The fascist conspiracy loons are howling again, and it's not even a full moon:
Conspiracists and far-right extremists are blaming just about everything and everyone for Tuesday morning’s Baltimore bridge collapse.
A non-exhaustive list of things that are getting blamed for the bridge collapse on Telegram and X include President Biden, Hamas, ISIS, P. Diddy, Nickelodeon, India, former president Barack Obama, Islam, aliens, Sri Lanka, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, Wokeness, Ukraine, foreign aid, the CIA, Jewish people, Israel, Russia, China, Iran, Covid vaccines, DEI, immigrants, Black people, and lockdowns.
By far the most popular conspiracy theory among the paste- eaters is that it was a "black swan event" (for you normal people the linked article translates this as an event triggered by the "deep state" signalling "an imminent revolution, a third world war, or some other apocalyptic catastrophe"). In the truly apocalyptic catastrophe of the Malignant Loser becoming President again, this brain- damaged conspiracist is going to hold a key position:
One of the first people to call the bridge collapse a black swan event was disgraced former US national security adviser Michael Flynn. “This is a BLACK SWAN event,” he wrote on X. “Black swans normally come out of the world of finance (not military) … There are harbor masters for every single one of these transit points in America that are in charge of assuring the safety of navigation … start there.” Flynn’s post has been viewed 7.2 million times.
To be clear, Baltimore's Francis Scott Key bridge was struck in a supporting pier by a container ship, MV Dali, that preliminary reports indicate suffered a catastrophic loss of power affecting its ability to steer. But, fevered fascist brains can't miss an opportunity to find someone or something buzzing around in their empty heads to pin the blame on. Funny how it's usually someone or something they already fear and despise.
