Republicans sound eager to deny fire aid to Los Angeles
As wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles, conservatives such as Charlie Kirk have gone on the record to suggest that Trump and the GOP should withhold federal aid to California.
(Mods: that auto-suggested title is different from the one on on the page itself, but it's honestly a better headline in terms of the article's contents. Let me know if i need to change it.)
On Thursday, Rep. Andy Harris told Newsmax that money for wildfire aid isn’t a priority for Republicans because “we just put more money into FEMA before we left for the Christmas holidays,” and the Maryland Republican claimed that Los Angeles “mishandled the fire department so egregiously that they ought to bear some of the burden for that rebuilding.”

We're Republicans, we don't help ppl!!
Republicans are me/I people and if it doesn't happen to me, then I don't care. Think of all GOP that vote down any disaster aide til it hits their constituents.
Another one version of this I hear is "I don't need (ealcare/student loan forgiveness/ basic human decency) I alreadyhavr that. What do I get if I do that?"
A functioning society is not appealing to them at all. It's a party of selfishness.
Hell, they were hiding from disaster aid calls in Florida while there's a hurricane coming through just so they could try to stick it to Biden.
That was a great one. My inlaws don't believe a social safety net is nessesary bc they have never needed it, so why would someone else need it
They help rich people.
They don't even help rich people at this point:
Well unfortunately he lives in a blue state in a blue county so... sol
Well of course he does: He's not one of the poors.
Destroying a rich person's planet while giving them more of something they don't have a use for isn't helping them.
