Y’all, I nearly spit out my sweet tea when I came across Wesley Virdell’s HB1382. At first glance, I thought it might be a joke. But no, this is real: a bill to ban “weather modification and control” because Texans need protection from chemtrails and shadowy Democrat weather machines.

If you missed the onslaught of Republican conspiracies in October in the wake of Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene, they convinced one another that Democrats were controlling the weather via weather machines and intentionally sending hurricanes to red states before the election.

Where did these conspiracies begin? Where else.
