That is exactly what he's doing. These people who couldn't or wouldn't leave new orleans for whatever reason, are now dying, and he's happy about that because it makes him "right". He hasn't given an ounce of thought as to what is really going on, or why these people haven't left, or why things are going wrong - he doesn't know the reasons, he just assumes in his infinite wisdom that it must be something to do with "idiot America".
So yeah, fight the machine buddy, fight it from the lofty heights of the computer in your mother's basement.
