[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAGA- please explain to me why you are against science research?  I’m so confused by this. Do you never intend to use any products that were developed via scientific research or never go to a doctor?[/quote]

Democrats have turned science into political science.

So you’re against scientific research? You didn’t actually answer OP’s question. What about scientific research conducted in other countries? Do you also not believe that?[/quote]

I told you, it's not scientific research.  It's political science. Get it now?[/quote]
I think this poster is a perfect example of why MAGAs are okay with cutting research funding. They operate on instincts and feelings. They believe things that feel right and that validate their experiences and perceptions. They trust politicians who feel what they feel and say what they think. They dismiss facts and data that contradict what they feel is true.

They don’t trust people who contradict their views. Who is always throwing around facts and data? Democrats. Who looks down on you for voting based on your gut instincts? Democrats. Who wants to make it inconvenient and expensive for your business to dispose of toxic waste? Democrats. Which party attracts more smug voters with fancy degrees? The Democratic Party. Which party is full of big city types who derisively call the rest of America “flyover country”? The Democratic Party.

Which party supports scientific research that they will use to make policy arguments? The Democratic Party. Meanwhile, Republican politicians will say we don’t need this research and it’s a waste of tax dollars. Without new research and data, we don’t have to worry about additional burdensome regulations. Sounds like a win to people who don’t give a shit about things like avian migration patterns and don’t want to think about climate change and have never considered how weather forecasts are generated and who don’t know that years and years of research that predated the pandemic are the only reason why a vaccine could be developed so quickly.

If you're so worried about climate change, I guess you're going to need to go talk to China about building a new coal fired energy plant every two weeks instead of unilaterally hobbling the USA in search of your hopes, dreams and aspirations.

This is such a bs argument. In the pie of climate change contributors, the US has already used up a huge chunk of that as it industrialized. We know better now and have other tech so we (in theory) use less. China and other industrializing countries are where we were in the 19th century. And we have no moral ground to tell them not to. There may be incentives, agreements, etc. but Trump is using a cudgel instead of those options.

The US won't be hobbled and we would be further along and a leader in non-fossil fuel tech but Republicans want to cater to coal and oil and gas industries and pretend we're still in the guilded age of industrialization. So you want to talk hobbled? Look to the backwards thinking of the republican party.[/quote]
