Bravo.

Don’t vote for science alone. Vote for character, truth, integrity and patriotism. Unfortunately far too many feel that science is just another political talking point.

Science, demonstrable and provable facts and technological advancement all have a well known liberal bias and should all be banned.

It’s mind boggling that so many people these days think science can be opinionated

Make Science Patriotic Again

Bill Nye is a snake oil salesman, not a scientist. He has none of professional ethics that a true scientist has.
Look up ActiveION, he endorsed it and personally sold it, and its complete pseudoscience garbage.

I mean I get the sentiment but when one party actively disavows reality at every turn, it’s very much partisan.

As a scientist, I’m not sure I love the idea that “science is patriotic”. That seems kinda weird and jingoistic to me. But I agree with Bill’s choice for president.

Science is not patriotic by any means though, scientific facts doesnt give a shit about any nation. What a strange take.

Of course science is patriotic. Some of the previous presidents were pro-science

You can buy politicians, you can buy scientists 🤷, but anyways who is Ja Rule endorsing?

Even if this tool was an actual scientist, his statement would still be idiotic & non-scientific!

I wouldn’t say it’s patriotic either though. Science is science.

Trump “bigly” fumbled on masks during the pandemic. He had a golden opportunity to grift and say it was the manly and patriotic thing to do. He could have sold so many MAGA themed ones and a lot of people would have worn them had Trump persuaded his base. But he privately tried on a mask and it purportedly messed up the layers of makeup and spray tan on his face, so he immediately ditched that idea from a vanity perspective.
He also could have endorsed vaccines, but they came out after he lost the election and so he didn’t do that out of revenge. It wasn’t until much later that he half-heartedly spoke favorably of the vaccines but started just saying more or less that it’s personal choice after getting booed the times he spoke semi-positively of vaccines. He waited way too long.

If your beliefs make you deny scientific facts and the statements of experts then you should really reevaluate your life choices

Um. No. Stop trying to steal what patriotism is. Science is very important. Very. But it’s not patriotic.

Oh I didn’t realize he survived the hot air balloon accident
Patriotic science was thing in Germany in the 1940s also and throughout the life of the Soviet Union. Let’s just say it didn’t end well in both cases.

Just want to remind people that even Mr. Roger’s widow of Pennsylvania (who has since passed aware herself, Rest in Peace) said that Trump represents everything her husband stood against.
Around Pittsburgh in particular Mr. Rogers is a hero with statues dedicated to him. Might be worth reminding some of those swing voters of this tidbit.

Can Bill define a woman? Does Bill believe in natural immunity? Questions like these are how you figure out who believes in science and who doesn’t.
