I am an NIH-funded biomedical scientist with conservative leanings. I know at least a dozen scientists (a small closeted minority) who voted for Trump, largely because of frustrations with DEI and extreme wokeness that had permeated every aspect of University life. Each one of us deeply regrets their vote for Trump and are utterly ashamed of it. We are absolutely horrified at how mindlessly destructive this admin has been to scientific institutions. They are single-handedly destroying the STEM dominance US established over decades. Average Americans simply do not realize that we are now on the verge of a precipitous decline in STEM. We all admit that the warnings about Trump/MAGA were on target, and the thing we argue about now is whether the damage is even reversible. All the Lefty overreach was annoying as hell but the MAGA disdain for science is 100X worse.

Through mutual aid, through civil disobedience, through active resistance and organizing. We can overcome We would never overcome the moral stain of re-electing genocide. It would have undercut any moral authority. It would have metastasized As godawful as Trump is, it was the better outcome. Now, let's organize to bury fasicsm (againk, but this time for real and that means ending capitalism)
