Californian Writes Postcards to 'Valued KY Voter' As Their Backyard Burns
A likely well-meaning California resident was spotted in their home hurriedly writing postcard after postcard to send out to Kentuckians urging them to vote for Amy McGrath as their own backyard continued to burn.
“Dear Valued Kentucky Voter,” the letter began. “I’m writing to you today to remind you that voting is your voice and your right! Amy McGrath will fight for your health care and…”
The writer was suddenly interrupted as shifting winds brought with them a large plume of smoke, the writer unintentionally breathed in the toxic air which induced a severe coughing fit.
Regaining their composure, the writer picked up their pen and started where they left off in the letter.
“…voting for Amy would really stick it to ol’ Moscow Mitch and if she won it means she’d get to join my California Queens in Congress: Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein! Both of them have done so much for us and…”
As the flames surrounding the writer’s home grew higher and higher a decision was made to evacuate the home which was surrounded on all sides by the raging fire; a fire largely exacerbated by the catastrophic effects of climate change.
With nothing by a handful of still blank postcards in their hands, the writer hurried out the door leaving behind their longtime home.
“Anyway,” they picked up in the letter, this time writing from the safety of a nearby evacuation shelter, “voting Blue is the most important thing we can do this election. We can’t trust the Republicans to help us, but the Democrats definitely will.”
At the time of press, Feinstein was traveling to area schools berating each classroom of children earnestly pleading for her to do something to save their lives and Pelosi was printing several copies of the Green New Deal legislation and tearing the copies for dramatic impact.
With one of the postcards finished, the writer licked the envelope, placed a stamp in the top-left corner and sent it off in the mail. They watched everything around them burn, ash blowing in the air and they returned to the next postcard.
