On the Los Angeles Fires
I have heard many people blame the local and state governments and their leaders. I have heard people say, Well they're rich, they can afford it. And I have heard others admonish them for saying that. Rightly so.
But let me tell you what no one has the courage to say. These residents, almost all of them, consistently voted for the Democrat politicians (state and local) and consistently supported the Democrat policies that led to this disaster. For instance, just to take one example, how many dams in California have been dismantled? And how much water storage was lost?
The politicians are who and what they are, and everyone knows who and what they are. If you vote for them, you deserve what you get. And even if they do not deserve it, because of course no one deserves that inferno, the residents have no one to blame except themselves.
Everyone needs to understand this.
Here's a prediction: When this is over, those same politicians and their media operatives will blame climate change rather than their own disastrous policies. And those same residents will believe them and continue to vote for them. Ultimately, their answer will be more government and higher taxes to pay for it. Because, really, it is a religion. The religion of government.
Climate change is but one of their doctrines. But it is particularly valuable because if you are a true believer, the only possible response is more government and regulation.
The single-party Democrat government of California is a death cult. But I should be more clear; it the government, of course, but also the media and the academy, and the lefty NGO's, and mostly it is your Democrat-voting neighbors, friends, and family. The death cult is the whole left-of-center ecosystem.
No matter where you live in California, get out now.
