in WNC in aftermath of Hurricane Helene relief efforts by FEMA so it wouldn't surprise me if FEMA workers were cautioned by some of their superiors to be careful or avoid stepping onto property of folks with Trump signs unless they were sure the property owners were OK with them being there. Trump and Vance and many other MAGAs were quick from the start of the crisis to badmouth FEMA and turn public against them.
