Some social media users falsely claimed that the extreme weather was being controlled by the US government
Disasters and tragedies have long been the source of American conspiracies, old and new. So when devastating flash floods hit Texas over the Fourth of July weekend, and as the death toll continues to rise, far-right conspiracists online saw their opportunity to come out in full force, blurring the lines of what’s true and untrue.
Some people, emerging from the same vectors associated with the longstanding QAnon conspiracy theory, which essentially holds that a shadowy “deep state” is acting against president Donald Trump, spread on X that the devastating weather was being controlled by the government.
“I NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS,” posted Pete Chambers, a former special forces commander and frequent fixture on the far right who once organized an armed convoy to the Texas border, along with documents he claimed to show government weather operations. “WHEN WAS THE LAST CLOUD SEEDING?”
So, in a Deep Red state, with a GOP President, the Left can control the weather, but can’t rig an election?
They’re sorta not wrong: Gov ignores climate change, climate change kills people
These idiots know that Republicans are the government they are talking about, right?
That’s the special thing about the deep dish state pizza, they can be secret Democrats working against Trump and theres no proof to ever be had because they’re the “secret shadow government!”
…they just so happened to also let Republicans win massively and didn’t employ any weather modification weapons to help Democrats win… But they’re totally Democrats, I swear!
Hey, I think they’re on to something. The government killed those girls… So who’s in charge of the US government right now? That’s who’s responsible
“Who’s to blame?” Texas governor Greg Abbott repeated back to the reporter. “That’s the word choice of losers. Every football team makes mistakes,” he continued […] “The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who’s to blame. The championship teams are the ones who say, ‘Don’ t worry about it, ma’am, we’ve got this.”
Have you, Greggy? Have you “got this”? Because there are a lot of missing and dead people who would probably disagree if they could. Do you know why “losers” ask questions about what went wrong? It’s because they’re not happy with the outcome, and they would like to do better. Are you happy with the outcome, Greg?
Greg sits on a bench next to the pile of recovered corpses. “Don’t worry y’all, we’ll get em next season. What’s important is you gave it your all and that’s all a coach can really ask for.”
“‘Who’s to blame’ is loser talk” is so on-brand.
Damn you Biden!
I’m thinking it’s Obama and his time machine. That Obama, Presidenting while blah, and also constantly messing with the time line…he really ruined America when he forces Taco to do all the worst things possible.
Dont worry MTG got a bill that make it a felony to change the weather. So better watch out and don’t be caught doing any rain dances.
This is unfortunately not satire.

a just world would mean that this bill bans fossil fuel companies
They will believe anything except for the obvious truth.
… That we fired all the cloud seeders?
Is that why NOAA keeps sending planes into hurricanes? To make them stronger? Katrina was an INSIDE JOB!
It’s the DEMOCRATS Fault that REPUBLICANS are CONTROLING the Weather with Secret Tax Payer Funded Machines that DOGE DIDNT ELIMINATE because Elon CARES about the Working Class and cut their SOCIAL SECURITY INSTEAD!
THATS what happened! NOT Climate Change!
So they’re telling us that Trump and his Goonsquad of Pedophile Sex Offending Drunks are Controlling the weather. I mean they’re the Deep State now right? They won. They’re the Government now.
But I was told it was the democrats that control the weather
That is what they’re implying with “deep state working against Trump.”
It’s not Republicans and the consequences of their shit actions combined with climate change, no no, it’s a bunch of secret government agencies run by baby killing America hating Democrats!!
Have we thought about nuking the weather… Just to make certain the Dems aren’t controlling it?
Just get rid of it completely.
The weather is trying to immigrate without papers. We should send ice/dhs after it. In small planes and boats until they solve it.
♫ I still dream of QAnon ♫
(To the tune of Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting”.)
