The #Trump #MAGA lies about the government controlling the #Weather reminded me of, when I worked #NASA education at #KSC, how I'd be asked "where are the NASA weather machines." People insisted NASA had weather machines on the coastline controlling the weather!
I'd tell them there's no such thing, go see for yourself, but they wouldn't believe me.
It didn't happen often, maybe five times a year, but it *did* happen.
@LnzyHou @WordsmithFL It's the latter but I didn't think it's the fault of the gullible. There are evil people out there trying to manipulate others for personal gain. Blame them.
Blame doesn’t work. They must be voted out of power.
@LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL I’m convinced it is both , the education and the mental too ( as you mentioned), ignorance gives power to the people in charge, that is why they are putting the Bible back in school, and let me clarify, reading the Bible doesn’t make you ignorant, but it does take precious time from mathematics, geography, biology , history and that is evil , and mentally for obvious reasons, yesterday someone posted this article, this proves it .
@Jorro That article is off-the-charts scary. Before the last couple of years, I'd have found it impossible to conceive of, far less believe, that people could be so abysmally stupid. @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
@Pat_Walrond @Jorro @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL What boggles my mind are the people who are "educated." People who have gone to college and beyond, and received multiple letters after their names. Do they honestly think POC and women are "lesser?"
Then there's the grown men who are proud of the fact they don't really understand very basic biology and the basics of how babies are made.
@GeezerWench @Pat_Walrond @Jorro @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL I realized many years ago that intelligent people are far more dangerous if they get pulled into cults and conspiracy thinking, because their rationalizations are far smarter. Still bullshit, but very plausible-sounding bullshit.
@GeezerWench @Pat_Walrond @Jorro @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
This, this, this!! All of it.
