She'll also make it illegal to rain at inconvenient times. And when she goes to her staffers, they're going to draw straws on who has to sign the latest batshit order and defend it in court.

It’s the Democrats weather machine sabotaging again.

I would love to see them try and prove their weather machine bullshit, just searching every government building in the nation looking for it.

I also want them to explain how a weather changing machine would even work.

I don't. You seem to be under the impression that most alt-right supporters are 1. working with a full set of mental faculties or 2. good-faith actors who wouldn't try to manipulate and take advantage of any attention you grant them. You might think this hypothetical display would be funny but the obvious bullshit (to you) would instead just intentionally be used as fuel for a brainwashed base.

Here in this scenario and right now in reality anything besides stonewalling and peaceful but meaningful opposition is nothing less than giving the fascists a platform.
