“Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time—when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.”
That is now coupled with an extremists view that violence is ok in a democracy to purge anything that doesn't comport with what you want to believe, and that facts and science don't matter.
You have propaganda outlets masquerading as news and about a third of the electorate are fully enveloped in nonsense and will offer to murder anyone who doesn't agree with them. Until they are held to account, our republic is at risk.

Absolutely !
Science, not a body of knowledge, but a way of thinking. Describes the CC woke Socialists perfectly.
all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries Golly Gee Wally. WHO is saying that is a good thing ?
awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues It’s been here for a number of years now.
people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; Question a ‘Pudden Head Puppet’, FBI doing the Biden’s/Clintons bidding. IRS doing Obama’s bidding. And on and on, and on.
extremists view that violence is ok in a democracy to purge anything that doesn't comport with what you want to believe, Golly Gee, all those “peaceful” RIOTS. And you must hire a person that has the correct color, heritage, religion, sex, instead of hiring the most qualified.
propaganda outlets masquerading as news Russia, Russia, Russia, …
a third of the electorate are fully enveloped in nonsense and will offer to murder anyone who doesn't agree with them. Perfect description of a UL, DFI, FDS, WOKE, Socialist !
Until they are held to account,
our republic is at risk.
