Trump supporter Laura Loomer thinks that the deep state has created the snow storm in Iowa to hurt Donald Trump. Unfortunately, these bonkers theories start out with the Laura Loomers of the Right and soon find themselves being parroted by conservative media and Republican voters. After all, she has 780.6K followers on Twitter.
Before we dive into Loomers thoughts such as they are, its important to note that she says she has been banned permanently on Instagram and Facebook since 2019 because Facebook said she was a terrorist and a DANGEROUS INDIVIDUAL. Naturally, she is on Elon Musks X, where she poses as a journalist (she was a former Project Veritas operative) who announces Scoops that are previously known news pieces like polls she didnt conduct, amidst general conspiracy theories and rage posting at establishment Republicans.
Loomer thinks, and I use that word ironically, that the deep state created this snow storm to hurt Donald Trump and help Nikki Haley. Is the Deep State activating HAARP to disrupt the Iowa Caucus?
We all know @NikkiHaley has a lot of friends in the defense industry and Military industrial complex. Shes losing in Iowa, and now Iowa is set to get hit with a ONCE IN A DECADE blizzard as Donald Trump is set to dominate the Iowa Caucus.

These characteristics combined with restless boredom, magical thinking and a lack of willingness to seek accurate information that may conflict with their chosen paradigm make them ripe targets for propagandists and conspiracy theorists.

(1,732 posts)Remember the secret snow several years ago? We saw videos of people trying to melt snow with Bic lighters and getting all excited when it didn't melt. They said the snow was chemically altered, electrically charged, voodoo cursed, and so on. They blamed the CIA, FBI, deep state, the devil, or whatever. We live in a country where nothing, literally nothing, can happen unless secret dark forces are responsible.
