Apparently the sun isn't real either. It was created and raised in the sky by the Chinese. I've yet to understand why or how or what happened to the old sun.

And the Earth is flat!
It's just the mountains and polar regions which stop the seas going over the edge, apparently. Yes, I was told that by an earnest woman.
Goodness knows what will happen if the ice caps melt.

We met a group of Americans last month who told us quite seriously that Kamala 'slept her way to the top'. We tried to point out that she couldn't have slept her way through university, law school etc etc but they were absolutely sure that she had. They thought the sun rose and set on Trump. We were stunned at their wall of denial.
We also met a couple who anxiously asked if Trump really was popular over here. We assured them that he certainly was not. Apparently he tells everyone that he is 'loved' around the world!

Trump is the original problem I think. If there was no Trump the followers wouldn't have grouped up as they have done.
He is a cult leader in my opinion.
This surely makes him dangerous.

I don’t think Trump himself is dangerous though some of his supporters might well be. So might some of Harris’s, come to that. Politics is a risky game these days.

Not really a surprise!

She shouldn't be allowed to stand as a candidate, hopefully she's gone too far even for Trump.

She also said the hurricane was being sent to Republican areas only.

I notice her husband has said he wants to release the divorce documents now.

"Even Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Republican colleagues are outraged by her ‘loony toons’ hurricane conspiracies

Greene claimed last week that ‘they’ can control the weather after Hurricane Helene killed more than two dozen people in her state and more than 230 across the US"

you may hit the paywall but there's a great Obama video you can see denouncing the rumours.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been all over the media claiming this.

The media should have some responsibility NOT to repeat what is scurrilous nonsense, instead the more sensationalist, the more likely they are to create a headline

Wyllow3 Sat 12-Oct-24 18:53:25

It's of massive cult extremes, you have to be a "believer".

MissAdventure Sat 12-Oct-24 18:48:21

Well, some research suggests it is much the same as those who get radicalised by extremists.
Maybe suggesting there are other factors at play for those who get drawn in.

Wyllow3 Sat 12-Oct-24 18:42:45

Trump is one of the most dangerous men in the world atm. The campaign with lies upon lies, AI generated images, attempts to rig the election already going on.....it beggars belief that some educated people parrot these beliefs, they must know .....(you'd think)

MissAdventure Sat 12-Oct-24 18:34:22

I think I'll blame Meghan.
Her name is rarely spoken in the blame game these days.

I blame the council MissAdventure😃

fancythat Sat 12-Oct-24 18:31:32

We did.

MissAdventure Sat 12-Oct-24 18:26:34

We had a good old chat in here a few weeks ago about "Them" controlling the weather.

When governments do geo engineering, which has been going on for decades apparently , and most people were not really aware until lately, this fires people up.

Not being told truths, or things being hidden which are now coming to light, has riled people. By the looks of that article in the op.

I have just read this article.
How thick can people be! I guess lack of basic education doesn't help.
