Democrats have turned science into political science.

If you don't see it, you don't see it.


Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Government is definitely not perfect but it does do (or did) some GREAT things, like funding novel scientific research that private corporations won't touch because that baseline research is almost never profitable.

One thing the feds could clean up is not having political appointees so deep down in government. Leave them at the top. Let merit staff manage the rest.

Let’s stop asking these questions. Most MAGA don’t respond to these things and it makes us look insufferable.


Why do you care about appearing insufferable to people you admit are in a cult? And why should we care that they don't respond to threads about the lack of logic or sense to claims they make? Should we not continue to speak freely, and make the glaring lies as hard for them to ignore as possible?


Sure, you can bang your head against a wall.


Most online comments everywhere are venting

They’re against it because people who shill supplements and snake oil benefit when science is deemed untrustworthy. Why buy actual medicine when you can spend your money on magic woo woo powder that sells at a 2000% markup? Since no one can ever know anything, it’s just as good!

Those people happen to be major advertisers on conservative news platforms (in part because regular advertisers didn’t want to be seen there). As a result, many of them have the ear of the Republican Party and the current administration. One even runs the Department of Health and Human Services.

They are unwilling to except that some information is better than no information. That “some information” may not be perfect, but the alternative is nothing.

It’s virtually impossible to collect data where every factor is controlled particularly when it comes to medical research and because every variable cannot be controlled they don’t trust it or at least use that as a foundation for spreading mistrust and misinformation.

The alternative is no data and that is much easier for them to comprehend.


So a fundamental misunderstanding of what science is and how it works. Like pretty much everything about MAGA. They don't understand it so they reject it.

You're talking about a moronic segment of the population who has been brainwashed by social media designed to control them. The same crowd who will be visiting tens of thousands of doctors and taking countless medicines today in between whining on social media about evil science.

They don’t understand how research works. They live is some perverted libertarian fantasy world where if the market doesn’t provide it we don’t need it.


Look at the thread about the shutdown. They truly do not understand how anything works. They think taxes are just the government taking money from them, and that all the things our taxes pay for would somehow still happen if we were to stop collecting taxes.

So in MAGA world you can stop funding scientific research, and products still magically come out safe and effective! And they'll be on their way to being rich because of the tens of dollars in taxes they saved!

Because they don’t follow real news. They are the kind of people who, prior to cable news, would have found government and politics too boring. But now it’s like WWF and they consume trash news and spend all their time on X and Tye Daily Caller and think they’re smart.

They are also willfully ignorant about who writes all those X posts they love.
