(17,174 posts)That a member of congress can be so ill-informed and educated. I guess we just need to wait until our galaxy is in a nice, temperate environment.

(22,488 posts)to her how the earth rotates around the sun and that's how we get our seasons AND she took that and added the rest of the planets and some that no one knows about and decided that the only conclusion to be had is that man can't be causing climate change because seasons exist.

(156 posts)First, she did not mention that the sun, earth and planets are round. I believe this was to not disenfranchise her flat earth constituents.
She skipped the solar system in her smaller to larger analogy, so it is possible she thinks the solar system is our galaxy.
Lastly, the true genius of her stupidity comes shining through in what is possibly a belief that we get our four seasons due to our galaxy rotating as it careens through the universe..

The scary thing is that there's a whole district in Georgia that is full of people who are at least as stupid and ignorant as this is this blithering idiot--enough of them to elect this crackpot to the United States House of Representatives. Fucking horrifying.
