Ryan McBeth says to beware the memes that are designed to raise outrage, and here again he is correct.

But OldNFO is also correct: there are horrific stories coming out of NC, and many of them point to a general incompetence of FEMA. It appears that organizations like the Southern Baptist Convention, Samaritan’s Purse, the Cajun Navy, and others are making a positive impact for the victims.

Key point- "Emotions are a major driver of behavior" and EVERY side will use anything they can to spin the narrative in the direction they want it to go. But I will say there are plenty of horror stories coming out of North Carolina that are real, and proven that a lot of folks are 'ignoring'... sigh

My son and all his friends are in NC, so I’m definitely aware. I’ll say this: there’s enough horror that’s real without adding fake horror to score political points.
