The Republican mind set is a conservative self centered one. Only ever look after yourself. Bad things only happen to other people, until they happen to you then blame those other people did allowing those bad things to happen.
@justanothername Conservatism is not a self centered philosophy. It is individualism, freedom, the rule of law, the Constitution. In other words, MOST OF AMERICA.
Liberalism is the most self centered state of mind. It is the opposite of individualism. It is Nazi collectivism for the 21st Century.

Disaster readiness, prevention and assistance are government programs mostly championed by the left. To states like Texas government programs are bad....until people start dying. Then it's Biden's or Obama's fault.
Texans are always in a state of denial, which is why they repeatedly say, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to you!", which actually means it's your problem, not our's.
Like they all say in Texas, "Our thoughts and prayers are with you!", which translated to English means, "You're on your own and there's fukkall anyone else intends to do about your problem, so deal with it!".
@Dino11 The convicted felon and sexual assaulter....pal of Epstein....and traitor to the United States of America, when he stood before us and the world in Helsinki and sided with Putin against our allies and Intel agencies.....the guy who called Putin 'a genius' for his invasion of Ukraine.....the guy who had Russians visit him in the WH, while no free press was allowed and no records of the meeting were kept.
