As Maui burns, understand Republicans love when Americans suffer and die.

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die - Everclear, Santa Monica (1995)

The news from Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii is horrific, with residents fleeing into the Ocean, describing the scene as a war zone, and the death toll expected to rise into the hundreds as over a 1000 people are missing.

But, because Republicans are beholden to the Fossil Fuels Industry and made resistance to climate change mitigation and environmental protections an article of rightwing faith they won't do anything, except make it easier to pollute and these disasters more devastating.

Much like with healthcare, the Republican plan for these massive once-in-a-century disasters, which happen monthly or  more frequently, is if you have money you'll be okay but everyone else is left to suffer.  And don't expect a Republican Government to help you because Republicans hate the 21st century America and want millions of people to suffer and die, whether by neglect and active indifference or by the direct actions of Republican officials.

Maui and the Hawaiian Islands used to be considered a paradise which would remain untouched by climate change.  But, now we are witness to a terrifying convergence of factors leading a horrific conflagration resulting in deaths and suffering.  Is the world ready for this happening across the globe daily? Are Americans prepared to lose all they have and their lives too?  Nah! It's way cooler to attack Greta Thunberg and call her a retard.  , fat Al Gore sighed too much in 2000 but, those Oil Tycoons Bush and Cheney will bring honor back to the Whitehouse!

The Climate Catastrophe is here.

Billions of dollars pumped into Ukraine and our Commander in Chief’s solution is $700 per affected family? #AmericaLAST

One of the quintessential on line lies of Republicans is the Zero Sum Game of the US Budget, this is the entirety of the anti-Obama "fiscal" propaganda as Republicans told poor whites that Obama was giving their money to the Ni-[Clangs] now we see this as Republicans claim they can't help foster Neo-natal care for the women they are forcing to be pregnant because of Ukraine, they can't help homeless Veterans because of Ukraine, they can't help Hawaii because of Ukraine.

The ugly, real ugly truth is Republicans hate Americans viscerally and want Americans to suffer and die. And they are doing everything in their considerable power to ensure Americans are hurt at every opportunity.
