I was deeply disappointed that President Biden’s proactive response to Helene didn’t seem to have an impact in the last election. Unfortunate that trump’s song and dance after the fact got the votes.
We have a Democratic Governor - that's why Trump told FEMA to deny aid. Remember during Covid when he sent supplies to Republican states but not to Democratic ones?
I live in WNC, and I've met Josh Stein several times. He's competent, engaged with citizens, and honorable - the opposite of the clown show in D.C.
People believe the lies of the Republican Party rather than the truth they can see with their own eyes. People will suffer greatly due to politicians caring more for their own agendas and citizens failure to hold them accountable.
I think you are right on comparing Trump and Tillis but I would include other scum into the mix as well. Consider Edwards who rushed to quell rumors online and made a big deal about how FEMA was helping then, when Trump showed up, rushed to stand behind him and smile as Trump told lie, after lie, after lie.
At the end of the day they are all gelded and as Edwards' latest public events make clear, they just don't care about their constituents, only the dear leader.
So hoping you are correct that western NC will finally realize the truth about Trump.
The odds seem little long, however. For one thing, Trump has the assistance of Franklin Graham, heir to Billy Graham’s evangelical nation. For another the people of the Appalachians are descendants of the Scots who were shipped to the wild frontiers of America by the English during the Highland Clearances. The Scots were always fiercely independent and suspicious and the same is true of the people who live where they settled 300 years ago.
Trump has proposed significant tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations, aiming to reduce their taxes by $4.5 trillion. To offset the revenue loss, the administration plans to decrease funding for government services such as Medicaid, SNAP, and Federal Emergency Assistance. This strategy aims to balance the budget but raises concerns regarding its potential impact on low-income families who rely on these services, as well as individuals whose homes have been destroyed through no fault of their own.

It might take some time for those MAGA folks who supported Trump to realize that he doesn't truly care about their interests.
Most won't ever get it.
What a piece of shit. Trump is not a king, even if he imagines himself to be.
You nailed the difference between Trump and Tillis. But we have quickly learned that we can’t trust either of them.

Trump lied constantly on campaign trail, saying Biden refused aid to Western NC, hypocrisy abounds
This is unbelievably cruel. I hope this comes back to bite him in a very big way.
The Republican Party doesn't care about elections anymore because they don't plan for there to be elections anymore.

Guess NC shouldn’t have voted for the lying, grifting, treasonous, adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.
