Will Republicans Benefit from Ohio’s Train Disaster?

I read somewhere that the train derailment that covered a town in southeast Ohio with toxic smoke could be good for Republicans, but I’m struggling to understand how that could possibly be.

I get that people in the rural parts of the country are not known for their analytical skills, but I would think that anyone who wants to avoid a similar catastrophe in the future would realize that a) preventative measures are not coming about from unregulated activity on the part of for-profit corporations, and that means b) some level of government involvement is required to force corporate entities to adopt certain restrictions that ensure the public safety.

How these concepts jibe with the GOP is beyond me.
