Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

I can currently point you to at least a dozen videos of pregnant women engulfing Tylenol as a middle finger to Trump.

Whether or not there is any real risk here, it is true that there are legitimate, ACADEMICALLY studied research showing a link, including by Harvard.

But, instead, liberal women will risk harming their child, on video, as a virtue signal against the orange man. Because TLHLIM

Those women are dipshits. But it’s not good governance to respond by doing lazy edgelord comedy online.
 
For someone who was so concerned with the response to COVID, I’d think you might understand the harm that can be done by a combative HHS department. They’re just doing the “trust us, we know better” bit but instead of decades of medical consensus they’ve just started picking a bunch of less-supported medicine and science and are aggressively messaging about how right they are about it.

This Administration and its supporters have this nasty habit of appealing to authority just as much as they (correctly) accuse the establishment of doing, but their authority is instead often random bullshit.

The medical experts in this country have lost all credibility.

We are all worse for it.

When they said racism was a bigger health threat than covid. When they said masks work and 6 feet was smart... its over for them

We are all on our own now.

But what you’re describing is a combination of two things:

1) Social policy and activism masquerading as public health policy.

2) The chaotic response to a unique and perplexing virus.

But I’m not actually here to argue the merits of the experts. I think based on the whole we live much, much longer and don’t die of or become permanently crippled by every disease and injury imaginable thing suggests they’ve gotten it at least *vaguely* right in a lot of respects, but I have plenty of criticisms of my own and I’m not trying to appeal to their authority here. What I’m suggesting is that replacing that authority with new experts that mostly just have less experience and evidence to support their new conclusions, and then they’re using the megaphone of the White House to do exactly what the government has always done and propagandize us.

Yes - our institutions used to mean something. Acedmia used to mean something.

They don't anymore. the "chaotic response" to a perplexing virus doesn't explain "racism is a bigger public health threat"

You can point a straight line to the Obama admin. Our government and experts can no longer be trusted on literally anything. From public health to "white supremacy is the biggest public threat"

it's over. Y'all blew it. It's your fault

We're on our own now

Hey "51 former intelligence experts said the hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinfo!"

Cool. We no longer can trust those intelligence experts, then

Same as the rest of em
 
When a professor wrote a study in 2020 explaining that cops dont kill unarmed black people at a higher rate than any other race... he was fired!

Cool, guess what? We dont trust academia anymore

We're on our own now
 
When scientists told us the world will be over in 2030 unless we pass the green new deal?

Well guess what, nobody listens to scientists anymore

Its not our fault. Its the scientists fault

You want to be a retard to in order to shill for a political position? Cool. Nobody with a brain trusts you anymore

(Leftists still trust them)
