Trump, Musk and MAGA douse California wildfires with conspiracies, hate and lies Opinion
(USA Today) While wildfires rage across Los Angeles, President-elect Donald Trump, weirdo presidential wingman Elon Musk and other disreputable characters in the MAGA extended universe are doing all they can to make things worse.
Like smart-ass school children, theyre leveraging an unfolding natural disaster as a chance to shout stupid nicknames at Californias governor, making up nonsense out of whole cloth and pointing fingers in whatever direction lunkhead conspiracy theorists tell them to point.
In other words, theyre behaving exactly as we should now expect MAGA folks to behave, with cruelty and opportunism first, and they're doing it less than two weeks before Trump starts running the country.

(60,331 posts)morphing the discussion from the overwhelming evidence of fact based science to partisan political soap opera.
It's how the oligarchs and corporate supremacists are protected, keep the people frantically looking left and right while the anvil falls on their head from above.
The scope of these fires and the draught that preceded it are directly related to human magnified climate change.
Thanks for the thread Dulcinea

(24,504 posts)Hypocrites ... and it's funny, I don't see them doing a damn thing to help anyone w/ the ongoing disaster in Calif.
No wonder I don't want to help a single one of these republicans in other states...they are hateful, full of spite, and don't care a damn about anyone else. Not once have I heard anything constructive from any of them.
