Conservatives are not structured for crisis management

[Under The Radar]

...the first qualification is a genuine affection for people, then there must be a determined leadership quality to help those people and direct and encourage others to help. Crisis leaders don’t give a shit about the perception of critics, they care about getting the job done, helping those in need just as much when there are no cameras as if there are many.
A conservative, a Trump, a neo-con has only the concern is on how they can personally benefit from a situation.
Yes I am speaking in general terms as there are always exceptions, but it applies to the last two conservative presidents and their congressmen of the same party.

1. naw, selfishness, hyper individualism and social darwinism don't lend themselves crisis management.

[ChicagoRonin]

2. Remember the movie Titanic?

I'm thinking of Kate Winslet's asshole rich fiance.
Putting money in his pocket as the ship is going down and saying, "I make my own luck."

5. Perfect example,

He didn’t help a soul, just saved himself. There must be a common genetic flaw in the DNA of these types.....which would mean that Trump can’t be blamed personally, it is a “condition”

[Bettie]

3. Their entire playbook for Crisis Management

is "look at what Obama did!"...in other words, blame someone else or deflect to another unrelated situation.

I do not get how people vote for these assholes.

4. Or money management. Repukes build up the deficit and Democrats come in and clean up the mess.

Yet, they "Trumpet" it's the Democrats' fault.

7. Yes, they do all seem to struggle with the concept of Honesty

6. Katrina exposed Bush and Coronavirus is exposing tRump.

Unfortunately it takes a crisis for people to understand what many progressives have seen from the beginning.

8. They don't do "help" well at all.

They hate any move towards helping their fellow man. I think deep down inside they really don’t want to help people just like themselves.

They treat every situation in life as a sales opportunity. How can I make money, what’s my leverage, what’s my weakness, can I bribe?, when should I fold?... etc.

9. Yes like Trump who only compliments others

..when there is an advantage for him, but is quick to destroy their character if they simply disagree or perhaps start to gain independent recognition.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. The vast amount of resources needed in a timely manner to effectively address crises

can realistically only be mobilized by government, which Republicans and conservatives are always busy reducing or hollowing out. I don't even think that we've ever seen such a hollowed out government as the one Trump is currently running. Certainly just about all Administrations have tried to trim and make government a little leaner and more efficient but nothing on the scale of what Trump has done with the current Federal Government, mostly as a result of not filling positions, people leaving because Trump is too difficult to work with and not replacing them, and the recent loyalty purges (which I certainly hope have at least been put on hold or halted indefinitely)

15. They want to break it all

and position themselves to reap the spoils.

11. They also look to their stupid ideology when confronted with a problem.

If they can't find anything, they simply substitute 'tax cut' as a 'remedy'.

12. " not structured for crisis management"

They screw things up, loose the election and get kicked out of office and wait for the Democrats to fix it.. When they get re elected again they screw it up.. uffda

13. Republicans only know how to bomb the hell out of someone or something.

And bitch, piss, and moan about everything else.

14. Only if there is oil or gas involved and they are getting a cut.
