nasty to a FEMA worker after being left to suffer for days, but the claim that this was a trend is...doubtful. 

FEMA is, after all, part of the Department of Homeland Security, and under DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas nothing good has happened, and lots that is evil has. This is the man who controlled the porous border, is the boss of the Secret Service, and who has presided over disasters aplenty.

In a sane world our corporate media would have investigated accusations against FEMA, but we don't live in a sane world. The Pravda media spent weeks mostly ignoring the disaster and defending FEMA with no evidence save FEMA's own propaganda. The media serves the purpose of amplifying the elite's narrative, not getting to the truth. 

Under the Biden administration Republicans have been labeled "domestic extremists," Catholics as potential terrorists, and parents at school board meetings have been classified as threats. So is it any wonder that FEMA would label Republicans threats?

They have treated us like domestic enemies and justified this treatment with the claim we are Nazis, deplorables, White Supremacists, and every other evil classification they can think of. 

This is what Republicans mean by the weaponization of government. Based on what amounts to a social credit system, benefits and punishment are distributed at the will of the people in power. 

This rot runs deep in our system. Over 90% of Washington D.C. votes for Democrats every election for a reason: Democrats control the administrative state--even under Republicans. 

We have to change that, not so we can distribute the goodies to our allies, but to destroy the corruption that makes that possible. It is corrosive.
