Fucking ingrates don’t deserve someone as compassionate as Biden.
Yes they do. Everyone deserves basic human rights and decency in situations such as these. Floridians are not a homogenous group of fascists, they’re regular working class people like you and me. You’d do well to remember that.
I am referring specifically to the fascists. I couldn’t care less about their suffering. Downvote me to hell if you feel like it.
Aw no in that case fuck them I hope they die
Thank you.
I just lost my home in Brooklyn and was forced to relocate to Orlando because that’s where my family is who could take me in. Do I want to live here? Fuck no! But I do now. I’m gonna get out of here as soon as I can and get back to NYC the first chance I get, but I live here now, and for the foreseeable future. That doesn’t make me any less deserving of help just because of the circumstances, nor anyone else here because of where they chose to live. 
After leaving Reddit and Twitter, I’ve committed myself to a healthier relationship with social media on the fediverse. It’s time to start using empathy and critical thinking instead of emotionality and reactionary thinking. Stay safe out there, and while you’re there, be sure to vote and help your friends and family vote too.
Meatball Ron specifically? Yes. All the other Floridians? No.
I don't think it's fair they get handouts. they chose to live in Florida and now I have to pay for it? it's not fair to the victims of other hurricanes who didn't get help.
Nor everyone has the privilege of choosing where to live. If you do then keep that in mind when writing ignorant comments like these.
Also life isn't fair. Just because victims of other hurricanes didn't get the help that they have the right to doesn't mean we should withhold that same right from others. We should all work to ensure that everyone can get help when they're victims of natural disaster.
The amount of comments like this in this thread gave me a little more faith in humanity.
Because you could say the same thing about tornado alley, the San Andreas fault, the Mississippi flood plain. Insurance will sort this out.
