"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.

The worst part about this is that, in a racist, fascist world, them getting burned by their own hatred is the only downside.

Which means that, from their perspective, there is room for improvement.

Trump fascists are really just billionaire dark government.

But these people genuinely hate and want pain, death, and destruction for other people.

What in the actual fuck, humanity??

Dont blame this on humanity as a whole, when it has always only been a minority doing this

It's a minority doing it, but they couldn't possibly win an election so they spend billions to grift the lower rungs of society.

Without the griftee's the grifters couldn't do what they do, and that's a wrap of US history 🤷

Religion is the biggest con job of all time, and those at the top are wealthy as fuck, most of the rubes believing that shit get nothing out of it except feeling like they picked the right one.

Humanity it seems has some ingrained switch to believe bullshit as long as you think "you're in the in crowd"

MAGA is no different, in fact there is a lot of overlap, because if you can believe a dude walked on water because some 1000x copied and altered book said so, you'll believe pretty much any bullshit modern scheisters will come up with.
