How do you think the conspiracy nuts will react if this bill becomes law and then there are just as many contrails in the sky as before?
Depends. How gay are the frogs?
Considering how stupid those who want this are, they'll just go oh see, they stopped doing chemicals in the trails now!. Or 50/50 chance want all jet planes banned 🤷
Accurate representation of those wanting this
Sadly they'll just think it's the federal govt doing the spraying that's why they ignore state laws.
Legality never stopped the USA from spraying radioactive mist (zinc cadmium sulfide) over Medicine Hat, Alberta and a couple other smaller towns not just Canada, but their own citizens too during the Cold War as a funny little experiment to see how radioactive fallout from nukes would move around the environment. Higher than average local birth defects are the legacy of that, which almost everyone is ignorant of.
But yeah the conspiracy that it's widespread and regular behaviour is so fucking goofy.
It would be pretty funny if that makes those people snap and they end up being the ones to drag Trump and his cronies into the street and tear him apart like zombies.
Though they’d likely all just be shot to death while trying, which I guess maybe win-win?
what and shoot his very fine voters?
I mean... He's said it himself. He doesn't really need them anymore.
oh yeah. They're totally getting shot.
leopards and faces and stuffs.
Well a key trait of all right wingers is stabbing each other in the back when it benefits themselves directly so they’d just claim they were woke trans terrorists after they shot the lot of them.
sorry. maybe should have but a /s tag on that.
Trump would totally have them shot if he felt he'd thought he'd make a quick buck.
