Brace your self, as a result of if you happen to thought Donald Trump’s racist “cats and dogs” lies had been dangerous sufficient, it gained’t be lengthy earlier than this little bit of QAnon and Q-adjacent madness results in one in all his rambling, incoherent marketing campaign screeds.
I’m speaking about Democrats controlling the climate.
Conservative influencer Matt Wallace, together with his 2.1 million X followers, lays out the case right here.
Don’t fear guys, climate modification isn’t actual! It’s only a coincidence that Hurricane Helene is among the most devastating “inland damage storms” in historical past and that lots of of pro-Trump counties are being massively impacted throughout a very powerful election of our lifetimes.
Clearly the elites would by no means be evil sufficient to create hurricanes designed to intrude with “democracy”… Pay no consideration to the storms at the moment brewing within the Atlantic both! You’ll be able to ask any mainstream scientist and they’re going to inform you that it isn’t even potential to create these or goal them at sure areas.
Simply keep silent. No have to vote or expose something. You would not wish to be referred to as a conspiracy theorist proper? Couldn’t have that. So please ignore your individual eyes and don’t share this put up or examine additional.
Ah sure, the well-known conservative “do your own research” trope, which actually comes all the way down to, “find other people reinforcing this really stupid thing you believe in.”
Hurricane Helene has been completely horrific, chopping a extensive swath of destruction by way of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina—over 600 miles of carnage. Over 100 are confirmed lifeless and damages will doubtless exceed $100 billion. Busick, North Carolina, was slammed with over 30 inches of rain. This hurricane was a monster.
However yeah, liberals didn’t management it. In reality, we’ve been attempting to inform anybody who would hear that these megastorms will grow to be the norm if local weather change stays unaddressed, they usually don’t wish to hear. Fairly paradoxically, it’s them, the local weather deniers, who’re largely in charge.
As an alternative, they’re claiming that HAARP—a analysis challenge in Alaska finding out the ionosphere for communication and surveillance applied sciences—can’t simply management the climate, it could even trigger devastating earthquakes.
Excessive-profile conservative nutbags have spent the weekend blaming HAARP and the dastardly Democrats behind it for particularly focusing on Trump counties for malicious functions (you possibly can see right here, right here, right here, right here, and right here, only for starters).
In actuality, if we actually had this sort of energy, we simply wouldn’t use it to destroy individuals. We’re not violence-obsessed psychopaths wishing demise and destruction on others. But when we weren’t so ethically constrained, don’t you assume we’d:
-
Steer the hurricane over Mar-a-Lago?
-
Hit key Trump areas the day of the election, and never a complete month (and alter) earlier than it?
-
Spare Asheville, a key North Carolina blue space, with out which it’s laborious to see how Democrats can win the state?
It’s a actual indictment on our society that the whole lot needs to be a freakin’ conspiracy.
The one conspiracy right here has been the right-wing marketing campaign to intestine any local weather change progress. The top end result will probably be extra Hurricane Helenes, and there isn’t a single liberal on the earth that’s pleased about that.
