13 dead. 23 kids missing. Washed away in Texas' latest climate-fueled nightmare. And here come the MAGA mouthbreathers howling for help from the very government they spent years tearing down. You defunded FEMA, mocked climate science, slashed emergency budgets, and cheered while right-wing hacks gutted infrastructure. Now you're knee-deep in your own failure, screaming for rescue like helpless babies with your red hats soaking wet. You wanted

I love this so much! This is not crowing over awful loss of these children, but more a statement of the obvious. Actions (voting) have consequences. That the consequences are mostly unintended does not mitigate this disaster. It's always the innocents who pay the price for political wrong-headedness

If the left becomes as inhumane as the right we've lost everything. Then again a significant portion of the Democratic coalition has been ignoring the genocide in Gaza so this lack of empathy isn't that surprising.

Discussing gun control after massacres, or climate change after floods? Of course we should. I'm talking about the ghouls saying that drowned children and grieving parents "had it coming" b/c they voted for Trump. No one "deserves" to lose a child, no child should be punished for parents' choices.

Exactly- is the great old deflection technique mastered by the GOP/republican/conservative/MAGA! This has nothing to do w/those poor children, you’re right! Applies to the decisions of those that voted for the imbecile in Oval Office & the clown staff to include Repugs in Congress! They did this!!

They are dead as a consequence of people voting for a government that withdrew services that would have warned of flooding and services that would have given aid. They are the innocent victims of poor choices.

If only rural residents and working class urbanites responded to logic and governmental responsibility logic might prevail. They don't. They respond to religion, unwanted social change, and PR bought by cash flush plutocrats. We need to develop a strategy to eliminate money in politics.

How is mocking a tragedy a political point? Children died, families are mourning. Its not fighting the system to mock people in the worst of times. I'm tired of seeing the "I told you so's" when everyone is suffering

How is it mocking? When children behave badly, we ask them to sit and think about what they did, and the consequences of their actions. Why is this any different? It doesn't stop these fools from being helped. They've been left to God and good neighbours by Trump.

It hasn’t, tho. This administration consistently refuses aid to Blue states facing natural disasters, and its core voter base celebrates that refusal. It’s tiring always being the bigger person, especially when the electorate shows no interest in rewarding that. What goes around…

To be the bigger person may mean not remarking at all. I find it hypocritical to chastise people for mocking a tragedy that involves innocents by doing the same. I think I'm done with Bluesky and all social media. It's a cancer
