'No one is coming to save us': residents of towns near toxic train derailment feel forgotten

I think people forget when a disaster happens it could have happened anywhere.

This could have easily happened in a blue area that happens to have train tracks. Granted, if that happened the republicans would be slow at best to offer compassion to the residents unless it fits into a narrative that they could somehow put the blame on Biden.

I'm in a 50-50 area and belong to several local clubs (if you live in PA you know fire halls, VFW, and the American legion). The political views in those places are intriguing at times. Particularly the retired union guys spouting off Fox News talking points while collecting the pensions they got through collective bargaining.

I went door to door during 2008 Obama campaign. I won't do that anymore. Too many stories in 2012 and 2016 of people showing weapons in the area if they didn't like the political persuasion of the person knocking on doors.
