So much this. If they truly felt he would be an absolute disaster, they would be happy to step aside and let him implement all his disastrous policies and say "told you so" when they failed.
mtswThe reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.

It often goes back to this for me. If you can afford to weaponize your wealth against segments of the population or enforce your will in Democracy then we should 100% be able to take your money. As an act of mercy. So we don’t have to put your head on a pike.

Another way to look at this policy is to realize that most of our current science funding goes to salarying trainees and supporting the education of scientists, and they are proposing we stop making new scientists.
David Burbach 🇺🇸New WH science policy. This snippet is typical of nearly all its examples applied materials science, computing, and biochemistry. An AI with a cool idea about Mars or quarks can't just imagine a probe or accelerator into being www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

As someone who has smiled through gritted teeth and eaten a fair amount of shit for good of country, it is past time for certain people to tie their bibs and start digging in
