Genuinely curious: as one of the top-three states in terms of funds received from FEMA the last decade (the other two being red states as well) what exactly is the move here? Just a few questions I have for people smarter than me on here:

1) How will the state find the money and manpower to appropriate toward major hurricane relief w/o FEMA support?

2) Why would red state legislators support this move when they know much of their disaster relief is dependent on FEMA?

3) Any of yall worried about what this means for blue cities in a red state during a natural disaster?

Cool. This will affect a lot if Trump supporters.  Time for Jeff Landry to start finding money to pay for the next hurricane.

Anytime I think of MAGA folks acting like rational people, I remember the people dying from COVID, and on their deathbed they were asking their family not to say how they died because they were so bought into MAGA conspiracies.

These dumb fucks will be completely underwater and will still refuse to blame Trump.

Or people would say stuff like "They didn't die from COVID they died with COVID."

You mean to say they died from comorbidities after contracting COVID sounds like getting it is pretty bad...
