"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.
Yet, he will likely never look back to his actions. He'll just turn out his pockets, throw his hands up and say "I don't know what happened! No one warned me about this repeatedly."
"We're on a very long, slow path to self-destruction," he says. "Every day that this training is unavailable to the locals is one day closer to a disaster they can't handle or won't know how to handle."
He got to this kernel of truth. He's almost there! If only he could just make the connection and apply it to the big picture.
If only he could just make the connection and apply it to the big picture.
Narrator: He couldn't.
People are dumb. More news at 11.
Davis is a dumdum
The worst part about this is that, in a racist, fascist world, them getting burned by their own hatred is the only downside.
Which means that, from their perspective, there is room for improvement.
Trump fascists are really just billionaire dark government.
But these people genuinely hate and want pain, death, and destruction for other people.
What in the actual fuck, humanity??
Dont blame this on humanity as a whole, when it has always only been a minority doing this
Honestly? I'm not sure anymore.
Either way, do you think it's a gene? Or like a full-on phenotype? Or something else, like lead poisoning or just general cognitive impairment?
I think of conservatism as behaving kind of like an immune system. People who are conservative tend to be overly concerned with things like purity and group cohesion, and react negatively to anything unfamiliar unless you hold their hand and show them it's ok. Sometimes this is a good thing for a society at large -helps maintain vigilance against external threats- but other times you get full-blown immune disorders, where the immune system can no longer distinguish an appropriate response from an excessive one, or a dangerous agent from a benign one, or starts to attack its own body.
Decades of listening to hate radio and Fox News has taught them "government bad" despite the fact that they depend on it.
Teaching people to bite the hand that feeds them is a cool trick.
Schadenfreude is a shit consolation prize.
I mean, I'll take it, but it's still shit.

Dont all americans?
Not all. I'm the fat fuck in my group of friends. Most of the rest are in really good shape for our age bracket.
