Storms Helene and Milton have triggered rise of misinformation stoked by Trump and fellow Republicans
Meteorologists tracking the advance of Hurricane Milton have been targeted by a deluge of conspiracy theories that they were controlling the weather, abuse and even death threats, amid what they say is an unprecedented surge in misinformation as two major hurricanes have hit the US.
A series of falsehoods and threats have swirled in the two weeks since Hurricane Helene tore through six states causing several hundred deaths, followed by Milton crashing into Florida on Wednesday.
The extent of the misinformation, which has been stoked by Donald Trump and his followers, has been such that it has stymied the ability to help hurricane-hit communities, according to the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema).
How hard would it be, to take a state, like Mississippi, wall it off completely from the US (except for the coast so they can have marine ports) get all the citizens who don't want to be in a conservative hell hole a several year stipend and move them to somewhere else of their choosing.
Then, we set up this walled off land to be completely controlled by conservatives. They will be able to live in a conservative Utopia. We will move everyone who requests it and their stuff freely to this area.
We let them do whatever they deem necessary. Hell, we can give them a head start, by letting them stay connected to the grid, and help them organize their own government. Then once we do that, we create a massive DMZ around the state.
Then we just let them do what they will inevitably do and become a western Iran.
Uhm. If I remember right, that was a forced relocation.
This would be more of like a national experiment. "Come live in a GOP paradise" "And for anyone stuck in this state, yo we got you covered."
Maybe put like a priority housing into effect so GOP land refugees get first bids on homes, or can't be denied apartments because they'll have the government covering it for x many years.
Then the people who want to live in GOP land can have first class one way tickets, with all moving expenses paid, but then once they get there they gotta negotiate amongst themselves how to get property because that's GOP land rules not modern society rules.
But yeah the first year a lot of people will kick the bucket mostly because of the lack of everything they take for granted
