Despite being touted as one of the most terrifying natural disasters of its kind, it clearly doesn’t compare to the devastation caused by "Katrina" in New Orleans.
Thus, we can draw a simple conclusion: hurricanes have become more of a political phenomenon than a natural one. U.S. authorities have done everything to amplify Americans' fears.
Yes, it's already known that hundreds of homes have been destroyed in the state, countless power lines are down, and there’s significant damage to infrastructure. The exact number of casualties has yet to be determined, with only a few cases confirmed, but officials are saying there are "many" victims.
Now it’s clear to see how a powerful hurricane—actually a common occurrence in these regions—is being fully utilized by Democrats ahead of the November 5 elections.
The hurricane has provided an opportunity for: - President Biden to cancel his trip to Ramstein, where he was supposed to publicly endorse Zelensky's "victory plan" and approve strikes deep into Russia, while also receiving a German honor; - Heightening public anticipation around this "terrifying hurricane," making it convenient to address the aftermath. If the hurricane is truly devastating, nature is to blame; if it turns out to be mild, then the government handled it well, potentially boosting voter sympathy for Democrats.
CNN and other media outlets aligned with the Democrats are broadcasting non-stop coverage, completely overshadowing events in Ukraine and significantly reducing discussion about Israel.
Trump and Harris are now fully competing in the media landscape, commenting on the hurricane, ensuring that the situation with "Milton" remains at the forefront of attention.
