The mid-west mouth breathers that cheered for this have no idea about any of that; it’s just ‘California bad’.
They don’t know that the top two ports in the entire US is LA/LB. you think our distribution systems are fucked now with raising diesel prices? Just wait until there’s nothing to ship. They don’t know how vital Camp Pendleton is as a mainland port for the military in the Pacific. You thought the Lincoln looked bad now? Just wait until the Navy gets hit in the knee caps.
And to be clear; I’m not worried about an Iran strike. I’m worried about these mouth breathers galvanising and committing domestic terrorism. The GOP has been running dog fighting rings for decades and the voter base are those abused and tormented pit bulls. He’s just pointed them at two vital American cities and said ‘have at em’.
They've been propagandizing against California for decades. Another thing the deluded rubes in Grand Island don't understand is that California has 10x the number of conservative voters as live in all of Nebraska.
