I heard someone going off about this. According to them, Democrats houses were saved because of their blue roofs.

So I thought for a moment on how best to respond to such an incredibly stupid thing. And I said, at least the IHOPs are safe.

I heard something similar about the Maui fire. Something about how blue umbrellas and houses with blue roofs were spared because it was a blue laser that started the fires, which, even if that were true, once a fire gets started, it doesn't GAF what color something is

I love the idea that somehow all the Democrats were told to paint their roofs blue to avoid it. That's some real Ten Plagues of Egypt stuff.
