But we're not talking about MAGA as a group, we're talking about people, without any regard for their political affiliation: Natural disasters aren't checking people's voter registration.
Only about 39% of active Florida voters are registered Republican (sure, some are NPA and vote Republican), but there's at least 29% of us who are registered Democrat and voting in every local and federal election, but here we are anyway.
Yes and those people have my unconditional sympathy. It's not like I'm doing anything to make their lives worse or withholding aid. I'm just taking a moment to enjoy bad things happening to bad people for once and in a fisrly ironic way. It's a minor indulgence that doesn't hurt anyone.
If people with nothing but the clothes on their backs can leave places in Central and South America to make the dangerous journey to the US to try to make a better life for their family, people like you can get the fuck out of Florida before it's too late and you've got brown shirts and border crossing checkpoints.
I honestly wish this was a joke or an exaggeration, and I hate the "just move somewhere else" people... But there comes a point where you just have to do what's best for your safety and get the fuck out while you still have freedom of movement. Maybe I'm a pussy.
