During the Obama administration, one right-wing conspiracy that was floated around was that FEMA was being used a front for concentration camps which would be the first step in eliminating white people from the US. After Donald took office, the sentiment stuck around that “FEMA BAD!” and it’s become a hard-right talking point ever since.
