Trump tried this with Covid. Because it was his administration he tried to downplay COVID using sheer politics. Told everyone its no big deal, gonna go away soon, it no worse than a flu. He didnt care that this was a deadly virus. Because of his self centered ways hundreds of thousands of people died needlessly.
Flash forward to this Hurricane. Because it is not his administration in power he needs to amplify this and strike fear into people. He wants to blame immigrants and tell people there is no money or help for you. How many more will die believing his lies again? How many will suffer in silence, afraid to ask for help because they heard on Fox that FEMA is confiscating property.
Kamala needs to drive home that Trumps lies arent just weird but deadly.
I am noticing that the media spends 98% of their broadcasts on Trump... MSNBC mostly shows Trump saying questionable things. However, there is very little discussion around what Harris/Walz are doing. For example, I saw a lot of coverage about Trump in GA, standing next to Governor Kemp. I was surprised to find out Harris visited Augusta in the same timeframe, held meetings with local officials, and even served meals to displaced people.
Isn't this part of the problem? I don't need convincing that Trump has issues... that's known. But shouldn't Harris and Walz get some kind of media coverage for what they're doing? As it stands, it seems like they aren't doing anything while Trump and Vance are on barnstorming tours all around the country.
Trump opened the door, now lying is a core value and strategy of the GOP. There is nothing wrong with lying in the furtherance of their political goals, on the contrary it is encouraged. Repeat a lie often enough and you can make them believe it, Hitler's playbook has been adopted wholeheartedly by the Republican party.
All lies in the furtherance of Donald Trump's political fortunes. The man, and his Masters Apprentice JD Vance, are truly evil and poisoning the minds of Americans. Thank god Trump's not as young as JD Vance, but JD Vance is and that's why they need to be soundly defeated at the ballot box.
It makes perfect sense that Trump & minions fabricate stories about FEMA, because FEMA’s helping people during a disaster could reflect positively on Kamala Harris, and peel away voters from Trump. So the whole construct of FEMA as a functional relief agency has to be subverted, weaponized. If all you care about is winning, lies are simply means. Go, Donald, go.
But I heard FEMA was selling gold-painted tennis shoes to enrich Kamala personally, and utterly opportunistically, digital disaster cards for $99 a pop, the most egregious one featuring the Donald himself as the gravest wind-storm to ever make landfall on a democracy or anything factual.
Again, I look for action steps to stave off despair.....Here's what we all can do!
Many people are over-confident that Kamala will win. Polls are inaccurate. In 2016 we were confident Hillary would win, but because 40 million registered Democrats did not vote, Trump won. We cannot be complacent!
We need millions of low-propensity Democrats (a polite term for not motivated to vote), Independents, and undecideds to vote for Kamala. There are also some Republicans who are disgusted with Trump but they don’t want to “become a Democrat” – we need to inform them that voting Blue is in their best interests. WE CANNOT WIN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE WITHOUT MILLIONS OF THEIR VOTES.
Two wonderful organizations - Galvanize Action - https://www.galvanizeaction.org/ - and One For All - https://oneforallcommittee.org/ -- are expert in crafting campaign messages to motivate people to vote Blue. They reach out to moderate women who admire Kamala but are married to Trumpers – giving them a nudge to follow their own common sense and vote for Kamala. Their messages are tried and true - created by veteran campaign experts, social psychologists, and data scientists, and are constantly tested and refined.
Some of our church members were loudly complaining on FB about how FEMA hasn't shown up here in Coffee County Georgia & spreading conspiracies about them. FEMA members came to our first service back this morning and were coordinating with church staff after service about the local relief effort.
Hey guys, thank you so much for addressing this and keeping N.C. in the news!! As a native North Carolinian who lives in the Piedmont now but has a lot of family in the mountains, the devastation is truly beyond my ability to take in, and correcting the misinformation but also just keeping us in the news is so helpful. This recovery will take many years.
That being said I wanted to correct one error you guys made - Asheville was not the place that was hit the worst. Yancey County was hit a lot worse, and other places probably also had it significantly worse than Asheville. My sister lives in Asheville and my mother lives in Yancey County, so I speak based on their direct experience. It is aggravating for people in these more rural areas that people are more focused on Asheville than the surrounding areas. I get it, but still - it’s not accurate.
Everything else you guys said is correct based on what I know. As a rabid anti-Trumper I’ve really appreciated seeing how amazing my fellow North Carolinians are, regardless of their political affiliation. I have never seen such a surge of compassion and such a mobilization of every day people to help each other in my life. Witnessing people’s desire to help, and the creativity with which they’re deploying their resources is so inspiring (mule train anyone?? 😊). It’s so awful, but also humbling and heartwarming.
And yes, help is getting to these rural areas a bit at a time, slowly because of the nature of this disaster, (for example - my mom’s house is inaccessible because the bridge to get to her community washed out, the highway to get to that bridge was washed out by a landslide a mile to the north, and a mile to the south that same highway was washed out for miles - and that’s just how it is up there, her situation is not unique AT ALL) - but everything I’ve seen suggests FEMA and other support agencies are doing a great job in an absolutely impossible situation. All these helpers deserve our praise and gratitude, not to be mischaracterized and demonized!

This is the future if Trump wins.

So much for MAGA caring about fellow Maga supporters. Let them die so we can lie about FEMA.
