Trump 'bait and switched' NC voters who are now lashing out: 'He knew what he was doing'

[meow2u3]

President Donald Trump ‘bait and switched' North Carolina voters on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) aid they received, and some Hurricane Helene survivors are angry at his recent moves, according to a Politico special report.

During the campaign, Trump made several claims about why the people affected by the extreme flooding were not receiving aid. He claimed that “the Biden administration was diverting FEMA assistance from North Carolina to house illegal immigrants.” He also said, “$1 billion of FEMA spending was ‘stolen’ for migrants.”

Most notably on the campaign trail, Trump said, “all FEMA had to offer people in North Carolina was $750.” Politico said these claims were “misinformation,” “baseless,” and “not true.”

Once he became President, Trump said, “I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away.”

1. Is it wrong of me to want to point, laugh, and say "Suckers!" ?

[Permanut]

22. Yes it is..

I'll join you.

[sheshe2]

2. They believed what they wanted to believe.

FAFO.

The end.

[Hugin]

5. It's the incessant whining of the professional victims that's getting to me.

It's starting to put the Face Eating Leopards off of their favorite chow, too.

[Hugin]

3. They were warned... Constantly.

FAFO.

But, y'know, hate won.

[peggysue2]

4. North Carolina becoming Woke?

Just wait as the summer hurricane and tornado season is in full swing and tens of thousands of Americans are left to fend for themselves.

I predict more people waking up to the Grand Con Agent Orange gladly perpetrated on his supporters.

Why?

Because he wanted to save his own ass from legal jeopardy and pull off the biggest heist in American history.

And oh yeah, because he's a soulless individual caring only for himself.

11. Ever Been To Asheville?

Asheville - and Buncombe County - are a bastion of wokeness in the middle of solid red WNC. It's kind of like Portland, Sedona, and 1960s San Francisco with mountains. In 2024, Buncombe County was blue. The rest of WNC was red.

Disclaimer: I have many friends in the Asheville area, and was considering moving there before Helene. Fortunately, we didn't.

19. We considered moving to Ashville

but saw that the area was being built up with gated communities and lots of strip malls.
It is beautiful countryside though. Those mountain views!!!!

[Cha]

27. I lived there with my young family in the 70s..

It was so beautiful and peaceful.

My sister lives there now but is planning on moving to Connecticut when her granddaughter graduates from High Schoell next year.

Too "Red" for her

[yardwork]

29. Most of Asheville is nothing like that.

There are gated communities around Asheville, but the city itself is charming.

[Mossfern]

30. Yes it is

and we considered buying a fixer-upper in town - lots of craftsman style homes.
I was just afraid that the area would eventually become like New Jersey.

So many people were retiring to the area.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

6. .

[Autumn]

7. They knew what they were voting for. I don't care.

[hatrack]

8. Hmmm . . .

[BoRaGard]

9. "Ha ha. NC suckers and losers." - Krasnov (R-Felon/Rapist) and G.O.P. Kronies

republicons eventually make suckers out of everyone - very demonic.

[Torchlight]

10. They knew. Anyone who voted for him knew.

The only thing they didn't know was that they too, are disposable after relevance.

[gopiscrap]

12. tough shit mother fuckers you voted for him because

either:

you're a racist, exisr, homophobic pig
you're dummer than shit
you didn't pay attention
you wanted to "own" the libs
or you're a very wealthy greedy self centered asshole

[Codifer]

18. All the above

[Emile]

28. Or they enjoy shooting their foot to entertain the wealthy

[gopiscrap]

31. exactly

[Emile]

13. He got his free jet and they got the shaft.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. And they are

predicting a worse than normal hurricane season for the months ahead.....

He already shut down Governor Huck a Pig of all people, for disaster help for her state...... I guess she out grew her usefulness and is shocked that he threw her under the bus after all her years of daily allegiance to Him......

[IronLionZion]

15. Make NC blue again

they voted for Obama in 2008 so it is possible.

[Katinfl]

24. Just moved back here from 20 years in FL.

Two more Dem votes for NC.

[NoMoreRepugs]

16. The problem with turning NC blue is elections might be a memory.

At the rate VonSchitzInPants is accumulating control over almost every facet of government it seems inevitable to me he will declare martial law and stop elections.

[mdbl]

17. Chumps!

[Cha]

20. Anyone who Believed that Barking Propaganda

Machine and is now mad.. Not only hurt themselves But Everyone Who Knew Mump is GD LIAR who works for Putin!

[Clouds Passing]

21. Leopards will be coming for their faces shortly.

[Traildogbob]

23. We are not all stupid.

NC is the worst gerrymandered state in MurKKKa. As blue as Asheville is, GQP slit it up so bad that it is the district that dumped Meadows and Cawthorn on the nation. And Preacher Mark Robinson, “some people just need killed” was GQP’s pick for Gov, fully supported by Trump.
But yes, we had Hillbilly Taliban running around in MurKKKan Pick ups threatening to hunt down and kill FEMA. After their single wides on the creeks got disappeared. Still ain’t found em, but newer models are right back on those creeks. With FEMA cash to put em back in the same spot. God be Blessin em. Till the next flood. Ya probably don’t wanna know how many Plot Hounds, Bear dogs, that were “chained” outside near the creeks with a 50 gallon oil drum as shelter got disappeared in the raging water.

[Karasu]

25. EVERYONE should be going after them for gutting FEMA when weather-related disasters are only getting worse thanks

to climate change...and occurring much more frequently as well.

Unfortunately, that requires scientific literacy, something much of this country doesn't have.

When a hurricane destroys your fucking house, you're going to be lucky to get a worthless $750 if these fascist loons get their way. They would sooner get rid of FEMA entirely.

[young_at_heart]

26. Everyone in my family lives in Asheville

and we all voted for Kamala and we worked for her with the Asheville Democratic committees........put in lots of time! We all suffered on election night. We couldn't believe that she lost. How was that possible? Lots of very sad people here that night. Somehow, the 'Bait and switch' seemed to apply to us in the craziest way and we felt that we had been "had" as we had to take down all the lovely decorations.

[Hassler]

32. And so did those of us smart enough to

Vote for Kamala. Too bad you didn't listen to us when you had the chance. Now piss off, gullible morons.
