Some dumbass Republican public celebrations of their moron ignorance have to be responded to - this Son of an Actual Scientist can’t let this one pass undamaged. Tennessee continues to demonstrate what ten generations of Southern “fooling around,” combined with massive doses of Fundamentalist Boogaloo, can create in the way of Publick Ignorance, with a proposed law banning “chemtrails.” (They really are this fucking stupid)
I live in Memphis, TN. Along with others, I remain confounded about what those people in our General Assembly are about? Are they actual humans (excepting the Tennessee Three)? Or some sort of freaking mutants? Recently I read an article about how some states (like Tennessee) have such ignorant, malicious elected officials because in many counties, the R candidates run unopposed. So I'm looking forward to seeing the Democratic Party get around to seeding young, new Democrats to run against these ghastly, corrupt, ignorant, malicious, . . . did I say "ignorant?" creeps.
Soooo - frightened of water vapor (etc) but not of the pollutants put into the air from fossil fuels or the plastic pollution in our water AND our bodies?
Thank you TC, for attempting to explain science. In Tennessee and most of the deep South it's a lost cause. Their school systems there aren't quite up to par in science education. When I was a school teacher in California I taught Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy to junior high students. I was also on the Board of directors for our Union and had occasion to contact some fellow teachers from Tennessee, Mississippi, and Missouri. They were surprised I was teaching astrology, they weren't allowed to teach that. When I corrected them and said no not astrology, astronomy they acted really confused.
Contrails are the result of Trump and his MAGA minions secreting certain chemicals in the nation's jet fuel supply to make certain folks susceptible to all the cons he and his cronies continuously run to relieve them of their dough. I have it on good authority that many flights are carrying MAGA agents booking seats simply to help keep the planes airborne and spreading those contrails far and wide. Especially in the South. Or so it would seem. You heard it here first, Y'all.
Scientific facts and data mean nothing to these morons and the fact that these clods vote and influence legislation is worrisome. And isn’t Tennessee where the Scopes Monkey Trial took place where Clarence Darrow argued for evolution against another wonderful piece of moronic legislation outlawing the teaching of the theory evolution in state public schools? Ya think those idiots would have learned something from that, but no…
How do they feel about crop-spraying? Of pesticides or herbicides?
Publick Ignorance is not limited to Tennessee or southern states, but it has a stronghold there. In my opinion connected with Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954, which spawned segregated private schools for whites who didn’t want their little darlings to rub elbows with non-whites.
When I told someone that my husband and I worked at NASA in the 60’s, the moron said that it was all a hoax. People who worked there were just working on the fake plan that would fool the world. Such stupidity must have been handed down for generations. I’m still an old space junkie who is constantly in awe of our universe. How sad that some are chained to ignorance that has likely been buried in their DNA
Old conspiracy, been around since the days of the great fluoride scare promulgated mainly within the "white tanks and black helicopters" contingent.
On a slightly different and related topic, so what shall we call cloud seeding and other methods of atmospheric geoengineering? And should they be allowed?
Can Tennessee become the next Michigan? I have to believe an increasing number of people are getting sick of the R's shenanegins in that state. Hope we have boots on the ground there.
I actually know a NYC doctor of many year’s experience who believes that there are “chemtrails”! She’s African-American and an evangelical Christian, the sister of a good friend . Go figure.
Your description of dumbass Republican morons as "Bronze Age sheep fuckers" is right up there at the top in the memorable quote column with your quip about MAGA Mike Johnson being "a rich pile of fundamentalist shit."

My - just boggles the mind, doesnt it?

I just don't even know what to say about this . . . do these people believe they're breathing out magical smoke on cold mornings too?

Yup. An old high school friend is convinced chemtrails are part of a vast conspiracy. Bye, Felicia.
Science teachers: 'Why the fuck did we bother'
It's one thing to be uneducated and quite another to flaunt it. The former is often a lack of opportunity, while the latter is a character flaw.
I just can’t even comprehend the stupidity.
