    Unoriginal but highly germane point: the people who think that anthropogenic climate change is ridiculous on its face believe that Democrats have weather control satellites.

      Typical fascist rethoric: the enemy is weak but strong. The enemy is so dumb but also deviosly smart and capable.

      Climate change is fake but the democrats can control it and use it against red States except when it can’t.

      Facts no longer mater for these people, what they ”feel” is truth. Experts are liars. Rumor is fact. Theory is reality but only if convenient.

      people who think that anthropogenic climate change is ridiculous

      It isn’t simply “ridiculous”. It is a conspiracy constructed to harm economic prosperity in the United States. A vast Chinese psy-op designed to trick our country out of its energy independence. A plot by (((the liberal media))) to emasculate American men and perpetuate a white genocide, which will expose our nation to a final takeover by Hispanic Muslim Socialists invading our southern border.

      The Hoax of Anthropogenic Climate Change is a military operation that has already claimed large parts of the east and west coasts, thanks to the weak wills and feminine natures of soy eating cucked Marxists who have rejected the Divine Will of the Creator.

      Hurricane Milton is further evidence of the vast left-wing subterfuge that seeks to break the will of the American people. And there is only one man strong enough to lead our nation by speaking the Holy Words of Truth and champion a Glorious Return to Tradition.

      “It is impossible to warm the planet by several degrees over multiple decades but it is totally possible to create a large category 5 hurricane within just days.” Republicans are all willfully delusional clowns.

    It’s a deflection from it being God’s judgement.

    Every natural disaster that affects primarily Democrats is publicized as “God’s Judgement.”

    So whenever a natural disaster affects primarily Republicans they need to declare reason why it’s not God’s judgement.

    Had a revelation about this idiot last night. I want her to stay in office!

    That’s going to be a GOP seat no matter what, so let’s keep an idiot filling it. Do we really want a capable Republican in that slot?

    She is as powerless as it’s possible to be for a House member. Everyone thinks she’s a fool and she’s not allowed on a single committee, where the real power lies. She’s to dumb to create legislation, let alone get it passed. And to top it off, she consistently makes the party look bad. Perfect!

    “Dr. Librul, we’ve done it. We’ve finally defeated physics. We can use this tech to stop climate change and save millions of lives. What are we going to do with this new found knowledge?”

    “We’re going to use it to slam the coasts of Florida.”

    “Wait, why?”

    “Because that’s what the transgender immigrant bourgeoisie want, my naive assistant.”

    Just in case you need one more point to dismiss this as ludicrous, Milton is projected to hit 2 of the top 5 Dem-voting counties in Hillsborough (Tampa) and Orange (Orlando).

      It’s a false flag operation duh. /S

      At least a third of the US has abandoned all responsibility for the country and will just spout whatever nonsense to get what they want. Me me me me me. American individualism dialed up to 11, turning into a cancer eating the country inside out.

      A lot of American heroes spinning in their graves, watching spoiled babies loot the greatness that was built.

      Ah, but you’re looking at voters (which don’t matter) and ignoring donors (which do matter). The real question is how many Republican millionaires and billionaires will be affected. None of those other people count.

    On Monday, amid desperate evacuation warnings, Greene unleashed a hot new take. “Climate change is the new Covid,” she wrote. “Ask your government if the weather is manipulated or controlled. Did you ever give permission to them to do it? Are you paying for it? Of course you are.”

    We haven’t, but we don’t have a chance to.

    Both candidates are pro-fracking, even tho in coal friendly battleground state Pennsylvania 58% support banning it.

    trump broke fossil fuel production records when he was in office, and then Biden broke those records. And regardless of who the next president is, were likely going to break them again.

    If you give a shit about climate change and humans changing the weather, tough shit.

    There’s no viable option that will do anything to fix this issue.

    So ironically there’s some truth to this: it’s happening because humans caused it, and the people who caused it (fossil fuel companies and politicians from both parties) aren’t going to do anything to stop it from happening again.

    So it will happen again, and again, and again. Until we get enough politicians that won’t take fossil fuel donations in office. And then we can pass climate legislation, and maybe a couple decades after that things will stop getting worse. If we’re lucky in 4-5 generations it might even start improving instead of getting worse slower.

    I hope so, shits pretty bad already if you haven’t noticed.

        Yeah, it’s not even like it’s just the South anymore, the last hurricane almost made it to Michigan and knocked power out for days in some parts of the Midwest.

        Fucking insane that both parties refuse to even admit there’s a problem. Even crazier they’re both pushing for loosening of regulations that will directly make it worse.

      When you’ve decided the GOP is insane, you stop being a GOP voter.

      But a lot of these voters have more at stack than a simple vote. They’re economically linked to the socially conservative institutions and private businesses that the GOP has been standing up to form the backbone of the Floridian economy. You’re not going to convince people who rely on a salary from a charter school or an AM talk radio station or a functionally unregulated chemical plant or a cruise liner that caters to adult babies that Republicans are a bad choice for office, because these people are on the same payroll as their political bosses.

      That’s before you get into the deluge of right-wing propaganda that echoes across the peninsula night and day 24/7. The US media is a hate machine, and GOP voters are the intended output of that machine. That, plus knowing your boss is an ultra-orthodox conservative, means people who want to function in the state either drink the kool-aid or keep their heads down.

            Yeah so if we go back to the first point, there must be some level of insanity that the GOP voters realize that the GOP is utterly insane. Is “they control the weather” really not there yet?

              Different messages go to different audiences. You can find plenty of Republicans who think MTG specifically is a nut, but feel perfectly comfortable voting for Ted Cruz or John Thune or Mike Johnson, because they’re the serious adults in the room.

              On the flip side, you have a certain demographic of Rush Babies who will believe anything negative about democrats because its all just a game of smearing and you’re happy enough to feel like you put points on the board. “They said JD Vance fucked a couch, we said Joe Biden created a hurricane, so now we’re even.” The reality of the statement matters less than the vibes. And the vibe of “Democrats caused the Hurricane” boils down to “Democrats Hate America”, which Republicans generally understand to be true.

    So it can only be man made when it’s “supposedly” going after Republicans? What kinda dumbass snowflake bullshit is that? Yeah, we have the ability to purposely create hurricanes wherever we want and we’re gonna use it to attack Republicans… Like what? Are they even trying anymore?
