Send them the hardware that they need and a bunch of 45 gallon drums of fuel and Bubba and his fellow rednecks will have things cleared out in a week.

Do you have evidence to the contrary??  It's not rocket science... Don't send electric chainsaws to a devastated area like that... These are electric chainsaws.... electric no other source... like battery or solar.... Wind would have been better a week before.

Stop looking for context... I think @RonL put it best... The Democrats don't
want the rural Republican areas to be able to vote.

The context, if needed, its an election season. Hurricanes are COVID 2.0.

Politics sucks at time... Having said that, I wonder why Kamala isn't doing better.
