Pretty much.

This is what the Republicans have wanted for decades, they've just also been largely lying about not being this craven or extreme for decades.

I come from a right wing household, was raised listening to Rush Limbaugh on the AM radio all the time.

The base has always been like this, the people on top, funding and puppeting the base, have also always been like this.

The mask is just off now.

Trump just gave them all permission to stop pretending they gave a fuck about making sense or pretending to give a shit about any principles.

It literally just is 'first the Dems get a Black President, and then they ask us to wear masks in a pandemic?'

Too much, the hard core rightoid loses their mind at this point, and just wants everything to burn.

Of course it doesn't help that neoliberal capitalism has been disenfranchising everyone for decades, but the base Republican voter is way way way too stupid, or horrendously misinformed to know what those words mean.

Disinformation, propaganda, and stupidity

A 2000 year old religion, 250 year old racism, and 20 year old technology.

Fuck ice, and fuck trump. You won't stop science, and I believe there's going to be a debt to us all at the end of this.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Those of us who remember the days of Bush's stem cell research ban know that they absolutely can stop science. And this shit is so much worse because it's so indiscriminate and cruel. Like literally pro-disease.

They've already set shit back years by ending trials mid-trial, cutting grants for things already underway, not fulfilling existing contracts, etc. and it's just getting started.

We'll be set back decades by the time 4 years is up. And it will take years to recover, if it's even possible.

"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth, sooner or later that debt is paid." Republicans have told a lot of lies.
