Liberals to Trump-Supporting Tangier Island ‘We Hope You Drown’

[easyt65]

"Angry liberals are wishing death on a tiny, vanishing island in Chesapeake Bay because its inhabitants mostly support Donald Trump and refuse to think correct thoughts about climate change.


Tangier Island in the middle of Chesapeake Bay, about an hour’s boat ride from the Virginia mainland, rises only a few feet above the waterline and has been slowly eroded by the sea since it was first colonized in the 1600s. Now its 500 remaining residents are desperate for federal support because it is on the verge of disappearing.

But when they asked for support from Donald Trump to help them build a wall – a sea wall, this time, to hold back the eroding waves – it prompted a barrage of hate from outsiders. Their crime, apparently, was to blame the island’s plight on natural erosion and not rising sea levels caused by man-made climate change."



"Their other crime was to be the kind of independent, hard-working, honest, all-American types – Tangier Island harvests more of the bay’s prized blue crabs, 13 percent, than any other town in Virginia – who inevitably voted for Donald Trump.

Eighty-seven percent of Tangier Island’s residents voted for the Donald. He noticed and in June spoke to the mayor James “Ooker” Eskridge who drew the president’s attention to the island’s plight."



"Oh – and the islanders are, of course, right to blame erosion and not “climate change” for their island’s plight. ... But there is a very good reason for this – the land is sinking.
Chesapeake Bay is the site of an ancient impact crater, caused by a comet or meteor. As a result the land has been subsiding ever since. Estimates by proper scientists suggest it is sinking at a rate of up to 3mm/yr."

What a hateful little group the liberals have become. They'd wish their own mother dead if they saw a way to benefit from it.

They would do more than wish.

 

[NYcarbineer]

So?

 

[Confounding]

So?

Hatred towards the other side isn't useful. It actually makes things worse.

Liberals were always hateful this isn't anything new. Planet earth would be better off without liberals.

 

[Confounding]

Are people seriously talking as if the right is not equally hateful towards the left? It's a problem from both sides.

The ones crying about this on USMB are the same assholes who openly cheered the Congressman who physically beat up a reporter.

It's just a good laugh to hear them cry about some mean words.

Not totally true.

A crime is a crime is a crime....

In all fairness, I wish every fucking liberal would die today.

So....

Can't be a hypocrite.

That's just it, I can't find any. Far as I can tell, he has a blog. That hardly qualifies him to speak with any kind of aurhority on climate change.

And you got that from this non authority's blog. Actual scientists with actual degrees in climatology tell a different story.

Yes, natural erosion is contributing in addition to climate change.

one-foot increase in relative sea-level rise over the 20th century, six inches due to global warming and another six inches due to naturally subsiding coastal lands--a factor that places the Chesapeake Bay region at particular risk.
