Basically:
Die quietly so Dems don't look good for helping
She's legit asking people to martyr themselves over a talking point most republican voters would never hear...
Completely irrelevant... I read it as "moist Republicans" and.. yeah, I prefer it. I want to believe they're mostly moist in a very uncomfortable way.
The ones who need FEMA help are likely pretty uncomfortably moist.
Hey, if it means fewer Republican voters in this country...
If they martyr themselves before voting, I'm good with it.
Serious question:
Why is she telling people to not ask for FEMA?
So, she isn't saying not to ask for disaster assistance per se, she's saying not to comply with FEMA.
Given Loomer's other quite conspiratorial beliefs, my guess is that she believes FEMA will round them up into internment camps and then either use them as slave labor or forcibly reeducate them.
FEMA is one of the conspiratorial right's long existing bogey men. Based off of I think some executive orders signed under both JFK and Reagan, if a extraordinary national disaster or state of emergency is declared, the President has the power to relocate people to FEMA camps.
What this actually is, is basically in the event of the Soviets nuking the entire country to shit, basically martial law is exercised and the President gains a whole bunch of direct control over and exceptional powers to direct many federal agencies toward the aim of keeping as many people alive as possible.
What conspiracy theorists think it is, is that basically arbitrarily at any point the President can use FEMA to round up and 'deal with' any kind of political dissidents. It was most often invoked as the way that gun owners would all be rounded up during some kind of total gun ban.
Also during hurricane Katrina, people getting raped and dying in the superdome, or whatever that stadium was in New Orleans, somehow really fed into the FEMA conspiracies. Though I’m pretty sure FEMA wasn’t even involved in that situation. IIRC It was local authorities, at least initially, that had directed people there without having any plan on how to handle them.
The right project, so probably it's a confession also of their own plans for FEMA
I'd assume the weird "Obama is going to use FEMA to set up concentration camps to round up all his enemies" conspiracy (Possibly updated to Biden, possibly not, they tend to also be the "Obama is using Biden as a secret third term controlling him from the shadows (and Harris will be an even secreter fourth)" type)
The Lib agenda leaked
Step 1: Using evil lib magic, control the weather, like what MTG said
Step 2: round up True Patriots into Concentration camps thanks to FEMA
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit.
there is a whole thing on twitter about FEMA blocking aid, rescue helicopterss and shit. all based on "sources" texts to Loomer, Elon Musk, etc.

Some of the "rumors" addressed on FEMA's site certainly sound dumb as hell.
Thank you friend!
She is a Russian asset meant to harm the US as much as possible, including killing people impacted by climate change
They immediately started out the gate proclaiming that FEMA is doing nothing and letting people just suffer and die.
In order for the facts to fit the narrative, they need people to suffer and die in spite of any effort by FEMA.
Because those tax dollars going to it are not available to be stolen by Republican politicians.
She’s telling the folks who are being issued a stand down warning by FEMA not to comply. There are private entities attempting to render aid and medical flights that are being told to stop by federal crews and she’s telling them not to listen.
Are they being told that because they're causing an overcrowding hazard in the air? I'm willing to bet there's also a lot of individuals randomly flying drones around as well.
Edit: FEMA isn't stopping any rescue flights. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/10/05/interested-parties-memo-fighting-hurricane-helene-falsehoods-with-facts/

They will use any opportunity to use any worn conspiracy to shit on any government body.
This was during covid:
Alex Jones has been freaking out about FEMA since at least the Obama years, including Walmart. They've been reusing old stuff for a long time now. His bird flu, ebola, and covid coverages have been similar over the decades to, always antivax and exaggerated. With Civid, he finally had a leader who did the wrong things to address it so he got to milk it far more.
I was reading the announcement by one of the towns in the area and Facebook responses. They said that power would remain out for who knows how long, that the main streets were destroyed and they barely made somewhat passable dirt roads, municipal water was out and well water should be considered unsafe, and so they strongly encouraged everyone to leave of they could possibly go elsewhere.
Replies from people seemingly actually from the community were basically saying they were sure if they left the federal government would eminent domain their land and they needed to stay to defend their property from those federal people.
They should hope!
If your house is under a foot of mud and the town destroyed, the government buying you out sounds like a win.
In fact, it's a thing we do to prevent rebuilding in flood plains by stubborn people.

If they're that dumb, then they can just stay and die - fewer Republican voters.
Ex?
The news said the Trump org has distanced themselves from her.
Uncertain if it's true or not.
She thinks the people of Appalachia are all a bunch of long-bearded Hatfield vs. McCoy types, doesn't she?
Edit: me brain stupid.
Is she still catching the orange man’s cum in her mouth? I really enjoyed when they were rubbing on each other and making his campaign freak out. Seems like they must have sent her away.
If they follow her advice, it's on them. Stupidity has a price.
Darwin is beatboxing her tweet in his grave
That's easily disproven, any worms would starve due to a lack of substance.
Could be eating other worms?
I thought it was alien ants? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrainDead
The crazy conspiracies and misinformation coming out of this disaster are insane. I hate that people have nothing better to do than to straight up lie about things that can easily be debunked. The problem is that once people believe the lie, it's hard to get them to realize it was a lie.
Don't comply with help. Got it.
What do you have against taking mushrooms?
Thinning the herd. If you are taking advice from this person it was only a matter of time before suffering became inevitable.
Malignant narcissism is an ugly thing.
It's really weird to describe a woman in politics with her sexual relations to other people. Can't think of any man that has been described that way. Smells like misogyny tbh.
Edit: Yikes at the downvotes. Guess I forgot there are mostly ex-reddit people here.
I personally didn't interpret "mushroom gobbler" as a homophobic slur. I thought OP was alluding to the fact that she has about as much lucidity as someone who's high on mushrooms.
I could be wrong though, I'm not American.
Trump's horrible penis has been referred to as "like a weird mushroom" by those in a position to know.
You're right, let's be respectful to the person that disrespects everyone and everything else....
More a long the lines that fucking someone shouldn't be the cause of disrespect unless it's hypocritical. Who gives a shit if she's fucked trump, she's an insane shit bag at best and a literal Russian agent at worst and those are REAL causes of disrespect
Way to miss the point.
Yeah, there's accurate insulting things to call her that aren't put downs about fucking someone. That said, if she was railing against adultery, the hypocrisy would make it fair game to me tbh. This isn't a "don't stoop to their level" thing, it's a "this is just entirely unrelated to everything that makes her a terrible terrible human being" thing
Honestly Lemmy has terrible gender relations, not worse than some of the subreddits though
