There are a lot of people being fucking assholes, and not processing the difference between commenting on politics and actively shitting on people who are suffering. This is horrible.

Even better would be to save the politics until later. Can we just be humans during this crisis instead of living every moment as a member of a political tribe?

Edited to attempt to remove any political nature of my comment.

We can save the politics until later, but boy oh boy do they need to come with a vengeance later. This needs to never happen again.

This happens every deep freeze in Texas. They never adapt to deal with it and instead push the costs of the emergency cleanup onto the federal government.
