    The core of this nonsense is the conservative frustration that the hurricanes may not hurt the incumbent party. The worst hit areas (Northern Florida, Eastern Georgia, and Western North Carolina) were in the bag for Trump anyway, dashing the hopes of those who were looking for the next Andrew or Katrina. And make no mistake, the damage and suffering visited upon conservative Americans is no concern to the people who think this way. (many of whom have nothing but contempt for rural people in private)
