It's how fascism works. Fascists live almost exclusively in the realm of feelings, not reason or logic. The leader worship, the disdain for democratic norms (even long-held ones that, per the principles of conservatism, would be respected), the ambiguity between what is trolling and what is really being advocated, we all have seen it before in Italy and Germany. -

Has been pretty awesome here the last couple days. Moving further into Utah tomorrow morning. Zion way over exceeded my expectations for beauty.- 1

Thanks for making my point. The left has plenty of pet causes that upset us, yet we are not engaging in leader-worship and turning figures into a “vessel for our rage.” -

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/trump-asked-oil-execs-for-1bn-2024%3famp I'm sure Andrew will figure out the mental gymnastics to justify destroying the supposed thing he loves in order for his dear leader to win. Legalized bribery ftw. -

In terms of only forest fires, that the costal regions are normal or abnormally wet or dry is not important. It’s sustained moisture in the interior that matters. Who cares about the costal moisture in this context. There’s also a big difference in the forest fires that occur on coastal regions vs. Interior forests. Interior forests consisting of lodgepole and ponderosa pine can and do take out entire neighborhoods when the fires reaches rank five. Even in the driest summers on the coast, a forest fire doesn’t have that same potential to crown and travel. Drive through the Coquihalla highway from Merritt to Hope, BC it’s a tale of two different forest fires from 2021. The forest fire in Hope early that September had help from steep terrain and dry outflows. There was some crowning, but the spread of the fire was unimpressive. (Rank four maybe rank five at times). The fire closer to Merritt that August was hotter and covered a much greater area (Rank five & six). I’ve spent half my life on the coast and half in the interior. Call snooty if you must, but my impression is that some in coastal climates equate a dry interior with news images of a forest fire ripping through a neighbourhood to the potential to the same thing here. I’ve talked with locals who have that it-can-happen-here when they see a neighbourhood in West Kelowna taken out. There’s also that local bias that a wet coast will provide relief to the interior. Quite the opposite this time of year. A damp, clammy coast from a weak cold front can mean dry NW or W winds in the interior. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/wildfire-status/wildfire-response/about-wildfire/wildfire-rank- 1
