   Garbage people like Vance and DeSantis have gotten into power thanks in large part to their elite educations.

   Now they want to attack the very institutions that elevated them, making it impossible for others after them to reap the same rewards and advantages.

   This is, in addition, to the damage to health and life that will be caused by erosion of scientific and medical research.

   It's fake populism that directly harms the people MAGA claims to champion.

     "There may well be normalcy again. But it lies on the other side—not in accommodation to this malevolent insanity, run by lackeys and toads. The risk of overreaction is trivial compared to the risks of accommodation.”

     --Mark Greif (Stanford U.)
