Just read that "Federal emergency management officials approved Gov. Greg Abbott's request to add Collin, Cooke, Denton and Montague counties to the list of more than a dozen Texas counties already approved in the disaster declaration. The declaration allows FEMA to provide funds for temporary housing, emergency home repairs, property losses, disaster legal services and medical and funeral expenses caused by the disaster".
I understand that people need the help, but these are the same people who support and endorse Abbott's power grabs and his diminishing of rights, and probably are the same people who want Texas to secede - but wait, wait, wait, not so fast.....not until they get the federal monies for the disasters first. They just don't get how hypocritical they sound.

I am not a supporter of my governor. I guess that means since I live in Washington state and we have an earthquake I don’t deserve support even if I pay taxes.

You are of the Republican race...racism rules on multiple levels in this world you see.
I abide in Florida and though I do not believe or place faith in politics but many of segmented thoughts will place me in a box and label it Republican race.

I hear that, but I also have family in some of those places that endured those storms..and the after effects (closed roads, disrupted utilities, etc). Most are not even Abbott supporters.
I think they should be helped "despite" the politics. Until further notice, they're still Americans. How far do we take the red vs. blue? There are a lot of people not involved in politics at all just trying to live and raise families.
Abbott tends to create his own karma.
Meanwhile, we have one family member and one friend who's left Texas due to the insanity down there and the current texas admin's inability to actually govern well.

Idk, Redhart, I agree that not everyone in that state supports the governor. However, the governor represents the state of texas and its people (and politics) and that same governor keeps making dissing, snubbing and slamming the United States and its government and passing laws that undermine the rights of so many yet turns around and wants them to help his state. Maybe since Texas governor is so unhappy with being part of the USA, the governor should dig deep into Texas funds and pay for the costs associated with the natural disaster -since he claims he doesn't want the Federal government interfering with his rule. Since the crappy governor is still in office, it means that there are more texans who support him, his views and laws, than those who don't (or do not care to participate in the process of voting). True, other states are not happy with the Federal government as such, and some of them do squawk loudly, but others realize - as the saying goes - to not bite the hand that feeds them.
