If you were tasked with identifying a trend in human civilization that extended from the Dark Ages into the 21st Century, you might choose the development and implementation of science. Solutions in everything from medicine to mechanization to information technology have made our lives longer, healthier, and more productive. One could have drawn a straight line, or perhaps an exponential curve, through our progress over the past 1500 years.
Until the advent of Donald Trump, that is. Now an entire political party is defining itself as anti-science, at least insofar as the climate is concerned.
Having said that, it appears that Trump, formerly distinctly anti-EV, has softened his position here. Why? Perhaps because Elon Musk has agreed to fund the former president’s campaign to the tune of $45 million per month.
Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.
But what is that number, roughly?
After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.
Republicans Manipulate American’s Ignorance — and it Doesn’t Take Too Much Skill
I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
