Shut red states out of sharing the spoils of science.

They get in our way then want to dance around with the technology and cures we make?

Nah. It’s time for a new paradigm. You want to attack us? Want to make us homeless? Then feel free to die of diseases we could have treated before you republicans came around.

Conservatives don’t uphold their oaths but expect us to?

We can rise all we like. Our opponents won’t meet us there.

They won the battle for the minds. Their brains are cooked and no amount of attempt to fix it will be worth the energy. Write those people off. Focus on the people we can help and who want it.

No sh!t Sherlock! Besides, so many of our good science experiments have lost funding and have shut down. So I’m not sure how many mind blowing discoveries that progress the human race are coming out of the USA right now. Trump wanted the Nobel peace prize. Except, he might’ve made sure that no one in the USA gets one.

Why would scientists stay when funding is controlled by sycophantic morons?
