What? A scientist who is critical of Trump?? How can that be???
How strange that all the people who think don’t like Trump?
Studies have consistwntly shown that the more education one gets, the more their political view skews left. It explains why colleges, staffed and managed by PhDs, tend to be left-wing. That’s why the Conservative Propaganda Machine has to constantly attack education.
Dictators hate intellectuals.
I don’t even have to name any specific one, its a trend across all dictatorships.
Yeah I’ve been waiting for someone in academia to piss Trump off enough for him to go full-on Pol Pot…
or one that contradicts him, aka fauci.
Republicans are really mad that reality has a left wing bias
There tends to be a general distaste toward politicians in general among the scientific community.
“The most useless creature on earth, directly followed by the second most useless, the journalist” one of my chemistry profs (a highly respected authority within the chemical community) used to say about politicians. A slightly extreme opinion, IMO, but he predicted several upcoming “scandals” caused by the press’ and politicians’ complete ignorance of chemistry and inability to think scientifically. His predictions turned out to be 100% right.
I fucking wonder why… Surely it’s not the outright hostility towards them by this administration
My negative opinion predates the Trump administration. I never liked how they speak so confidently with limited and unsubstantiated evidence.
