🧵 As a former Republican consultant who left in 2015, I'm often asked why Trump and his minions are willingly destroying science, K12 education, universities, international organizations, public broadcasting, and social welfare institutions. -
I am furiously, flamingly, incandescently, *supernova-levels* of angry right now.@badastro what else would you expect from someone who thinks that science is terrible and nothing good can ever come from it? try - vehicles, concrete, phones, computers, medicines, food managment, metal working, essentially everything we have today.
if you get rid of science, we revert back to the stone age.
