In 2020, #Evangelicals worshipped Trump as if he were Christ. They posted fake images of Donald in Messianic poses and using religious iconic imagery.

God sent a plague.

In 2026, red-state MAGA Republicans and Evangelicals responded to videos of horrific murders, Fascism, and ICE brutality by chanting "Ice, Ice, Baby."

So God gave them exactly what they were asking for.

De autoruiten zijn bevroren; gelukkig hoeven we niet weg. In de noordoosthoek van de havenkom ligt een dun vliesje ijs. Gisteren schreef ik over hoe de opwarming van de noordpool de straalstoom doet slingeren en vertragen. Jetstream distortion. Dat kan leiden tot uitzakkers van ijskoude, arctische lucht naar de continenten ten zuiden van de pool..

Mayor Zohran Mamdani Holds Press Conference on City's Winter Weather Preparations

Lots of announcements, but one is that Citibike will be closed as of noon tomorrow. So will early voting. (Presumably because they want to discourage people being out in the weather in order to cut down on emergencies.)

FEMA Can’t Say “Watch Out for Ice” in Storm Warnings for Fear of Memes

"DHS, which oversees both ICE and FEMA, told workers at the latter agency Thursday that phrases like “watch out for ice” could be misunderstood or turn into viral memes, considering the negative headlines ICE agents are producing in Minnesota and across the country."
