Wow that GOP rep that said democrats created the hurricane is going to have to start working overtime to sell the argument again. At some point the people in the red states must start to wonder why it’s so coincidental that the predictions from the left (science) keep coming true.

You presume that that information reaches them and that they're willing to consider it.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Even if the info doesn’t reach them, looks like the hurricane will.

Well, at least their aim is much closer to Mar-a-Lago this time. Maybe the next major hurricane gets the direction right, and then the Democrats will dial it up to a cat5 or better! /s

No one has bigger hurricanes than me!

Or they'll march on the capital again and demand the weather machine controls.
