      They know, but they can afford going abroad for treatment if needed, so they don’t give a fuck.

    Someone on my Facebook posted a video with cherry picked facts to make Russia look like the good guy over the war with Ukraine. That’s an easily verifiable history. People are dumb.

    I was at one of the local rallies. I think the organizers also know that this event alone won’t be effective & is only the beginning; there will be more to come. A lot more if (and most likely, when) the administration doesn’t comply with the demands.

    Fun fact… My local rally literally featured a startup founder who scaled their company & attracted investors using NIH funding as seed money, and a community college student from a nearby red state. I would imagine that even the most die-hard traditional conservatives would find such stories inspiring/good use of tax payer money… Science support has traditionally been bipartisan too.

    Again, if they don’t comply, more actions would come

    I’m sure many people who are science deniers will point to “the Bible” for facts. Try to quiz them on things in that book, I am sure they couldn’t answer a single question.

        Yes, and I’m sure that “doing something” makes them feel better. But it’s not gonna change a damn thing.

        If I knew what would change a damn thing, I’d be doing it too. So, aside from wasting time in useless protests that the Trump administration is absolutely going to ignore, do you have some magic spell that can cause them to change their mind? Because protests aren’t gonna do it. Petitions aren’t gonna do it. Hell, someone trying to shoot Trump twice didn’t do it.

          What do you propose as a solution? Just curious.

            Not the guy you were talking to, but what I propose is on the one hand, donate and volunteer to campaigns targeting the 2026 midterms. Especially ones that can primary centrist or complement Democrat incumbents, but still win the general election. The Democratic party needs more firebrands right now.

            On the other hand, in case our fears are true and we simply don’t have any more fair elections, I suggest concurrently joining your local Socialist Rifle Association and making plans for resistance outside the bounds of the system. Take a first aid class, get your cardio going, become familiar with Signal, Tor, and other ways of covert communication. Save money. Make a bugout bag and get a plan to leave asap if necessary.
