Here Are Some of the Best Signs From the March for Science

My sister, wv-ewe, yelled at me for expressing this, but…and i dont mean to piss on protest whether its the womens march or the science march…but….wont these nice folks just go right back to their comfortable-sleep once a Dem gets into office? Where were they when Clinton and Obama were destroying the poor and handing over power to the banks and corporations who then turn around and destroy the biosphere?

Sorry, couldnt help it. Thats how i feel.

Well, later, down the road, after we win, you can have them purged.

==================

Good. I’m keeping a purge-list. All the liberals have to go. And the conservatives. And the Alt-righters and the rightwing fringe folks. And any religious people. And the centrists, of course. And the new-agers. And the apathetic folks. And all the rich people. And the pro-corporatists. And anyone who likes malls.

So thats just a good start. The entire list is not complete yet.

Well, are we allowed to like malls that have an IMAX theater?

Plus you gotta be careful with liberals. I know plenty of people who call themselves ‘liberal’ but they are really leftist.

I don’t know.

But the first order of business is to stop the hemorrhaging.

We can worry about long term patient outcomes later.

Well, as i keep trying to tell the evil-liberal-ewe, the fact that i express my feelings about this on a little message board does not mean i have the power to shake up the Womens marchers or the Nerd Marchers. I mean, i cant DO ‘anything’ to help or hurt the marchers. So there’s that. I’m no threat to the ‘movements’ 🙂

The thing that infuriates me is — and you know damn well this is true — the nerds will go right back to sleep as soon as a Hillary or a Biden or whoever-Dem gets elected. They think Trump is the enemy. But Trump did not begin the destruction of the biosphere. Clinton, Obama, Bush, etc all had a hand in it. So where were they when the Dems were giving all this power to those wonderful Corporations and Banks ?

Yes that is all true and I understand your frustration. I share it.

Things most likely will go back to the way they were.

And there would be no marches or protests if Hillary had won and all those protesters would be happily living their lives while the biosphere slowly died.

All that is true. But right now, to me, that does not matter.

That is tomorrow’s worry. Today we have to address the issues that are right in front of our face. That’s about all we can do.

Or we can give up and wait for the inevitable. Just let it happen. I’m not quite there yet, though.

Well is it THAT bad of an idea to applaud their protest while at the same time pointing out to THEM that they sat on their asses while the Democrats were destroying the biosphere and the poor ? Is it really that bad of an idea to call them out on that fact?

I’m not saying it’s a bad idea. I’m just saying my first priority is to halt/reverse the anti-science/environment measures being taken by the Trump administration.
