NEWS FLASH: trump cedes American manufacturing and scientific research and advancement to communist China

By driving up prices and driving small businesses out of business, trump's tariffs are driving manufacturing--and manufacturing jobs--OUT of America and INTO communist China.

By defunding the government and academic institutions who perform our scientific research and advancement, trump is ceding our present and our future status as innovators and inventors to communist China.

I'm sure that maga, which lusts to live in the good old stone age, adores the idea of ceding our technical and scientific edge to China--like all good republicans, they hate science and want to see knowledge abolished in favor of ignorance, superstition, and stupidity. 

And since they voted for trump's tariffs, knowing full well that tariffs are an import tax on Americans, I'm sure they're equally ecstatic to lose their farms and their jobs to China and the rest of the world--who need us a whole lot less than we need them.

maga has gotten exactly what they voted for. It sure af isn't how I'd have done things, and I have to admit I'm a little surprised at their unbridled enthusiasm for giving their lives and livelihoods to both communism in China and socialism for America's billionaires. I'm glad they're so happy right now--I'm sure they're the only ones (well, them and putin and our billionaire oligarchs). 

And now...a few videos for your edification:

Many people get twanged by comparisons of trump to hitler (one obvious difference being that hitler could read and write, but, hey, I digress). Al Gore, who should have been our president--instead of willfully ignorant, reckless, feckless, fascist war criminal w--quotes perhaps the greatest foundational similarity between trump and hitler: the truth being a matter of power, not evidence. We saw madame president* donaldina jessica trump weaponize COVID, climate change, and every other truth she could get her hands on; if we didn't already know why, now we do.

If you watched Belle's video regarding how trump's tariffs are driving manufacturing out of America and thus into China, you'll see how trump's defunding of our government and academic research drives scientific and medical research out of America and thus into China. Very real Americans are losing their jobs due to trump's tariffs, and very real Americans will lose their lives to trump's and the republicans' hatred of science.

I've said for a long time that religion is destroying America. It started with proto-fascist ronbo raygun marrying the republican party to white christian nationalism, destroying free and fair media, introducing fascist propaganda, destroying our education system, and rewarding magical rather than critical thinking. As Aron Ra says, once you make yourself believe in something evidently false, you open yourself to believing all sorts of other evident untruths, even when you don't know or intend to...hence the post-truth hellscape we now find ourselves in. Remember, boys 'n' girls, apologetics isn't for convincing non-believers: it's for pretending to validate believers who know they're only fooling themselves by believing.

And now...some meme salad to annoy and amuse you:

As fascist ABC and Columbia University found out by trying to appease trump, you can't appease a tyrant because they'll only take more and more. The only way to deal with a tyrant is to stand up to them, as Harvard, MIT, and other reputable academic institutions have done.

Ya think?

Here goes The Onion, reporting actual news again...

I'm no fan of dictator Xi, but I still love to see him throw sand in the face of our stupid, weak, little tyrant. Yes, I know I'm being mean--I know that trump is mentally and physically ill, just like musk--but it's satisfying nonetheless to see trump and musk taken down.
