We don’t mean to suggest that Gov. Nero Newsom set the fires that are ravaging the Lost Angeles area (I don’t think I’ll fix that typo). But it’s not hard to imagine him picking up a lyre and playing Climate Change ditties… singing, as it were, while Rome burns. Because at the very least he wants to change it. Re-imagine it, you might say. A whole new L.A. “And it was my dream!” he croons. “I made it happen! All new!”
Celebrities and other Democrats are blaming [trumpet fanfare] Climate Change for the vast, omnivorous fires that are wolfing down their mansions.
This is the ideology. By blaming the fires on Climate Change (has anybody seen my barf bag?), the elites get out from under the blame for stupid, short-sighted, feckless, irresponsible public acts and policies… and suddenly the wildfires are your fault, you peasant!
Yes! You, with your gasoline-powered cars, your air conditioners, your refrigerators, your red meat, etc.–Climate Change is all your fault! If you’d only just listen to your betters {that’d be us!), and obey them! Scale back your lifestyle. You don’t need your own air conditioner–go to a municipal cooling center instead. You don’t need a car of your own–get up on top of the bus with the others.
Nero saw a big chunk of Old Rome burn to ashes, and rejoiced.
Nero Newsom wants to run for president.
A final word: The wildfires are 100% the fault of stupid public policy administered by fools.
