They want "total freedom" from the government but then cry and want help from the government which they voted to behave exactly like this. You can't make this shit up. I only feel bad for the children and the people that arent Trumpists

I really don't like how this conversation is about Trump and who voted for who over the loss of 90 innocent souls.

China had even larger flooding which effected even more people at around the same time, and they had much better outcomes. If research could be done on both, and a comparative chart made it could be decent agitprop

You could also add the DPRK's response to their own flooding as well as part of the comparison.
