The Flat Earth Presidency

First, it came from The Scientific American.  

What was it?

A first ever for the scientific publication to endorse a candidate in the presidential election.  For the first time in its 175 years!

My guess is that this #tRump-loving letter-writer will not read @sciam nor care for this message.

A couple of days ago, an even bigger splash in the scientific waters when The New England Journal of Medicine made a political statement about the presidential election--for the first time in its 208 year history!

"Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment."#VoteGOPout #tRump #Election2020

How many of the 63 million who voted for tRump in 2016 care about what the NEJM and SciAm say, right?

Chances are that if they knew that these eggheads had dissed their Dear Leader, then they will double down on him.

The anti-science misinformation coming from this President and his toadies are literally killing us. "This “infodemic” has to stop," screams this SciAm commentary.  "Even after Trump became ill with COVID, he continued to mislead the public about the danger of the illness and the safety and efficacy of the experimental treatments he received."  What can one do then!

tRump is unique in being a public person with an "absolute lack of shame."

Like, an absolute lack of caring about human beings, or telling the truth, or anything like that. When he was up against Hillary Clinton, who tried very hard to play by the rules, and make that part of her shtick, it was just a horrible matchup. 

Yet, 63 million voted for him, and a good chunk of those voters are ready to re-elect him!

Terrible three weeks ahead.  And hoping that the attack on science and common sense will end the night of the election.
