Floridians can take care of their own? Oh, good, so he won’t be asking Washington for any of that big government disaster relief funds.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Desantis is going to hit you with so many rights you'll be begging for a left!
Please 
I have an elderly co-worker who talks like this and I try to get stationed as far away from her as possible.
No more half measures, Walter.
gonna do a purge florida style
So rich white people and trump supporters executing random homeless and black people for sport, as well as anyone who dares harbor them? That pretty much summarizes the first couple movies iirc
Yeah pretty much. The First Purge, which is several movies in, probably has the clearest depiction of the politics of the series. The fascists take over and announce a test Purge in one area. Most people just do a little looting and have a street party so the fascists ship in a bunch of Nazi mercenaries to bring the desired kill the poor energy.
So The Purge started as an astroturfed pogrom? That’s fucking brutal.
The politics of the Purge franchise are surprisingly good for the Amerikkkan horror schlock it is. The Purge: Election Year follows an Elizabeth Warren type running on a Purging Is Bad Actually platform against the fascist leader, a Christian minister. Over the course of the movie she realizes voting isn't enough and after being saved by a black street gang, the heroes bust into the Christian church which is the fascist headquarters and shoot most of the fascist leaders. She wins the election but that just makes the Purger hogs start insurrectioning all over the place.
Hey a new stupid community to block :)
You were posting about this comm 8 days ago why are you pretending like you just discovered it
This turd floated up in my "All" feed...
No way, I was just about to say the same thing about you!
This turd?
I know you think this is 
but we enjoy a good 
so like you commenting in here all "lmao i'll trigger the tankies" 
is just giving us what we want, a good joke to laugh at 
What do you find objectionable about disdain over the prioritization of property over survival in an emergency situation like a hurricane?
Stop right there. Pay your fine or I haul you away.
i think this one wants to pay with their blood 
Are you defensive of the meatball?
You know you can just block comms, right? You don't have to go around announcing it like a fucking dork.
How much time do you spend jerking off while fantasizing about shooting "looters"
JUST LIKE IN THE ZOMBIERINO TREATS 
Surely they can tolerate a little looting. Say you really just need a little something to survive, and you only take what you need and you clean up the glass and leave an IOU?
Fuck the IOU. Small business tyrants will take out their rage over every stolen item on the one person who left an IOU and get them kidnapped and imprisoned by pigs after everything’s over.
It might work for small family businesses (actual small ones, not part of a local fiefdom) if there were a system in place with the understanding that the community would help rebuild businesses and make people whole after everything was done, but everyone would have to stick with it and trust it, including the business owners. That’s a hard sell and there aren’t many cities or towns in the US where it’s even worth trying anymore.
The fearmongering and racist propaganda for Katrina was so bad that when volunteers showed up to help, they’d been prepping to help dispose of mass graves’ worth of bodies and were baffled about the lack of dead people and the lack of gang violence. The “looters” were often people going out scouting to bring supplies back the improvised disaster relief centers that the citizens had set up in lieu of any government assistance being sent.
And Reddit refugees on Lemmy say that AP is neutral and unbiased lmao.
i take all my PTO during hurricane season so I can go city to city looting. They'll never catch me too because I'm from out of state. Hopping on a plane (roads are usually too fucked up after hurricanes) and making my way to a disaster zone to take Pop Pop's miniature train set really gets my blood going.
