The problem isn’t Trump (at least directly)

Yesterday I read comments to a social media post about “chemtrails”. One comment mentioned that he was MAGA and from the other maga folks he knows the vast majority think stuff is being sprayed on them from planes.

And they support Trump because he is “draining the swamp” and uncovering the truth about everything. In other words, they claim chemtrails are happening now despite Trump being in power at the same tome they are trusting Trump to stop them.

Think about that.

The problem is a large segment of our society has cult mentality. It’s not just a political problem.

It's simple physics . It's water vapour off the plane freezing around a dust particles at -40°C or lower. The length they stay visible depends on temperature and the humidity of the air they form in.

Another point I never get is to think about cost of aviation fuel. It's expensive to run a jet. So you put in the fuel you need to get the weight of the plane, passengers , luggage and freight to the destination. Seriously are airlines going to fill up a tank with gallons of chemicals they then need gallons of additional fuel to get off the ground. Just economically it's bollocks.

Absolutely right. The thing is, they don't believe in physics. Somehow they've turned it into a faith thing rather than a head and rational thing, and they never like simple answers. If you can't accept that things are actually normally very straightforward based on ideas that you can be taught rationally to understand, then you have to invent your own reasons for your life being a mess. That's why they dare not let their children go to a proper school: the kids would see through them by the time they were teenagers.
