You are 100% correct.

Obama and Biden kept trying to get them to upgrade the system. The Republicans in charge, denied the help. trump slashed the funding to the NWS, so the warnings were slow. Local officials purposely withheld those warnings from the public.

Democrats tried to help, and the people kept electing the ones who said, nah.
