    Like fuck the death toll, it’s horrendous but regardless of how many people died, these are towns and cities that have literally been scoured off the fucking map. People need help, fuck

      These stories are so sad to me, but also very interesting. A lot of people I think go through life thinking that if something like this happens, the system will work-- insurance will cover the losses, and if nothing else the government has their backs, when nothing could be further from the truth. These are honestly golden radicalization opportunities.

      It’s pretty bleak to see though, when people have to realize they have been thrown to the wolves

        Unfortunately this usually gets them to go right, not left. And support the party that makes their lives worse.
