It amazes me that American science is being dismantled by the Trump Republican fascist coup, and the media in the U.S. barely seems to comprehend what is going on. Trump and his Republican fascists are trying to create a neo-medieval society they control, and the oligarchs who are funding all this don’t care if American science is devastated, because they are not nationalists. They are internationalists, their scientific investments are international. Their allegiance is only to money their power. What they want is an uneducated, docile, fearful society of peasants they can dominate, just as the nobility of the Late Middle Ages (roughly 1300-1450/1500) controlled their peasants.
