Is it time to stop fighting for the values you claimed to espouse and coddle the hateful because it makes life more comfortable for you? I'm a no.

Victim blaming the ill is also a lot cheaper than giving them healthcare.

Maybe some. But we were the leader in scientific research. There aren't that many jobs in other countries to absorb everyone. That could change. It remains to be seen who we will abdicate the role of "leading knowledge experts" to (along with the massive industries that come along with that)

We are only killing science. It's not being replaced by other science. It's only being replaced by shouty headlines. The goal is to eliminate experts with answers to questions.

T'aint that something?

Sounds delicious. Feels stupid.

They aren't. We need to stop waiting for them to be better people. They suck forever.

The way that Republicans assure themselves they have power and control is by two measures. Can they punish and hurt other people? Can they *not* be held accountable for doing so? If you don't have those things, you don't really have power. By this logic, the worst people ARE the best people.

They don't care

Sounds great!!

Men aren't victimized by women's success, but they are victimized (in Korea and elsewhere) by termination of the promise; work hard=achieve a good life.

They do see a connection. The connection is that women aren't giving them what they are owed.

It's also a tactic. If people try to debate scientific questions, they have to debate with facts. If they can rename the scientific questions as "political" they get to debate with opinions. Problem dismissed. Easy peasy.
