“I wish we could turn it on and say, 'oh, let's make that tornado go away,' but our weather radar and all of the weather radars in the U.S. are built strictly to inform and warn the public, and to keep the public safe -- and that's exactly why we have our live radar."

That’s always the problem with these sort of conspiracy theories, if the government or big media could control the weather, why isn’t it optimized for maximum growth? Why would they be throwing tornados and other natural disasters out that wreck productivity? This is why these things always end up falling back on anti-Semitic cabals to explain their delusions.

Persecution complex, as well. They so, so, so badly want to be in an action movie where they're the hero who fights against the Deep State. And the Deep State does evil things for the sake of being evil. It's what happens when you believe the British hated liberty and freedom, which is why the American Revolution took place.

The cognitive dissonance of defending the status quo while also dressing up in the aesthetics of the revolutionary founding of the country goes a long way to explain why American conservatives are so unhinged.

Well, they very much did/do. Just turns out the founding fuhrers weren’t very big on it either.
