    It’s a deflection from it being God’s judgement.

    Every natural disaster that affects primarily Democrats is publicized as “God’s Judgement.”

    So whenever a natural disaster affects primarily Republicans they need to declare reason why it’s not God’s judgement.

      I don’t know how many of these people are actively pushing this for that specific purpose, but the thinking here is definitely medieval. It’s the old human desire to make sense if events bigger than ourselves and grant ourselves some illusion of power over them and our own fate. In the past it you might have explained a hurricane by saying it’s the divine judgement of Zeus/Odin/Indra/____; now it manifests by blaming it all on democrats. The old way was more entertaining.

        So what you are saying here, is reps are afraid of the dems, because the reps have god-like powers.

        Well if they believe that, it would be a reasonable fear.
