Republicans are upset about these extreme weather events. They have been fed propaganda through decades of misinformation from their trusted sources. They can't blame the actual cause because they have been programmed to deny the cause.
So now they have to invent reasons why this is happening. Space lasers, forest mismanagement, liberal conspiracy, etc. The sad truth is they have been irreversibly brain damaged by corporate lies.
All for profit. Fucking with the psychological well being of hundreds of millions of people. This shit is worse than war crimes.
