    wasn’t there some sort of weird Q-Anon conspiracies surrounding {Insert literally anything here}

    Yes.

          a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”

                  evidently their political worldview was heavily influenced by classic vaudevillian antics and screwball cartoons

            As a GM I would give my players a bonus to stealth during a total eclipse if they wanted to sneak past some guards, so I think this is a very valid take. ;-)

            Yeah I know right? Joe Biden should have done more to stop the eclipse!

            When else could the cartels cross the region under cover of darkness? It’s not something that happens every night.

          Neither do I, I just saw a headline the other day.

          So in other words just lying? You really answered a question you had no idea the answer to with “yes.”
