this comment makes me very angry [View all]

‘America always reacts. It never tries to prevent’

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/07/08/texas-flooding-rv-park-warning-system/84499868007/

Which party wants to take steps to address climate change and who stops them? Which party would like to prevent gun carnage and who stops them? Which party wants to reduce abortions via easy access to birth control and who stops them? Which party pushes for social programs for at-risk youth and who would rather build prisons?

There are SO many examples. It’s not AMERICA who is uninterested in preventative measures, it is the GREEDY OLD PIG PARTY.
