Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?

King's Mountain, the location of the lithium deposits, is near Charlotte, not Asheville, and is not in the area most affected by Helene.

 

So the technology isn't perfect.  They missed by a few miles.

 

You won't find me claiming the Dems caused or steered the hurricane, but I have to give them grudging acknowledgement that they don't let a perfectly good catastrophe go to waste.  Just like they didn't let Covid go to waste...

 

Kevin McCarthy says Hurricane Helene could lose Trump the 2024 election, asks why no one is doing anything to protect western NC votes.

 

Helene will also allow many voters to circumvent the state’s photo ID requirements. North Carolina law allows voters to fill out a provisional ballot if they are unable to provide an ID due to a “natural disaster” that occurred within 100 days of election day, provided they fill out an affidavit beforehand.

 

Anyone else forecasting a bunch of newcomers flooding in before election day?  I'm also forecasting that in-person voting in the affected area will range from a PITA to impossible.  Because that's how most Repubs prefer to vote.

so how about the 'conspiracy theory' that the areas affected by the hurricane (Asheville) sits on or near huge lithium deposits, thats is something i have seen popping up a couple of times over the last week

OK go on, what about it?

BTW, do you know that the hurricane also affected several huge waste disposal sites? What have you got to say about that?

If you mean by not attacking Ukraine on Trump's watch, I can live with that.  I like peace.

 

 

No, I didn't mean that. Trump is Putin's lapdog. A few files/vids nicely tucked away in Moscow has seen to that coupled with the fact that fake flattery will get you everywhere with weird old Donald.

First you say 'they' missed by a few miles' and then you say you won't claim the Dems caused or steered the hurricane. Then who are 'they'?

You seem utterly confused and I don't blame you one bit. With all the conspiracy drivel getting pumped out by the loony right it must be hard to keep track of what to say.

More on Trump's never-ending barrage of lies.

 

“I’m sick and tired of this crap": Officials debunk Trump's "truly dangerous" Hurricane Helene lies

 

'“He’s been calling the president, hasn’t been able to get him,” Trump said last week, referring to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican who soon clarified that Biden had, in fact, called him.

“He offered that if there’s other things we need, just to call him directly,” Kemp said, adding that he’s had a “great relationship” with FEMA, which has deployed nearly 7,000 personnel and provided upwards of $137 million in assistance to survivors of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene.'

The post was about conspiracies, and those are two things labelled "right-wing conspiracies" which turned out to be true, which counter the opinions given in the original post.  Things that you don't like about Donald Trump don't affect that fact (as much as you wished they did).

Helene hit Trump strongholds in Georgia and North Carolina. It could swing the election.

So do you buy into the 'howling-at-the-moon' conspiracy theory sprouted by MTG (and others) that 'they' created and controlled this hurricane?

Absolutely, that is my personal conspiracy theory and I can in no way prove it (other than what I've seen with my two eyes).

Are you ready to admit the same about the conspiracy theories you believe in?

I just asked you a simple question; In your opinion did the Dems/'they' create and control this hurricane?

 

PS. So the space (Jewish or otherwise) lasers are actually deployed?

Whomever controls the narrative (the press and internet) decides who is talking about "conspiracy theories" and who is talking about "real things that we should all be worried about". 

 

Think we all know in our hearts it's a certain group 👃who favour mass gimmigration.  They own both parties though so it's a bit dispiriting - esp as we're not allowed to speak about these things openly.

The blowback in the future from suppressing the obvious will be one for the ages if history is anything to go by.

Good point.  Many lack balls to speak up.

 

As Dave Collum Professor, Cornell University said…

“I am a conspiracy theorist. I believe that men and women of wealth and power, conspire. If you don’t think so, you are what is called “an idiot

If you believe stuff but fear the label, you are what is called “a coward.”.

Oh wow, here we go. This must be a whopper of a 'theory'! Be careful what you write, the Men In Black might whip up their 'memory stick' if you do!!

So there's a Jewish cabal, is there?

 

There was this Austrian guy with a mustache that caused a bit of a to-do in Europe in the last century. I guess he still has friends.

 

Harris was raised by her mother after age 5. Her father did not play a significant role in her upbringing.

According to Google and Wikipedia 

 

The New York Times Company is majority-owned by the Ochs-Sulzberger family

 

Is this not true? Is there a sinister cabal of Jewish space lizards behind it instead?

Little as I don’t want to wade into “Yankee” politics I must correct the above. 
 

Rupert Murdoch (formerly Australian but now a Citizen of The United States) to my knowledge is not Jewish.  In fact his father, Sir Keith Murdoch who founded the media empire, was the son of a Presbyterian Preacher and was born in the then British Colony of Victoria which became part of the Commonwealth of Australia on the 1st of January 1901 (no blood spilled). 
 

Sir Keith made a name for himself during the First World War when he reported on the horrible conditions faced by Australian Diggers (soldiers) at Gallipoli and the the Western Front.   After the war he returned to Australia and formed the genesis of the company Rupert inherited. 
 

Whilst I’m no fan of the Murdoch Empire I find it incredulous to believe that the Grandson of a Presbyterian Preacher is Jewish.
