That’s true but if we’d built a border wall in the middle of that river instead of a bridge then the bridge wouldn’t have collapsed… walls do work.

I didn’t stay at a Fox News Propaganda Roach Motel last night, but I do have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I’m gonna go with the wild hypothesis that the big heavy boat hit a part of the bridge that was holding a decent amount of weight. That introduced a decent stress factor which weakened that part’s structural integrity, it started to give way, and the rest of the bridge followed suit.

But we all know big boats can’t hit bridge beams or something because open borders cause Covid lockdowns.

Idk, I have an engineering minor and I think immigrants are a much more likely cause than a giant fuckin boat crashing into the bridge

I don’t have an engineering degree at all, but I design my 3D printed parts, and I think that immigrants stole the boat and rammed the bridge because the chemtrails in the sky made them all go crazy

…and they couldn’t mentally overcome the chemtrails because all the 5G activated their COVID vaccines to turn them into government slaves. IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB! And no one has the fucking balls to say it.

I am not qualified to have a technical discussion on this matter.

However: big boat hurts big bridge; makes sense to me.

Republicans say such stupid things you don’t need any real qualifications to prove them wrong. Usually, you don’t even need to address whether the claim is true or false, you can just use basic logic to conclude that the claim is fallacious.

There is no logical connection between this bridge collapse and border policy or COVID response. The burden of logically linking these things lies with those making the claim. We have no burden to prove that no connection exists, we can simply point out that the claim has no logical explanation for connecting these things.

Fun fact: I had a cousin in the second tower on 9/11. They told everyone in his office to remain calm and he was just like “nope” and got the fuck out

It’s rather important to remain calm in emergencies.

Particularly when noping the fuck out- I’m glad your cousin made it out.

I think they made the “nope” decision as a group (or at least his team). I was young when it happened and honestly haven’t brought it up with him since. I figure it’s kind of a traumatic thing to just bring up at a family gathering.

That is a serious disconnect from reality.

I mean, this was a failure on multiple levels, but Covid and immigration aren’t anywhere near the list of things that went wrong.
