The MAGA War on Science Is Deadly--and It's Just Getting Started

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“The Trump administration is taking a chain saw to America’s scientific research. The proposed 2026 budget calls for a devastating 37 percent cut in funding for biomedical research through the National Institutes of Health; a 56 percent cut in science research funding through the National Science Foundation; and further, major cuts in science budgets at NASA, NOAA, the EPA, the CDC, the Agriculture Department, the Energy Department, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Forest Service, and other smaller agencies. Make no mistake: This is a total war on science in America. If an enemy power wished to demolish one of the pillars of American economic, military, and political strength over the past century, this might be what they would do.

At first glance, these moves are so baffling that many observers are tempted to deny that it is happening. Even the MAGA faithful understand that science is part of what has made American great. So why has the administration declared war on science? To start, we should keep in mind that there is probably no master plan. Multiple overlapping agendas and factors are driving the destruction. But there is a deeper motivation at work too. The conservative movement in America—the same movement that decades ago demanded science as the answer to Sputnik—has turned its back on the very idea of science.

That’s because the conservative movement has become an antidemocratic movement, and it understands at some level that the truth is its enemy. Scientific research is in some respects collateral damage in a wider war on democracy.”

Facts and the truth are the enemies of authoritarian regimes; both must be attacked consistent with the fascist right’s war on democracy.

This is the "science" that says men get pregnant, "vaccinated" people can't get covid, and 5-year olds can decide if they want a sex change operation.

What a shame. Who’s going to push the globalclimatewarmingchange scare for democrats in 2028?

According to lefties, our federal government and research institutions run a really tight ship.

That's awful!
Does that mean we won't discover any new genders?
We'll have to settle for the 73 we have now?

Science suffered a naval bombardment during the Biden administration.

It only survived because girls have bad aim.

Maybe if science had not declared war on America this may not have happened.

But after being forced to take their jab as people who took it and died from it or had other horrible medical complications because of it were not only not compensated legally for it, they were then systematically told they were anti-science and censored on social media and spat upon by people like yourself.

And then came "scientists" saying that men can have babies?

Really?

The gender cult is now taught in public schools thanks to these spineless scientists who have helped contribute to a 4000% increase in gender confusion in their own country.

Science destroyed itself.
