Either I’m misunderstanding their comment or you are. To me, “it” meant the temperature (40°C), which they very much do get. This is why they mentioned A/C, right?
My reading of their comment (the parent comment, not the one you replied to) was that they were commiserating about the awful heat and being thankful for the fact that they have AC while also highlighting that the heat can quickly turn deadly if you’re not prepared for it.
The person you replied to on the other hand: I’m interpreting their comment as treating all of Texas (if not the US) as a singular political body (basically: who wins the election got 100% of the vote) and is blaming the commenter for the outcomes of those elections and the current heat waves. They also seem to be taking the parent commenter’s comment as an angle for attacking them as if they would attack somebody directly responsible for what’s going on.
This is unfortunately quite common online with people. Also IRL but people are less inclined IMO to be so rash and confrontational IRL than online as online you can “fire from the hip” with comments without any fears of repercussions really.
I think both are right, they do get what those temperatures are like and is why they mentioned AC. However what they don’t understand is that if its that bad for Europe imagine how much worse it will be for places like Texas.
except you don’t actually “get it” as you keep voting against anyoe that hints at a solution
I think you completely misinterpreted my comment. We get to 40 C regularly in Texas.
It’s not about understanding anything. Yes, the voters are idiots here.

Vote blue no matter who! That will fix it!
Like that time we elected the president who literally made a movie about how climate change is a big deal!
