‘The Government made a fake hurricane because they want the land for lithium’ is the MAGA take we weren’t expecting
It’s certainly not news that some Republicans claim that the Democrats have been conspiring to send hurricanes to red states to derail Donald Trump‘s election campaign.
For example, that bastion of sound logic and reason – Marjorie Taylor-Greene.
Oh, well, if MTG says it, it must be true.
The Good Liars – Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler – are accustomed to the crazy claims of the MAGA cult, having interviewed them at many a rally – even managing to keep straight faces.
That experience stood Jason in good stead when he spoke to this New Yorker.

“You think the Government manipulated the weather?”
“The Government is not our friend, sir.”
“You think the Government created the hurricane to hurt the United States?”
“Absolutely. Not to hurt the United …They want the land. They want the land for the, for the – what is that? The batteries …uranium stuff, whatever it is.”
“Lithium? The only reason I know that is because another lady at a Trump rally told me.”
“You don’t know? You don’t watch the news?”
“I do watch the news, yeah. Do you watch the news?”
“No. Not all of it.”
If ever there was a facepalm moment, it was that. People had some thoughts on her theory.

This is why it's so close.
"The government made a fake hurricane because they wanted the lithium."
I wish I made up that quote.

If anything this election cycle has shown we have to do better when educating our citizens. This cannot be what we allow America to become.

I was uncertain if we are more stupid than America after the Brexit referendum but I am now more inclined to believe that we are still hanging on by the thinnest of threads, the second dumbest nation in the world. https://t.co/iepsmwe6yv

Peaceful Piranha had a pretty good point.
If the government is controlling the hurricanes, then wouldn’t you want to vote for the party that can control the weather?

Let’s hope Elon Musk doesn’t get any funny ideas.
