motive is unclear

looks at US politics

Is it?

I guess it could be a number of progressive things he has sided on over the years, but it happened now so yeah

He is very often demonized in conservative circles, I suspect simply because he utters the s word ("socialism").

It's probably climate change. That earthquake was from climate change, so why not?

No, the earthquake was about Americans needing to repent and turn their backs on sinful, unraked forests

Fracking can induce earthquakes.

Excessive rains following dry periods (like much of the northeast has seen...very dry winter followed by a very, very wet early spring) often causes landslides.

Is it really that far fetched that heavy rain could, on occasion, lead to quakes?

Especially considering we have decades old man-made means of dealing with water runoff. Instead of rain water permeating into the soil where it lands, now it gets funneled to one spot.
