“Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don’t include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town’s identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg’s firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company.”
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It’s not coming back.
The worst part about this is that, in a racist, fascist world, them getting burned by their own hatred is the only downside.
Which means that, from their perspective, there is room for improvement.
Trump fascists are really just billionaire dark government.
But these people genuinely hate and want pain, death, and destruction for other people.
What in the actual fuck, humanity??
Dont blame this on humanity as a whole, when it has always only been a minority doing this
It’s a minority doing it, but they couldn’t possibly win an election so they spend billions to grift the lower rungs of society.
Without the griftee’s the grifters couldn’t do what they do, and that’s a wrap of US history 🤷
Honestly? I’m not sure anymore.
Either way, do you think it’s a gene? Or like a full-on phenotype? Or something else, like lead poisoning or just general cognitive impairment?
I think of conservatism as behaving kind of like an immune system. People who are conservative tend to be overly concerned with things like purity and group cohesion, and react negatively to anything unfamiliar unless you hold their hand and show them it’s ok. Sometimes this is a good thing for a society at large -helps maintain vigilance against external threats- but other times you get full-blown immune disorders, where the immune system can no longer distinguish an appropriate response from an excessive one, or a dangerous agent from a benign one, or starts to attack its own body.
