Brace yourself, because if you thought Donald Trumps racist cats and dogs lies were bad enough, it wont be long before this bit of QAnon and Q-adjacent insanity ends up in one of his rambling, incoherent campaign screeds.
Im talking about Democrats controlling the weather.

Maybe in times like these we quit fucking being partisans and try to pull together as Americans. And Ashville, NC has a very large Democratic population, why would "we" want to take shot at them?
Screw these loons.

(88 posts)If the Democratic Party has the ability to control the weather and can keep secret how to do it, shouldn't they be running the country?

These people are indeed, stupid, and I hate saying this, but when they say stuff like this, how can you not?
This doesn't help them either on the mental end. No wonder that they're running behind in urban renewals, job creation in their areas, and all other sorts of good stuff, and their rural areas are continuing to suffer for the most part. Why are people continuing to move into the cities? That's where the jobs are, where the vast amount of job creation is, and I suspect, where new factories get built at, where most of the infrastructure is at, and there is a larger supply of qualified labor to draw upon.
