One of Hitler’s first actions was to declare the socialist party domestic terrorists and outlaw them. He then proceeded to “dismantle“ his opposition. This is what happens when Reagan cuts funding for education and kills civics and history classes in public schools.

Trump is cutting climate satellites. That could affect weather prediction.
The Trump administration is scrapping satellite observations of Earth that officials say go beyond the essential task of predicting the weather.
