The Trump administration's negligence and cuts to screwworm monitoring programs have led to a dangerous outbreak affecting the US cattle industry. Despite attempts to blame Biden, it's clear that Trump's policies are to blame. How will this crisis impact the already struggling cattle producers? #SaveOurCattle #BlameTrumpNotBiden
one could argue that the ‘screwworm’ has been alive and well inside the u.s. for going on 80 years, spotted in various places over the last decade, including washington d.c. and south florida’s atlantic coast.
In those times were the government actively defunding the program and many many others whilst doing blatant corruption such as awarding themselves millions of dollars by leveraging courts? All whilst screaming “rigged elections”?
If not, then why the fuck you stepping in for Trump. You know, just let the bad news for him be bad news. You don’t gotta stand up and be like “Don’t worry MAGA dumbies and people who worry a lot - this happens all the time. What Trump is doing here has happened before and we pulled through” - which is the effect of your comment, whether intended or not.
So now some conservative news junkie monitoring Lemmy will go to r/conservative having written an article “top ten times screw worm made it this far” and no one will care about the issue or why it’s happening THIS TIME. You don’t devil’s advocate when it’s normalizing a bad faith actor. Save it for people who deserve it.
Both of these cases happened abroad and travelled to the US, where it was identified and treated. The cases happening in Texas are actually spreading locally. There’s a huge difference between these situations

I think the comment was trying to be a dis about the GOP being the screwworms.
and one raging lunatic in particular.
Maryland case - Maryland Confirms 1st Human Case of Flesh-Eating Screwworm in US.
More recent Florida case - One case of New World Screwworm in Florida detected last week
Both of these cases happened abroad and travelled to the US, where it was identified and treated. The cases happening in Texas are actually spreading locally. There’s a huge difference between these situations
