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.
A couple of facts, for those who still put a value of the truth:
Trump has had little to nothing to do with work requirements and government sponsored supplemental nutrition, and
More Trump voters every day are regretting their choices.
Good question John. Thanks for asking. A partial answer lies below.
What this British fellow fails to understand is that here in America, Trump supporters:
-
- Think it’s great that Trump’s cabinet is full for Fox News “journalists” and that we’ve renamed a federal government department without the approval of congress,
- Don’t know that the war in Iran is illegal, i.e., that it’s a collection of war crimes,
- Don’t understand that costs, financially and militarily, of waging the war, and
- Believe that either we’ve won the war or that it’s going smoothly under Trump’s excellent supervision.
Their standard of truth is: If Trump says it, it’s true. If it’s unflattering to Trump, it’s a lie, cooked up by a radical left communist who hates America. Critical thinking is for woke sissies.
