As a Louisiana resident I recall how so many liberals and Democrats mocked us and Texas during Hurricane Harvey saying why we would live on the Gulf coast, etc and that Houston shoudln't be rebuilt, and that New Orleans shouldn't have been rebuilt after Katrina (even though New Orleans and Houston are actually Blue cities located in Red states. NOLA in fact is a very liberal island). The liberal elites also have said the same about the Midwest after tornadoes.
So what about the liberals and why do they live in California where there are wildfires almost every year, and expect the rest of us to bail them out? And their recreational marijuana crops too? Or do they believe that even though there have always been wildfires in California, the ones now are due to global warming? No doubt FEMA will give the liberal elites all the money they need while they did almost nothing to help Louisiana after last year's floods and are acting very incompetnetly now in Texas.

I think there is some identifiable hypocrisy going on here most likely on both sides.
The liberals are known for their hypocrisy. They only protect women when they are liberals.. Sarah Palin was blasted and and her children as well. They are known for being haters.
I bare the CA liberals (or conservative) no ill will, and do hope the fires go out, and there is no more loss of life, and property. However, I do think that liberals tend to be angrier, and more hypocritical.
I would point out that most of the damage is in small, rural towns that are mostly Trump country..other than the rich vintners and brewers..and some of the Bay area overflow...that is all the coast range and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada...and pretty darn red..just sayin'--you might be right about Santa Rosa..although I know some pretty conservative folks that live around there.
Does ones political beliefs dictate how they help in times of need? Mine certainly doesn't.
I don't know any "liberal elites" who said anything like this.
What we all have to think about is climate change and how and where it makes sense to rebuild. This has certainly been an issue in my area after Sandy. We all have to accept the new normal if we live near water.
It's too bad we can't all be Conservative, because as everyone knows, no politically conservative person ever displays hypocrisy, expresses hatred for those with opposing viewpoints, or shows glee at the tragedy of others. Never, ever, ever.

1) anyone saying what you mention in the first paragraph is an idiot. I know no one like that in real life. In fact, the people I know are completely the opposite, wanting to help. The company I work for has donated millions to FL and TX (one of our executives put in hundred of thousands of his own money). I'm in the Bay Area.
2) California is not a monolith. There is great diversity in regions between people. The rural areas, such as where these fires are hiting, are more conservative and Republican than the cities.
Anyone wishing ill on someone else because of politics is being stupid. Don't fall for the same pitfalls.
