This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.
As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.
They can't keep spewing carbon.
They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.
They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

How long until Elon Musk comes up with a crazy-ass conspiracy theory about Wisconsin?
Kenosha County, a key swing county in Wisconsin, has pretty much finished reporting.
Crawford wins by 6%.
Trump won here by more than 6%. In 2023, the liberal candidate here won by 8% on her way to a double-digit statewide win.

This is ongoing too btw, it should be “for years folks have been looking the other way”
For years, folks looked the other way as millions died or became disabled by Covid. They shouted “your health is not my responsibility” or “only the vulnerable” were at risk.
This callous disregard for human life has desensitized us. It helped pave the way for the current atrocities.

Meghan McCain. Megyn Kelly. Ted Cruz. Marco Rubio.
The sheer number of people that Trump has publicly humiliated and insulted - either directly or by going after their family members - and who then bent the knee to him, and sucked up to him, is truly astonishing.
What is with conservatives??

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech."
This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.

President Trump honors a child with cancer at the same time that, according to St. Jude, his NIH cuts will “likely mean fewer new treatments will be developed for children and, therefore, fewer children will be saved.”

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

Trump to Zelenskyy: "Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. You're in no position to dictate that. You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel. We're gonna feel very good and very strong. You're right now not in a very good position. You're gambling with World War 3."
