. . . Okay, so Noem destroyed FEMA so the agency cannot respond to past, present, or future disasters.

My church has a group that goes regulalry into the areas of Eastern NC that were devastated by Hurricane Helene -- I think that's the name -- that destroyed mountainous regions there -- swept away bridges, homes, whole small towns.

The guys in my church's team report that the people there are still MAGAts through and through in spite of the fact that Trump has killed FEMA. One member of my church team dropped out because he said he was through busting his ass to repair, rebuild, etc., all the while listening to local people piss and moan about Biden when, in fact, it's Trump to blame. A couple of others are about to quit for the same reason.
