After the Flood

After the Flood

34

After Hurricane Helen
Unleashed the worst flooding
In modern times.

The real flood began
Republicans unleashed
A flood of nonsense
misinformation and lies.

Claiming without any evidence
That Biden and Harris
Were not doing enough
To help the victims.

And that somehow
They had unleashed
a weaponized hurricane.

noting that the hurricane
hit red states
just before the election.

no doubt a conspiracy
by evil scientists
against hard working
red state Americans.

Biden pleaded to not make
This a political issue,
And to focus on helping
The victims.

Trump sneered
It was all part
of the climate hoax
and Biden and Harris
hated red-state Americans.

And further storms
Are lined up
Climate change hitting home

No one is safe.
From the flood
Of misinformation, lies
And vile conspiracy theories.

Donald Trump recently sparked controversy by calling climate change a "scam" in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which caused significant destruction across the southeastern United States1. He claimed that the planet has "actually gotten a little bit cooler lately"2. These comments have drawn criticism, especially given the devastation caused by the hurricane and the broader scientific consensus on climate change.

Reactions to Trump's comments have been strong. For example, during a vice presidential debate, Ohio Senator JD Vance echoed Trump's skepticism, which highlighted the divide between political parties on this issue3. Meanwhile, the Democratic side, including Vice President Kamala Harris, has emphasized the urgent need for climate action in response to such extreme weather events4.
