Anyone politicizing the fires from the comfort of a place that isn’t burning to the ground, should immediately shut the fuck up.

Why do these people want everyone to get out of California? Maybe they’ll move to where you live and start voting there. Or their secret plan is if everyone moves away they can then move in?
This is the worst, this is the number one problem right now. And this is precisely what the Elon Musks of the world want.
Like it's stupid how easy it is to make up misinformation and disinformation, compared to how much effort it takes to refute it. Humanity is doomed.
I could just as easily say: "The Oregon fire department couldn't get to the fires in time because they had been stopped by immigrant caravans, woke transgender hitchhikers and antifa mobs!!!!!!"

Mila Joy is a HORSE FUCKER*.
Leave Xhitter while you can.
*It’s true, because lols
I particularly like the truck/engine correction.
I can’t believe Biden and Obama started these fires. With their energy weapons. And now they aren’t doing anything to put them out. Trump would have had the fires out before they started. The dems aren’t even using aircraft or people….those videos on the news are fake AI.
-Some MAGA probably
The problem is that the original tweet will have been seen by many more users than the reply. And knowing what the public is like...
Too late. It's already become true, and another example of wokeness for your racist uncle to bang on about.
This is exactly why so many things just feel hopeless to me. The worst people have caught on to, and the parrots don't even realize, that you can just say literally anything and the occupants of your echo chamber will believe it immediately and then refuse to believe whatever reality actually is if it is presented to them by literally any other "outsider."
Hell even someone of the "in-group" who is not substantial enough will be outed as an "other" if they dare go against the initial message.

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.
Driving Californians (particularly the wealthy and well-connected Malibu celebrity class) insane with rage and paranoia, then pointing them at the milquetoast liberal stand-ins for Far-Left Radicalism, will do to California what it did to New York, Texas, and Florida.
Just a matter of time before the right-wing propaganda machine crushes the brains of the enfranchised class. I'm already hearing my mother-in-law blame the stupid Los Angelinos for raising her own home insurance rates. And more than a few coworkers are smugly insisting this is what a DEI fire department gets you.
Being a Republican allows you to be a smug.Asshole and call it politics
Its not the Republican-ism that comes first. You have to sell people on the "I'm exceptional" mentality first, then insist they're being exploited by their inferiors. Malibu celebrities are a target rich environment for this kind of delusional elitism.
Expect a lot more Californians going on Joe Rogan and making up tall tales about how the fire was caused by poors and illegals stealing all the good firefighting water, while the state refused help for some arcane bureaucratic reasons related to The Fairness Doctrine.
Nevermind that there is a legitimate argument that deregulation made the fire as bad as it is.
Because one of the things deregulated in the LA area was the building of homes in high fire risk areas. like the ones currently on fire.

It's not like there's a state border check for vehicle emissions. You can visit California in a non-California car without an emissions check. Joy's claim doesn't make sense even before fact checking.
It's meant to sow discord, not be fact checked or taken seriously by critically-minded people. It's meant to rile up the MAGA's.

Welcome to modern society where facts don't matter and all feelings are made up.
Made up feelings are facts now
There is a border check entering CA but they only ask about fruits and vegetables.
Wow it's true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Border_Protection_Stations
I don't think any other US state has checkpoints. This is a surprise to me.
Florida has a checkpoint for plants and possible invasive species, definitely not for firetrucks helping people though.
And that's rarely enforced, at least around here.

Kentucky has them sometimes for horse papers
I choose to hold two images of this in my head and they're both equally real, reality be damned.
They're looking for horse rolling papers and they're going to the trailer and asking each horse to show their papers as the driver is told to stand back and let them work.
They've been a thing as long as I can remember
