This isn't "conservative propaganda." Oh, right, it's critical of the government currently in power, so it must be Republican because liberals literally cannot conceptualize anyone being further to the left than the current Democratic party.

It's conservative propaganda because the whole idea that the government isn't helping hurricane victims is being pushed by Trump and his lackeys

It's being pushed because it's effective propaganda, and it's effective propaganda because it's true, the government is underserving disaster victims, it always has, this is a long-running criticism that has been practically unaltered since at least Hurricane Katrina. It has spanned multiple presidential nominations and is truly bipartisan.

Every attempt to increase funding is tanked by Republicans. Stop both siding this when it's categorically false.

The comments are the only place where this is divided. The post itself indicates the American Government, which is currently predominately conservative. I agree with your points, but you're fighting for no reason in a philosophy sub which is lost to memes because it has anti-liberal moderators.
