America is becoming a -------- of uneducated and willfully stupid sheep.

The scientists, true diplomats, any real freethinkers, will leave the country if they can.

Yahoos are running the show and the Sane have no courage of their convictions.

Looking to "Compromise" with Trump is Cowardly and won't be anything but surrender of any real resistance to this far from normal state of affairs.

Science is woke. So is education.

For younger folks with marketable talents/skills, consider a place where people take the idea of a social contract seriously.
America, simply put, is no longer trustworthy in that department.

Gotta love it when ignorant piles of s(*& call for people's execution because their ignorant pile of s(*& opinion differs.

If your entire life had been on the cutting edge scientific research and your funding stopped because the country around you became hostile and as wary of scientists as Salem's Puritans were of so-called "witches", would you stay? And if universities or corporations in France, England, Germany, Sweden, Panama, Brazil, Israel, or Japan, etc, would welcome you, would you stay?

When a government endorses and pushes ignorance while denigrating knowledge and expertise you're no longer on a train; you've hooked up with a sewage barge.

It's what $cientist do when the money runs out. Just look at JPW, when the government refused anymore student loans, he got a shift leader position in the truck stop bathhouse.

"Anti-intellectualism is hostility to and mistrust of intellect, intellectuals, and intellectualism, commonly expressed as deprecation of education and philosophy and the dismissal of art, literature, history, and science as impractical, politically motivated, and even contemptible human pursuits."

Some of us are old enough to remember when Trump would not shut down flight from China at a momnent when that might have done some good with COVID.

This, of course, set the stage for the mass Republican die-off when MAGA offered themselves and their children for literal sacrifice in the same way some Philistine might have done for Baal circa 750 B.C.
