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 @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
It’s where we are. The plumber called in to fix my hot water problem told me the government causes climate crisis.
I was speechless.
Just wanted him out of my apartment.
@LnzyHou And what is truly frightening is that, once a person has got to that point, there seems to be no way to cut through the fog. Dumb till it hurts
@Pat_Walrond @Jorro @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
Dumb til they die. I see it here even though blue state. Have neighbors furious with my Kamala teeshirts.
Don’t care.
@LnzyHou @Pat_Walrond @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL yes, you don’t want someone that crazy in your place.
@LnzyHou @Pat_Walrond @Jorro @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
There's some truth in that but you have to squint really hard to find it.
The government establishes vehicle emissions standards and mileage requirements, factory emissions, clean water standards, fuel subsidies to help big polluters continue polluting.
Tobacco, lies
Big pharma, lies
Oil producers, lies, lies, lies
Coal, lies
Everyone lies to Congress and everyone knows that except apparently congressmen.
@KGinKS @LnzyHou @Pat_Walrond @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL Congress know, they just don’t care , keep the donations coming!!
@Jorro @LnzyHou @Pat_Walrond @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL
Every solution in congress leaves some little piece undone, a loophole to be exploited, an exception for a group. Both parties do this. Not really legislators, more like outrage farmers.
@Pat_Walrond @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL it is off the charts scary!! I have no other words!!
@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
This, this, this!! All of it.
@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.
@Jorro @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL at the very least, let churches donate the Bibles. I don't want the taxpayers to have to pay for them. AR15
@Jorro @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL if Democrats could control the weather, Mar-A-Lago would no longer exist. Ergo...
@DavidKMresists @LnzyHou @danielbsmith @WordsmithFL yep !! That is right!!
Did anyone recognize Matt from @MyRadar being interviewed? Here’s the video. https://youtu.be/DNDtbUfwbLQ
@MyRadar Sorry. Matt Cappucci.
Keep on doing what you’re doing. The disruptions these science and climate deniers are causing negatively affect the lives and well being of people in the affected areas. 🌀
@danielbsmith @LnzyHou @WordsmithFL They lie do often we can’t tell the truth from the lies any longer. Add to that the failing educational system that doesn’t teach you how to do research and the television that sensationalizes our news, well we’re a big old mess.
@WordsmithFL Alex Jones was pushing the BS in the early 2000s, sad to see it in the "main stream" now. F'n ridiculous. 😔
@WordsmithFL So there has always been dumb people who believe anything. Not comforting
