I lost even more faith in our citizenry today when I saw some people on Twitter saying that since these people are residents of a red state they shouldn't receive sympathy or federal aid.
I then saw other people clarifying that this was actually a blue area so they should receive more sympathy. Turns my stomach to see this level of polarization even during a natural disaster.
I personally don't care if an area is a blue area or a red area when it comes to feeling sympathy for people who suffer tragedies like this.
It is disgusting to me that so many people have lost sight of what it means to be an American. Too many people don't behave like they are part of one nation under God anymore.
I pray and grieve for ALL of our fellow Americans who have suffered during this horrific tragedy. I hope they receive the help and support that they need in this time of need.
The entire southern region of the U.S. is a part of "Tornado Alley".
You think everyone in AL, AR, GA, FL, LA, MS, NC, SC, TX, TN and OK deserve natural disasters just because they happen to live in a region plagued by natural disasters.
This is one of most heartless takes I have seen here.
just because they happen to live in a region plagued by natural disasters
Yes, of course. Everyone 'deserves' consistency in the way reality functions. A region "plagued by natural disasters" will typically experience natural disasters. Are you objecting to the natural laws of our universe?
These images are extremely heartbreaking.

They're deliberately living in Tornado Alley, and simply getting what they gambled against.
