TikTokers tried to prove that snow in Texas was 'fake' as weather conspiracy theories ran wild online
From "fake snow" to Bill Gates, conspiracy theories about the Texas storm are spreading. Right-wing pundits and politicians aren't helping.

"Conspiracy theories of outlandish proportions [concerning Texas snow storm] spread in far-right online spaces, including Telegram channels run by promoters of QAnon; the claims included the false allegations that the snow in Texas was fake and somehow engineered by President Joe Biden and that Bill Gates "blocking the sun" caused the bizarre weather. On Wednesday, "fake snow" was a top related-search-query for "Texas snow." On Thursday, "bill gates sun" was a breakout related-query, meaning that the searches grew by more than 5000%. In addition to conspiracy theorists on social media, traditional right-wing media outlets are promoting misinformation about the cause of the storm, blaming green energy."
This intellectual rot that has been happening in this country for decades will be the death of us -- and there are far too many so-called conservatives who love to be lied to; no matter how insanely absurd that lie is....and believing the snow in Texas is fake and that Bill Gates is blocking the sun, that Biden used a weather machine to destroy Texas power grid; is just delusional shit and DANGEROUS.....and no, the green new deal didn't cause what happened either; there are absolutely no regulations in Texas; a supposed libertarian dream -- so there are no "liberals" to scapegoat -- but as I said; conservatives love to be lied to.
