Whatever Disasters Hit Cities & Democratic-Voting States Will Be Used By The Right To Inflict Even More Harm

​Musk, Trump & the right are blaming California and Los Angeles for the terrible fires taking place. 

Elon Musk blamed the fires on DEI hires in the Los Angeles Fire Department. 

Donald Trump is blaming Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for a bunch of things they did not do and policies they did not have. 

From Mother Jones:

Some of the themes emerging are consistent: pretty much every wildfire is accused of not being a wildfire at all, but a planned attack meant to further some sinister end. This serves two purposes: casting doubt on the established science of climate change, and finding a more politically useful target to pin a disaster on. Conspiracy peddlers blamed the devastating 2018 wildfires in Northern California on 'directed energy weapons,” a tidy mix of climate change skepticism blended with endless paranoia about what the government is capable of perpetrating on its own citizens. Typically, proponents’ “evidence” for this will be claiming that the fire is displaying unusual or suspicious behavior, unlike a “normal” fire. Those ideas quickly surfaced this week: Stew Peters, for instance, claimed that in some firestruck areas “none of the bushes and trees were disturbed at all” and the “lawns are still green,” adding, “the government wants to kill you and then they want to steal your land.”

Climate change appears much very much a factor in the Los Angeles fires.

​After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Trump blamed victims of the storm for needing to be rescued. 

Here is what he said: 
​
"Saved 16,000 people, many of them from Texas, for whatever reason that is. People went out in their boats to watch the hurricane. That didn't work out to well. That didn't work out to well."

Climate change made the rain and the flooding worse from Hurricane Harvey.

Facts don't matter and suffering doesn't matter to Trump and the right. Every disaster that hits cities and Democratic-voting states will be blamed on the people most impacted. There will not be any solutions offered. Every bad thing will be used to compound the harm. 

We won't yield to this. We'll fight back.
