No, no we are not going to be fine please stop spreading disinformation.

Yes, we are going to be fine. Please stop spreading disinformation.

The cuts to science are like the cuts to USAID, you cannot just restart them later and have everything magically come back and the fact that you think they can exposes your ignorance more than anything else.

They can come back. Maybe you all should start looking for a candidate that isn't old and senile first thought.

We cannot replace what we have already destroyed in the realm of science in the US, that isn’t hyperbole the same way stopping the heart of a person and assuming you can restart their heart a couple of hours later with no issues is insane.

No science has been destroyed. Also, it seems you may have over looked this, but the US isn't the only country in the world that has scientists.

There is a violent anti-intellectual movement that is winning in the US and if you think that ends with Trump you are a naive fool.

Guess you all should have had some better candidates then. You got 2 years to find some good ones. How's that going so far?

Clearly I meant in the US?

No, that wasn't clear because of how hyperbolic you were being. Anyway, it's not dead in the US either. You need to stop doomscrolling and go outside and fucking smile a bit. The world isn't going to end in your life time. And the US isn't going to end in your lifetime. Science isn't dead. NASA isn't dead. The moon program isn't dead. lololol

I'm having a great day and things are awesome for me. You should try it.
