Project 2025 would sabotage science-based policies that address climate change, the environment, abortion, health care access, technology and education. It would impose religious and conservative ideology on the federal civil service. Read Scientific American's analysis of its threats: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/project-2025-plan-for-trump-presidency-has-far-reaching-threats-to-science/
Project 2025 calls for transforming federal institutions into “hard targets” for “woke culture warriors.” It tears down policies to curb climate change, even though a majority of Americans endorse climate action. It advocates “a biblically based definition of marriage.”
@laurahelmuth The so-called #biblical definition of #marriage includes polygamy, incest, forcing rape victims to marry their rapist, chattel or slave marriages, and occasionally monogamy amongst consenting adults.
When some nutter tells you they want to see the "biblical definition of marriage" forced on people, ask them which one.
@laurahelmuth Project 2025 will turn the US into Afghanistan.
@laurahelmuth SCOTUS already effectively scuttled science-based policies with their recent gutting of the Chevron deference.
@laurahelmuth I can't help thinking of the Hitler regime's attitude to science - it wasn't independent: it served the party. I realise there are important differences, but also some similar attitudes.
@laurahelmuth @sps Trump is a Ferengi and will do anything for money from lobbyists. With Melon Husk now donating to Trump, expect some revision to the anti-electric car policies that were purchased by legacy car manufacturers and oil companies. So there will be a biding war between them on who can pay trump the most money to get their way. Trump wins either way because his sole goal is to monetize his stay at 1600 Pennsylvania.
@laurahelmuth My nutter father-in-law once told me he didn't believe God would let humans tamper with the atmosphere.
Apparently mass genocide is totally fine, as is the enslavement of entire races & nuclear war, but when it comes to the creep of #FossilFuel pollution slowly changing the environment, his god is like, "WHOA! HOLD ON THERE! NOT ON MY WATCH!
But instead of doing something about the source of the problem he just magically makes all the consequences go away?
Umm...
@laurahelmuth it's important that everyone vote this election and every single one after it to make sure policies like these are challenged.
