I kinda get the accelerationist-like game plan conservatives are doing here (voting down funding and then blaming the other political side), but it’s just so evil considering that alternative options would actually help people and achieve the same effect.

Vote for relief funding, maybe do some “helping” for press photos to look good, spend some billionaire money that conservatives aren’t lacking for fundraisers then boast about it, calling democrats and current administration ineffective. Same result but it might save lives with the added bonus that nobody can call you out on lying.

Is it really so hard to do some good every once in a while? It really feels like conservatives are allergic to morally good deeds.
