Flooding in EKY

[Rajoo]

I am wondering from the severe flooding that is devastating Eastern Kentucky, how do the ill informed wingnuts living there feel about climate change? And within the last week or two, the eastern half of the US went through a heat wave and now the PNW is suffering along with a major fire near Yreka, CA. And people living in Yreka and the surrounding area, the self proclaimed "Land of Jefferson" are mostly Bundy types.

There was an opinion piece in WaPo where the author claiming to be a Democrat was admonishing other Dems for not showing any sympathy for those suffering in EKY. I found her argument to be weak and more finger pointing than substantive. If the people living in red states or in Trumpervilles don't give a damn about this country's well being, why should I give a damn about what happens to them. They continue to elect politicians who vote not only vote against their constituents' well being but continue to mock climate change, Coronavirus mandates, or even the assault on our democracy. Screw them is my attitude since I am no longer a compassionate conservative.

Sink or swim, makes no difference to me. Am I being callous?
Hope the pay wall is off since it is from last week.
