I stood in a line today waiting to order fish and chips from a food truck in a parking lot at the local Office Depot. Two older ladies behind me discussed the hazy skies we're seeing from California wildfires.
Here's what we're up against.

They agreed the massive fires were due to politics.
People in California stupidly want keep things "natural." They should clear the brush out there that causes wildfires. It's not because of global warming. It's because their politics doesn't let them clear brush.

I stopped listening then.
Put aside that "wanting to keep it natural" couldn't cause this. Since "brush" is natural, it's been there tens of thousands of years. Brush volume hasn't changed. It couldn't suddenly cause unprecedentedly massive fires now.
But forget that.

Even forget that the West Coast is experiencing record heat and drought, which certainly does lead to more fires, and worse ones. That seems a more likely cause than having not changed the brush volume.
Put that aside.

Even ignore that we absolutely know why the heat and drought are so bad--yes, increasing carbon emissions has, without question, altered the climate and will continue to do so.
And don't bother with how these same old ladies would throw a fit if they got what they wanted.

Suppose the West Coast states decided to clear brush from their forests. These old ladies would have to pay more taxes to afford that. They wouldn't keep quiet about it.
But forget all that. All of it. Logic isn't the issue here. That's not what we're up against.

This "clearing brush" business is simply a tweak on Orange Mussolini's comedy bit on "raking the forests." Remember a couple years ago, when he said wildfires were because we didn't have people raking the forests? Remember how we laughed?
The Trump Reich didn't laugh.

The Trump Reich remembers what Dear Leader said. They will always remember.
They will remember EVERYTHING he said
And they will believe it.
And they will embrace it
And they will insist on the Divine Truth of what he said.
Forever.
That's what we're up against.
