What happened to us when a tragic event is politicized with such an angry spirit?

COVID landed ashore in early 2020. Trump, throughly unprepared for the pandemic, denied its existence, then attacked the scientists, and politicized the nation’s attempts to mitigate the pandemic— masks, vaccinations, etc. The MAGA crew on this Board hopped aboard. And a dedicated servant, Dr. Fauci, became the scapegoat.

Then we had the George Floyd murder that summer. The same haters asserted that Floyd had it coming, that he died because he didn’t submit. The subsequent Black Lives Matter marches, joined by decent people across the globe, were attacked as “militant criminal gangs” by the same posters. Rather than coming together as a nation, Trump flashed the “law and order” bat signal, flaming the division. “They’re coming for you” became their mantra.

These same posters celebrated teenager Kyle Rittehouse killing two protesters in Wisconsin.

As the 2020 election approached amidst a pandemic, maintaining power at all costs led to attacking mail in voting as fraudulent. Losing the election turned into January 6th, led by Trump’s knowingly false narrative that the election was rigged.

Reasonable Americans, so ashamed of the ugliness that occurred on January 6th, assumed that would be the end of MAGA. But no. We’re sending him back.

So, it comes as no surprise that the same Americans, the same posters, politicize what happened in New Orleans two weeks ago, and what is happening in Los Angeles, with zero compassion or empathy.

They just throw stones, following Trump’s lead, but more fundamentally, because they are shallow people at their core.

State burns. He has his priorities focused on what is important.

Gotta help those folks who suffered cataclysmic loss.
No amount of preparation could have averted this apocalypse.

Yet fingers must be pointed by both sides to determine preparedness and response moving forward.

Truth is Hiba, our disaster preparedness and response in this country is mediocre. It’s a can that federal, state and local
authorities keep kicking down the road.

I pray for the victims and firefighters and other first responders and volunteers.

Just read some excerpts of Zuckerberg talking about how the Bidens were trying to get Facebook to censor admittedly true facts, to keep the people misinformed. Covid was politicized in a pretty evil way. Thought maybe that was what you were talking about.

was some real and understandable outrage from the Right when the liberal Biden adm recently withheld FEMA assistance to conservative hurricane victims (internal emails confirmed that DEI appointments within FEMA were doing widespread discrimination against homes with politically conservative lawn signs because “the agents didn’t feel that they could work in a potentially unsafe environment”.
Now, the area with the highest concentration of those people supporting that liberal Adm are now in need, and being liberals, they can’t see why they wouldn’t be treated differently than they treated others (Liberalism Rule #2).

Still, Jesus calls us to be better than that, so I agree with you that we should not exact an eye for an eye. But that does not affect our knowing that most liberals will still do it again to us when they can, and then claim that it’s “Totally Different” (Rules of Liberalism #8).
Thus, I think its just internet venting.

The last election turned largely on pocketbook issues caused by Dem over-spendng and over-regulating on their own crazy agendas.

This FEELS like more of the same.
