Rummages my brain in EU (Could you pls explain who this references? Assuming this is even referencing a single person. Google listed Jim Inhofe's wikipedia when I looked up "us senator mountains" but the article didn't say anything about mountains)

The term you are looking for is “Young Earth Creationism” and a very significant amount of religious people believe it to be fact.

I don't think it's referencing anyone in particular. It's just common for US politicians to be creationists or idiots, or both.

The whole fossils in the mountains thing is how creationists explain dinosaurs through the flood/Noah's ark, since they believe earth was created 6000 years ago.

No one is saying mountains aren't real - that's an example to show the absurdity of denying facts. The person referenced is a "creationist", and probably doesn't reference one specific person. The biggest thing with creationists is denying evolution.

Gotta vote so the idiots don't gain ground. They strip funding for public education, they'll destroy NASA, they'll destroy NOAA, they'll destroy the FDA, USDA, they won't stop until it's all private corporations running things.

Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

That sounds like a bad idea. People tend to hyper focus on certain details in fictional stories while ignoring other elements that tie the story together. It leads to an interpretation that differs greatly from the author's true message.

The universe still doesn't care what a US Senator thinks. This is mostly because the universe is a collection of everything ever and it doesn't have a unified cohesive sentience, so maybe it's we who should not care what the universe thinks.

According to all known laws,
there is no way a person can be gay.

It's a sin according to the bible
and everybody in this world is a believer.

A person is gay anyway,
because the person doesn't care what a US senator thinks.
