This is a gutting of the scientific research establishment which has created much of American prosperity since World War II, when the US used the promise of survival and stable funding to lure academics from Germany.

I mean, that’s just how people decide on who to be friends with right? I’m more likely to be friends with people that like camping and bonfires than people that like formula one. Do I have friends that like formula one? Sure.
I’m more likely to be friends with democrats but I do have a couple of republican friends.
My dude… I can theoretically be compatible with someone on literally every point except detaining innocent children, and that’s a deal breaker. We’ll never be friends.
Maybe there’s not enough selection of people around you, maybe it’s just not important to you (which bums me out) but it’s your life.
Hurting innocent people is 110% shitty, I don’t care who’s doing it.
I hear you, but not all Republicans support that. Are you a democrat, Do you support the genocide in Gaza? Are you independent? Then do you not care about either Gaza or kids being detained? Are you a different party? Do you agree with everything your pay does?
I also get everyone has something that will cause them to not be friends with people. That’s your choice and I’m not saying you have to be friends with people. Just don’t be a hypocrite and pick one, two, or five things and hate an entire group of people because of it.
I hate 30% of what Christians have done or stand for. It doesn’t mean I hate all Christians. But that is a choice that I have made.
It’s a cute attempt at comparison.
If Biden had sold weapons like this before, if Gaza was occurring at Biden’s hands in 2016 having beaten dump, I would not have voted for him in 2020. In actuality, we have direct proof in 2016 onwards of caging babies on the Mexican border, yet your friends voted for him again without much hesitation.
I’m a democratic socialist, no I don’t support genocide and made that extremely clear to anyone when it came up. Do your friends similarly denounce baby caging? Especially considering the direct precedent in living memory?
Getting a tad childish?
Yes, yes they do denounce seperating kids from their families at the border. I’ve talked about it and other things we don’t like about our parties, what they are doing, and why we still vote for them. How we all dislike choosing the best of two bad options. How maybe a ranked choice system would be better.
You think blindly following one party vs another is any better? No, you think you on your high horse telling them they are scum for voting one way or another is better? How many life long Republicans have you gotten to vote blue? I’ve changed several peoples minds by talking with them, hearing them out, and not just assuming they are terrible people.
Dude you brought up stupid comparisons, people will disrespect you
I couldn’t care less about people respecting me. But why are they stupid comparisons in your opinion?
Sheesh, apparently I’m not the only one getting a bit high tension. Cool it. I feel strongly about bombing kids, and caging them. It should be obvious why.
I’m leaving this discussion, I realize I’m asking you to be frank with your friends, but most people are hesitant to. I hope you think about this, but it’s unlikely either of us will change, myself especially.
Take care.
