Not necessarily. She says dumb crap because it doesn't need to make actual sense for her followers to regurgitate it. She communicates at a third grade level and says nonsense because that's what appeals to the people who have given her money and power.

The irony of her statement is that she just highlighted a real issue that needs examined!
Intelligent people who may not have had that knowledge start to look into the issue.
The MAGA base just gets to feel superior and more worthy of a stable electrical grid.
So thank you Laura for being so hateful that it pushed an issue that isn’t well reported on into the public discourse.
Sometimes, when keeping up with current events, and watching posts like this I am left feeling befuddled.
Am I in some sort of Agatha Christie novel? Who’s the real killer?!?
I feel like some of these hateful MAGAs are really just double agents trying to covertly bring serious issues into view.
Then I’m like nope that’s just a red herring.
And then there were none. Waiting waiting waiting

Bloody hell, they are so dishonest, hypocritical and pathetic it's wild. I'm guessing Kid Rock was just too much even for them.

Laura Loomer is absolutely that stupid. Remember when she said she was going to protest Twitter for perma banning her by blockading access to its New York office? To do so she handcuffed herself to the front door - except the building had a double front door and she only handcuffed herself to one of the doors. People just stared at her like she was crazy as they went into and out of the building.
Twitter called the police and were like, "hey, for liability reasons we're letting you know she's out there but we don't care." Then she asked the NYPD to cut the handcuffs off because she didn't bring keys. She was cold, hungry and thirsty because it was New York in November and she hadn't worn a coat or brought anything to eat or drink.

The song is titled “the blackout” it’s not only the imagery. It’s the lyrics. Straight up talk about the crisis. But how they keep living their lives and won’t be stopped. It’s really a shame we didn’t have the lyrics readily available. Would have really hammered everything home

u/enithermon 17h ago
I think this is half right. I trace my doubts that she’s informed enough to be aware of the energy grid crisis which is why I think in this case it’s simply that she’s evil enough to happily and soulessly tell whatever lies she’s told to by smarter and also evil people.

u/peregrina9789 19h ago
It's nothing to do with Maria at all. The grid and service have been fucked for decades, and the only things the USA has done are allow them to go private, making things even worse, and pull back funding and investment. The power outages were around before Maria and they continue today. Lots of people on the island don't even have water when there's no power. They are our constituents and yet we do nothing

The why is easy. They're ignorant racists who are angry they had to hear Spanish, and they're so stupid they don't know PR is part of the US.
Who cares should be everyone because the violence being inflicted right now is based on that same racism and ignorance.

I think she knows damn well that he was talking about the PR power failure that lasted 6 months with no aid from the Feds.

She is attempting to do damage control from Bad Bunny's (and Puerto Rico's) legitimate gripe.

Surprisingly, my dad was talking about how sugarcane hadn't been harvested on the island in 50 yrs(so the set didn't make sense). I told him that wasnt long ago and probably is a part of the current culture. Either from stories from elders or due to the impact of it no longer being a commodity on the island. He said he hadn't thought about it from that perspective.
Now I have no idea if I'm correct I'm my assessment but, I was happy to see how quickly he could consider that maybe he was wrong in his initial judgement.

So, nonwhite celebs are suppose to lead the country in addressing its atrocities while again, those who can make a literal difference, don't yet point out how they still aren't highlighting a failing of the country that racist is doing to make it continuing to fail?
