That’s the government bloat they didn’t want. Funny how clueless the base is about how the government runs and what services it has provided. The base got too caught up in being racist and anti-climate change to care. I guess they can hunker down with their MAGA gear when the next deadly storm hits.

They don't GAF as long as they can own some Libs...stupidity personified...

They were warned about getting rid of NOAA. I feel sorry for blue people there, but life in Florida is becoming unsustainable due to ocean rise and also hurricanes increasing in strength.

Makes all the sense in the world and is scientifically sound It follows the well known principle Ignorantia est beatitudo Or in the vernacular...

We teach our children that there are consequences to your actions. They voted for Trump, here are the consequences.

Neil, we were raised in the observational method since a child in the early 60's for Nature-all of it including human behaviour. When people deliberatly place blinders on they have cut off all visual access to their flanks. Trump's anti science was obvious during SARS-CoV2. Why any surprise now.

Ignoring blue voters in red States is not only rude, but sends a very clear message that you think our votes don't matter. Do you want us to stop voting? Should we give up, since you think everyone living in the state where we reside votes Republican? Let me remind you we re-elected Rafael Warnock.

They don't care how much they hurt themselves as long as they get to enact cruelty upon others. Plus, those states have a lot of voter suppression, gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, misinformation and other forms of election interference. Wait 'til they find out about FEMA funding.

When MAGA talks about “freedom,” they mean freedom from knowledge.

And no FEMA. Oh darn.

I’m a blue dot in Florida 🥺

It’s what LA and FL voters wanted. No warnings about weather, no bad weather events! Whee! Happy MAGA GOP voters would vote their way all over again, esp. after their next weather disaster arrives, worsened by climate change. If they remain ignorant in too many ways they are happy MAGA 😥

When you make your white skin the most important thing, bad shit happens.

FAFO!

Advertise how being represented by the Republican party for decades has not improved jobs, working conditions, education, healthcare and how life expectancy is lower. But being a sadist is acceptable. Push the truth and have Repubs prove you wrong.

So, yes. THIS is what they wanted.

Knowing anything “in advance” is beyond the cognitive capacity of the MAGA mind. As an amoeba in a petri dish can respond only to external stimuli, a MAGAt only responds after the bus runs them over.

I’m in a red state…always vote blue.

Don't forget ending FEMA! Those states will be on their own!

“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.” The phrase is most famously associated with the song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" by Bob Dylan, where it's used to convey a sense of self-awareness and understanding of the world. Figurative Incompetence & cruelty.

Republicans (especially poor Republicans) constantly vote against their own self interest.

They thought trump was only going to hurt people in Blue states.

Uh, they disavow climate change, vaccines and any other science-based research findings. When these storms hit them, they will believe it was the Dems who changed the weather. The bar is very low.

There’s always FEMA to aid in their recovery after storms, right? Right?

I watched an interview with some Trump supporters, and they said it was no big deal because they get their weather on their phone anyway. They totally did not understand that the source of the data for their weather apps on their phone was the NOAA.

Fuck'm

Equal opportunity destroyer 🧌

NOAA also works hand in hand to accomplish the mission of the FAA and NTSB. They are critical to other orgs.

Trump will use his sharpie to command the Hurricane to hit blue states.

I wonder how many hurricanes are going to form in either the Atlantic or Gulf of America that U.S. citizens will NOT know about at least 3 days in advance of making landfall, with or without NOAA. I'll predict ZERO! You?

Louisiana will be uninhabitable in a few decades. Something the USA government is keeping under wraps.

Inexplicable stupidity.

Well when they are surprised by the next hurricane and FEMA doesn’t show up- maybe they will get it!

If they voted red, they get no fed. 😆

Maybe. They didn't balk when his solution to high amount of positive COVID tests was to "SLOW THE TESTING DOWN, PLEASE."

As one of the blue dots in Floriduh, I can say with certainty that we knew (Project 2025) & most didn't care because, you know, the price of eggs. Oh, and racism.

💙✊💙 This is a huge amount of resources for numerous and varied ways to fight and defend against trump’s regime. 💙✊💙 Brought to you by @drharmony.net linktr.ee/revolution2025

Nah and they still don’t. Drinking Trump flavored kool aid destroys brain 🧠 cells.

They knew in advance but "owning the libs", deporting the brown people that arrived after they did, and just plain old stupidity and hatefulness ruled the day.

It sux to be stupid

Brought it on themselves.

You can't fix STUPID

Sadly, some have to learn the hard way.

But surely, now that there is a Republican government, they will tell the people who control the hurricanes to avoid these red states. It’s simple really.

It's just like infectious diseases and pandemics, if they don't know about it it won't happen 🤣

Very likely residents made the same calculation that some of my family members did. I warned them about the National Weather Service getting dismantled, and I was told: "Oh they won't do that, that would be stupid."

You just can’t fix stupid. Little Mike Johnson should perhaps be more concerned about his home state.

I know a certain president with a Sharpie that can fix that map for ya

Trump’s going to eliminate the FEMA program in his state Florida needs it the most

Too bad.

They don't care as long as they can be racist.

They probably did (to the extent they thought about it at all). But they don't care - as long as they can "own the libs."

dgaf

We’re thinking too hard. They wanted this so we should let them have all of it 😈

Interesting thoughts. Consequences are amazing right? Remember nations that got no aid after disarsters? Yep. Can empoverish generations.

What site should I use to track hurricanes since nhc.noaa is dead?

The trumpers in Florida haven't noticed we are using the European model to track storms, yet. We will be fine. I'm sure nobody will miss FEMA either.

hopefully canadas site helps with warnings weather.gc.ca/hurricane/tr...

they probably think its God's will.

Louisiana here. 👋 Yep. I knew. 😒

This badministration sickens me to the core. No money for dolls or climate research but a fucking trillion dollars for defense??? 🤢🤮

They have been informed that god will spare them.

It's going to be very interesting when hurricanes hit and FEMA refuses to help after the fact. Trump learned nothing from Bush and Hurricane Katrina.

Living in Florida, all I can say is the majority of those who vote here vote only for their own self-interest. They aren’t very smart.

Mississippi voted red as well, and yet we all remember Katrina and Camille. Go figure...

The only thing the people in these states voted for were 4 letters: MAGA. And they will not be intelligent enough to either acquire, or understand the information were they to acquire it, of how this happened. Some will die- and their surviving relatives will likely NEVER know who did it to them.

Blue voter from FL. I knew, and I tried my best to change people's minds and get ppl to vote. I'm always nervous during hurricane season, now I'm just scared. We rely on the info so we can plan accordingly. 😡

They did if they bothered to look up what was project 2025, now rechristened Since MAGA doesn’t fact check their own, I’m sure a lot will be surprised to learn we don’t have accurate weather forecasts anymore Weather must have been a “fraud,” so it’s been Doged

Gotta love Karma.

Conclusion- If there is a God, he or she is likely really pissed off at the red states.

Last I checked T did not approve a disaster declarations from Arkansas, tornadoes, TN for flooding. If more recent knowledge is out there please post

dammit, the Dems have abandoned us & barely campaign here in FL we now have 30 electoral votes! we voted for Obama, & arguably voted for Gore, too our cities are Blue give FL Dems a damn chance

They only cared that trump was hurting Black and Brown ppl

We’re doomed and the governor of Florida is Trump’s “Mini Me”

I feel sorry for the people who live here who didn't vote red

Need Hurricane Fafo and LeopardsAMF stat

Also, no FEMA funds on the horizon either. Time for all those southern coastal areas to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. 😳😐

Oh they knew! I live in SWFL and it’s amazing how selfish and stupid people are in this area. Ian was really bad bc they couldn’t stick to their own evacuation plans and confused everyone. It takes 89 hours to evacuate the islands, we had less than 24. You can’t reason with unreasonable people.

Where were you in the 14th century?

Good luck trying to get a penny now that the dumb fuckers slashed fema

Wonder if this is also why air traffic is dealing with complications other then internal

If they didn't, they should have, so shame on them!

You should stay out of politics, Neil. You would maintain your reputation and credibility.

I am devastated about these cuts and for what it means for those people in the paths of these storms. They did, however, vote for this obscene administration and they were warned what would happen if they did. Unfortunately, they are going to get hit constantly before they learn the lesson

The info was out there for anyone to find. It said selling off the weather service and NOAA. Selling it. So we can lose the money we paid for it, and some rich asshole can buy it for pennys and charge us for weather forecasts, think the fElon and scarlunk

LA and FL would vote for this again if the election were today.

Only the sane ones!

I may go straight to hell, but I really want to see a couple of Cat 5s hit hard down south. These MAGAts are ruining my democratic country and it's fine if this happens to them.

They will all be on Mars. ‘Don’t Look Up’

They knew. The asshats where I live in Florida are too stupid to care.
