Were all just hairy monkeys “ooging” into the void, friend. I absolutely feel this in my bones, and frankly i do think its a lack of education and other factors contributing to it. Throughout our recent history (lets say about 50 years) education dept budgets have been getting slashed, burned, and changed, especially in the south. I always find it very interesting to see how the attitudes and perspectives of voters have changed throughout the years. Anyone in politics in the 80-90s era never saw natural disasters as a partisan issue, it actually was more of a reason to throw politics aside and help your fellow countrymen. Because we lived in the same country meant we should act UNIFIED against any threat, natural or otherwise. Nowadays it seems to be everyone for themselves, or try to convince a democrat to help so you can stab them in the back in 2 years.
The question remains: Why arent leftists willing to go the extra distance to meet their repu(gnant)blican opposition.
