Trump supporter Laura Loomer thinks that the deep state has created the snow storm in Iowa to harm Donald Trump. Sadly, these bonkers “theories” begin out with the Laura Loomers of the Proper and shortly discover themselves being parroted by conservative media and Republican voters. In any case, she has 780.6K followers on Twitter.
Earlier than we dive into Loomer’s “thoughts” corresponding to they’re, it’s essential to notice that she says she has been “banned permanently on Instagram and Facebook since 2019 because Facebook said she was a terrorist and a “DANGEROUS INDIVIDUAL.” Naturally, she is on Elon Musk’s X, the place she poses as a journalist (she was a former Mission Veritas “operative”) who pronounces “Scoops” which are beforehand recognized information items like polls she didn’t conduct, amidst basic conspiracy theories and rage posting at “establishment” Republicans.
Loomer thinks, and I exploit that phrase mockingly, that the deep state created this snow storm to harm Donald Trump and assist Nikki Haley.
“Is the Deep State activating HAARP to disrupt the Iowa Caucus?
Everyone knows @NikkiHaley has quite a lot of buddies within the protection business and Army industrial complicated. She’s dropping in Iowa, and now Iowa is about to get hit with a ONCE IN A DECADE blizzard as Donald Trump is about to dominate the Iowa Caucus.
Is the Deep State utilizing HAARP to rig the Iowa Caucus?
Seems to be like climate manipulation to me.
Check out this climate radar under and the way the incoming snow storm accelerated out of nowhere. 👇🏻”
Musk has but to kill Group Notes, and so Loomer obtained Group Famous in order that different posters would know that, really, HAARP can’t create snow storms: “HAARP was the name of a military-run operation to study the upper atmosphere. It is now running as a part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and never had the ability to create snow storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.”
Put these sharpies away, Trump supporters. They’ll’t make hurricanes, both.
What’s all this about? It’s cowl for the truth that Trump advisers are involved that the subzero temperatures and snow storm will impression his massive lead in Iowa and so they’ve been working to decrease expectations.
“However, his advisers in recent days have privately acknowledged that his lead in Iowa will likely be impacted by the subzero temperatures expected on caucus day. Now, they’re working to try and lower expectations — with Trump himself, but also with the media and general voters — about the former president’s anticipated lead on January 15,” CNN reported Friday.
There’s at all times obtained to be an excuse for Trump, so this time, Loomer is planting the seed that if he fails to usher in the anticipated lead, it’s as a result of Nikki Haley obtained the military-industrial complicated to make a snow storm to assist her beat Trump. Whereas this flimsy excuse is predicated on an already debunked conspiracy concept, what’s much more attention-grabbing is the concept this snow storm received’t damage Nikki Haley however will damage Donald Trump.
Truly, Trump himself informed supporters in Newton, Iowa final weekend that whereas it’s going to be chilly, they should present up, and he additionally mentioned that the chilly could be good for him as a result of Haley and DeSantis supporters don’t have sufficient enthusiasm to buoy them by dangerous climate.
“Weather is not gonna keep our people away, it’s gonna keep their people away,” Trump mentioned.
The reality is the dangerous climate will impression turnout, however Trump has a big lead and it’s additionally true that his supporters are way more hooked up to him. They’ve actually gone to jail to hold out his whims.
Sooner or later, political scientists must work with psychologists to review the minds of Trump supporters who consider this nonsensical and relatively pathetic excuse for his potential failure, in addition to believing he received an election he clearly misplaced and spent months in courtroom making an attempt to struggle solely to lose as a result of the proof didn’t assist his hysteria.
If somebody tells you you could’t belief anybody however them and solely the sources they inform you’re good, which simply so occurs to all be of their nook, you must run in the other way. In the event that they blame manufactured snow storms for his or her potential PR failures, nicely… don’t drink the Kool-Help.
