FLINT: CLASSIC REPUBLICAN SCANDAL

ANTI -DEMOCRACY
Firing Flint government rendering the voter’s choice of reps moot

CRONY CAPITALISM
GOP Governor handing power over to an “emergency manager” who happens to be a business associate(?)

IDEOLOGY over PEOPLE’s WELL BEING
Switches water supply from Detroit water to Flint River Water-to save money to cut budget, simply instead of finding a way to raise revenue that doesn’t endanger people’s lives.

ANTI - SCIENCE=ANTI REALITY when it is not convenient to their interests
Warnings from experts about the danger of Flint water are willfully ignored

SLOW EMERGENCY RESPONSE
After actually single-handedly creating this crisis, the Governor and Emergency Manager acted like FEMA responding to Katrina. Slow and INCOMPETENT

WANT TO BE FINANCIALLY BAILED OUT WITH FEDERAL MONEY TO COVER THEIR OWN INCOMPETENCE, DESPITE CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING ABOUT FEDERAL MANDATES AND PROGRAMS THEY DONT LIKE

NOW THE GOP IN CONGRESS SAYS NO-so state GOP fucks em, the Feds reject them, and state says “hey, we tried.” Fucking liars.

FIGHT HARD FOR NO ACCOUNTABILITY:
Just like after 9-11, Iraq War lies, Katrina, 2008 Financial Meltdown, Republicans will fight any attempts to hold high officials accountable either legally or otherwise
We will be told that investigating all of this is politicizing a tragedy, and a distraction from the healing of Flint and “looking ahead”

I ALMOST FORGOT: It's fucking racist at it's core...what is more Republican than that?

WITH THE HELP OF THE LAZY SHORT TERM MEMORY MEDIA, THEY HOPE WE FORGET THAT IT WAS ANOTHER HARDCORE REPUBLICAN DISASTER

THIS IS REPUBLICANISM
