In my neighborhood, they are more concerned with FEMA confiscating donations and locking them behind a fence.

Sigh. I really need to start screenshotting these conversations sooner before they get removed.

Holy shit i was just arguing over this with a family member in TN, she is convinced that biden and Harris are confiscating material donations and disaster relief from NC to give to migrants. After she sited FEMA as a source I sent her a link to the FEMA rumor response https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor-response But she knows people that know people who are "actually there" even though they have been turned away by FEMA apparently. I might start trying heroin.

“Like I believe anything ending in .gov” was the response I got when I posted that page.

Also, they posted a photo from their daughter who is there of an older guy in camo pants (with built-in knee pads) and a tan shirt, with a gun strapped to his thigh and sunglasses tucked into the collar of his beer-belly filled shirt, in front of a chain linked fence, with a bunch of similarly dressed ~~rednecks~~ “fema workers” in the background organizing “supplies”. 🙄
