“And so, we know how this is going to work: Republicans are going to keep cutting, keep destroying basic services, dismantling the social safety net, and things will inevitably go wrong. Floods, hurricanes, pandemics, food contamination, industrial accidents, you name it. And they’ll shriek and moan that you’re politicizing a tragedy if you point out that their policies led directly to the American carnage unfurling before us. All while their base dreams up new conspiracy theories that conveniently put the blame on someone else, the Democrats, migrants, the Jews, trans people, anyone but their own party. And though they’ll seethe at the idea that these calamities could be political, they’ll also be more than happy to lean into the chaos. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced a bill over the weekend that would make “weather manipulation” a felony. Sure. What the fuck, why not? Who cares. Anything to keep their deranged supporters from wondering why the flood waters continue to rise. Thoughts and prayers, etc.”
