New York Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman recently said, “We need to stop drilling for fossil fuels completely.”

I can think of two possible reasons why he said this.

One is that he doesn’t know that the fertilizer that we use to grow our food is made from fossil fuels.

The other is that he does know it, but he believes that his voters don’t know it.

Either one is a pretty scary prospect.

Here’s video of him saying those words on CNN:

He’s stupid, he’s a marxist

Meaning, he’ll say any cheap, idiotic leftist slogans now - and when his power-dynamics change in the future, he’ll change with them.

Two reasons why he would say that: first, he is a low IQ ignoramus and second, so are his constituents, to have voted for a jerk like him. Very likely, they don’t even know what a fossil fuel is.

The end of “fossil” fuels is the end of food, which is the ultimate goal since the billionaire globalist psychopaths want us dead.

The skin hue is all wrong, but otherwise a pretty good likeness.

It's more complicated than that, but the phenomeon has been known for a long time:

"On this material, profit-chasing earth, an enormous investment of virtue—of intelligence, integrity, energy, skill—is required to construct a railroad to carry them the distance of one mile; in their non-material, non-profit world, they travel from planet to planet at the cost of a wish. If an honest person asks them: ‘How?’—they answer with righteous scorn that a ‘how’ is the concept of vulgar realists; the concept of superior spirits is ‘Somehow.’ On this earth restricted by matter and profit, rewards are achieved by thought; in a world set free of such restrictions, rewards are achieved by wishing.

“And that is the whole of their shabby secret. The secret of all their esoteric philosophies, of all their dialectics and super-senses, of their evasive eyes and snarling words, the secret for which they destroy civilization, language, industries and lives, the secret for which they pierce their own eyes and eardrums, grind out their senses, blank out their minds, the purpose for which they dissolve the absolutes of reason, logic, matter, existence, reality—is to erect upon that plastic fog a single holy absolute: their Wish." -- Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand

The Bowmans of the world do not know or care about "how" - they are too deeply indoctrinated with the idea that Dead White Males stole all of their money and they want to punish those they see as beneficiaries of the Dead White Males' theft in any way they can. Those beneficiaries might subsequently lose access to fertilizer-grown food...so what? The Bowmans will just find somebody else to loot it from - because they wish it to be so.

Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman is living proof that D.C. hacks are clueless to the real world needs and where they come from what ever is the D.C. trend talk is it’s the world as they see it.

Some have never held a real job they came up through the ranks.
Daddy uncle or pal with D.C. connections.
