Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

Obviously, intellectually lazy posters saying things like that is just a way of avoiding unpleasant truths.

“Karens” from the world of science:

https://www.nbcnews.com/science/sci...s-threaten-research-stirring-panic-rcna191744



In the wake of the Second World War, US leaders adopted the view that scientific progress is an “essential key to our security as a nation, to our better health, to more jobs, to a higher standard of living, and to our cultural progress”. And for the next eight decades, government officials on both sides of the political aisle agreed to invest in US science. Just one month into the second administration of Republican President Donald Trump, scientists fear that that long-time consensus is disintegrating.

Acting with unprecedented speed, the administration has laid off thousands of employees at US science agencies and announced reforms to research-grant standards that could drastically reduce federal financial support for science. The cuts form part of a larger effort to radically reduce the government’s spending and downsize its workforce.

Although US courts have intervened in some cases, Republicans in both chambers of the US Congress — which largely blocked Trump’s efforts to cut science funding during his first term as president from 2017 to 2021 — have mostly fallen in line with the agenda for Trump 2.0. For many researchers, this first month signals a realignment of priorities that could affect science and society for decades to come.
These actions are all “unprecedented”, says Harold Varmus, a former director of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) who is now a cancer researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. “No one has ever seen a [presidential] transition in which one of the most valuable parts of our government enterprise is being taken apart.”

The Trump White House did not respond to Nature’s request for comment.

Sadly, for a certain percentage of these people, not even having their face eaten off will cause them to change their minds. @LogGrad98 recently told a story about a MAGA family member who was purchasing yet another new vehicle. Two pts:

1. Kinda destroys the whole argument that Biden’s economy was some depression level hellscape. If you’re able to blow hundreds of thousands on new trucks, you’re not hurting financially. “bUt EgGs!”

2. Despite being told by Log that Trump’s idiotic economic policy sucked, the guy likely will never ever ever admit that voting for Trump and not Harris was a mistake. He’ll never admit that liberals were right. He’ll never admit that his life and millions of others would’ve been better off with Harris’s economic policies. Trump has become too much of his identity. Trump/hating the left has become the only identity many in this country have.

It’s easier to just regurgitate the propaganda than critically think or show empathy. Trolls on this website are those *** clowns that never grew up sitting in the back of the classroom making farting noises with their armpits.

Activist judges? lol. They're saying that judges have no authority to interfere with who Trump wants to deport (which is false). Trump is acting as judge, jury, and executioner. They're saying they don't need due process. Trump decides who's a criminal. He deports whoever he wants. Laws are irrelevant.

I thought you were capable of introspection given your previous comment. I appear to have been mistaken.

Process, rule of law, and evidence matters. Donald is deporting people he doesn’t like by declaring them terrorists. Where’s the evidence? Why should we believe a serial liar and rapist? What has Donald done to earn our trust? Aren’t we supposed to follow laws and process? Or are we just ruled by whatever orange god king says?

I hope our “very principled like totally not maga” conservatives remember that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I certainly hope and pray that President AOC doesn’t decide to deport a whole bunch of lazy *** “very principled like totally not MAGA” losers from Florida to the gulag without process for being “terrorists.” I sure would lose a lot of sleep if President AOC decided to throw laws out the window and deported her perceived political enemies.

Remember folks, laws and process should matter before it touches you personally. If you wait to care about process or have empathy for others, it might just be too late. In fact, there’s a famous poem about this sort of thing!!! Maybe instead of banning books we should read them?! What a concept.

Nah, we're just people with common sense.
 
What is a “culturally incompatible immigrant?” A black one? A Jewish one? And who gets to decide which races or immigrants are compatible or not? And why does JD Vance talk about civilization suicide, the exact same language white supremacists have been using for decades against immigrants and mixed races?

Does this seem a bit… you know… racist and fascistic?

www.dailymail.co.uk

JD Vance warns Europe that open borders risk 'civilisational suicide'

Speaking on Fox News , the VP said he fears the future of the West as many countries in Europe are 'unable or unwilling' to 'control their borders'.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

It’s coincidentally the same rhetoric white supremacists like Elon Musk, David Duke, Donald Trump, and Tucker Carlson have used.

Donald Trump on Illegal Immigrants "Poisoning the Blood of Our Country"

During a rally in Durham, New Hampshire, 2024 Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump says illegal immigrants and migrants from "all over the world," like South America, Africa, and Asia, are "poisoning the blood of our country."

And why does this sound so familiar? Hmmm. Why won’t any of our principled conservatives on this website speak out against this obvious and disgusting racism? They disagree with it… right? Right???

Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party adapted, manipulated, and radicalized the unfounded belief in the existence of an "Aryan race." Learn about the term Aryan.

It is telling that you highlight the plight of university researchers, who are nearly all aligned to the political left. The chants of “diversity is our strength” were all phony. The truth is that universities have long been run by political bigots who have achieved ideological capture, and the evidence for that is overwhelming.

There are many extremely bright people who hold conservative values, but universities were made hostile to them. It is often said “when someone tell you who they are, believe them.” University staffs have made crystal clear they are enemies to conservatism and conservatives. Universities won’t hire them. They won’t promote them. They only allow conservative speakers due to being forbidden from opposition by the first amendment.

I don’t have any use for lefty bigots like Richard Spencer, and I don’t have any use for lefty bigots like university researchers. If you want to support bigots, I won’t stop you but that is yet another 80/20 issue that lefties seem to want to take the 20% side on.

We Have Data: Universities Are Discriminating Against Conservatives

Universities are now in a feedback loop in which a political monoculture creates a hostile climate for conservatives, driving self-censorship and empowering cancel culture, which keeps conservatives out.

Hey @The Thriller, don’t be modest call me out by name. Get some balls.

I think you’re smarter than AOC, (debatable)
But can you tell the rest of the posters on this forum if that plane was full of Americans from Florida or illegal criminals?

This is why you are a definition of a troll. Yet you think you’re smart but have no depth, you are almost always wrong about everything. You post lies and take almost everything out of context.

Tell me more about eggs, please.

Tell me more about how you want to keep illegal criminals here in the USA.

Just stay miserable! Nothing will make you more happy than actually having a left wing dictatorship. You have been begging for it. Flip all judges to left wing activists, add seats to the Supreme Court and fill them with left wing activists. Take the house and senate and put your goddess Kamala in charge. Fill America with everyone from outside of the country and prioritize them. The death of America.

This is your dream. It’s quite sad.

If you're a Trumptard and not in it for selfish monetary reasons this checks out. The Rapist allows you to channel your hate toward a cause, as misguided as it is.
