As I pass through small, run down towns that are basically fallen apart while traveling for work, I notice an increase in Trump flags & signs. "Trump was right!" "Trump 2028!". It almost feels like a cry for help "somebody please save us!". Somehow they don't understand the reason their town is falling apart is because the rich & stupid people in charge don't give a shit about them.

So I'm definitely not suprised the ones getting fucked by the wildfires are more MAGA-leaning. It definitely fits what I've experienced over the last few years.

Weak reporting. Fascist government denies urgent assistance to citizens in need is a better headline.
