    I was going to say I was impressed this wasn’t some stupid ass conspiracy about Natives causing it with controlled burns, but frankly I even doubt these fucks know that’s happening.

    This whole conservative California hate grift relies entirely on poorly educated people and people who have just never been here having no idea how big California is. You can drive 12 hours down the highway full speed and still not be done driving through CA. There’s no way that undamming a river that doesn’t even feed into our reservoirs could have affected us, but it sounds plausible if you think “in the same state” means a couple of hours away at most.

      California spans close to the same lattitude of Atlanta to Boston. It is like 6 states in a trench coat.

      Yeah it’s huge. When I moved west I was awestruck by how damn big California is.

      Takes nearly as long to drive from Needles to Oregon as it does to cross the span of Texas, which I would think some conservatives have a better grasp on.

    “Well if they hadn’t been taken over by us, we never would have had white people living there who would have been affected!”

    I wonder what the justification is. That they caused global warming?

      The justification is that tribes urged the government to save a species of fish, which fox news considers wasting water, no blame is put on corporations that use impossibly more water for snack cultivation eg pistachios which they consider to be the white corporation owner’s god given right.

      For these people there doesn’t have to be a justification. There just has to be someone else who you have an excuse to perceive as being lesser than you, so that you can ignore the fact that you are the lesser person.
