Summary
Trump has reportedly slashed funding for the NIH’s Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimer’s Research, leading to layoffs, including its incoming director.
The center, named after former GOP Senator Roy Blunt, was a Republican-backed initiative to advance Alzheimer’s and dementia research. Despite previously championing the program, Republicans have remained silent on the cuts.
Experts warn weakening the center will significantly set back Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research.
Critics argue the move contradicts past GOP support and lacks justification from either party or scientific leaders.
I’m queer and visibly gender non conforming. I’m not suffering yet but I will be soon because democrats are controlled opposition. Nobody is coming to save us. Liberals are out to brunch. They’re confirming his nominees! Fuck them!
I’m an antizionist jew who’s been anti Israel for 20 fucking years. I don’t own a soda stream for obvious fucking reasons. That genocide isn’t staying over there, dumb liberal. All that tech will be used against me soon. Fuck liberals.
Amazing! Glad to see you’ve fully embraced masochism. Little upset that you’re forcing it on everyone else though.
Here is a question:
How did you imagine withholding your vote would help the Palestinians?
Walk me through what you thought would immediately happen when the democrats lost and how you think the resulting half-decade is going to go than if you’d ‘voted blue no matter who’?
I really want to hear from you on those two points. What did you think the immediate response would be, and what do you think will happen over the next five years as a result of the democratic loss.
For bonus points: explain how these results put the Palestinians in a better place than if Kamala had won.
Explain to me what the point of voting for democrats is when all they’re doing in “opposition” is confirming his nominees.
They won’t even do the bare minimum. Obstruction. They won’t even obstruct. Fuck them and fuck you too. They’re not an opposition party and voting for them would have the same outcome.
They wouldn’t be voting on Trump nominees if Trump didn’t win
The Democrats are a coalition that includes conservative and centrists as well as leftists. Their presence isn’t a reason to hand total control to party that instituted a muslim ban.
Oh clearly, they’d be firing hundreds of thousands of public servants, specifically black and women as DEI. 🙄
I was good and answered your questions. You should answer mine, I’m incredibly curious about what an intelligent person thought and thinks will happen to the Palestinians now that the racist sexist paty has total control, and why you think that outcome wasn’t worth preventing.
Also, a little Wikipedia history lesson for you 🧠🔥
During the Weimar Republic, the left-wing political spectrum was divided between the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). This division significantly weakened the left and indirectly facilitated the rise of the Nazi Party (NSDAP).
The KPD viewed the SPD as “social fascists” and prioritized opposing them over combating the Nazis. The KPD believed that the collapse of the Weimar Republic under Nazi rule would hasten a communist revolution. This ideological stance led them to refuse collaboration with the SPD against the Nazis, even during critical elections and political crises[1][4][6].
This lack of unity between leftist parties created a fragmented opposition, which allowed the Nazis to consolidate power more effectively. The SPD, while supporting democracy, was unable to counter both the far-right and far-left threats simultaneously[1][3].

They would be enacting the same agenda. Genocide, anti immigrant, anti trans. They’re a fraudulent party.
Which is why there’s no point in voting for them because they don’t stand for shit.
What musk is doing is completely illegal. What are the democrats doing to stop it? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOTHING!!!
Don’t give me a fucking “history lesson” about the Weimar Republic you dumb fucking liberal. The liberals fought the communists and enabled the fascists. You seemed to learn all the wrong lessons just like the complicit democrat collaborators.
The dodging of the previous question is so loud it’s deafening.
You don’t actually think your decision would produce better material results. You cared only for the emotional kick you’re getting out of it, you’re addicted to youe brain’s own stress chemicals.
You must’ve felt so empty during the Biden administration and didn’t know why. Then Oct 7th happened and BAM your brain floods with norepinephrine and GABA with a little seratonin chaser. You wanted more and more! Just gaza wasn’t enough for you, they had to fuck up the west bank too! Shit bring it all home! The worse the news gets the better your high!!!
I cited my sources, you didn’t. My beliefs are based in reality, yours are based one whichever gives you the most cortisol.
You’re literally a lib with a horrific misunderstanding of history.

Like I said, the liberals sided with “lesser evil” fascists than work with communists until the very end.
Homie, in this scenario you are the one who supported the nazi party through your inaction.
I didn’t pick the center right or far right option over the far left. I choose the furthest left option that was offered to me each time.
Let me reiterate that:
I support the most leftist candidate in evety single election I have the opportunity to participate in. You stay home and let the furthest right candidate win.
What do you think happens when a party in a polarized system like the US loses? They shift their positions closer to the the party that beat them.
You want to know why there is no decent left-wing party in the US? Because Ronald Reagan in the 80s beat them so badly they had to run breakneck speed to the right to win back voters.
When the Democratic party loses, they don’t think ‘Boy golly, i guess I better try to appeal to the leftists who statistically hardly ever participate in elections’ they think ‘I need to be more like the winner.’
Also: answer the fucking questions
I don’t owe you shit debate me bro and I’m so fucking sick of fucking out to brunch liberals who stupidly think these people give a flying fuck about their law and order and decorum.
The SDP put the nazis in power by supporting the “lesser evil” conservatives over the communists.(sound familiar?) In America, the democrat party put the fascists in power by rigging the 2016 and 2020 primaries away from Bernie. They handed trump the election in 2016 and 2024, and had covid never happened trump would have won in 2020 unless the democrats also ran a populist. When Obama bailed out Wall Street in 2008 instead of Main Street he created the material conditions that allows fascism to accelerate. And he did a great job closing Guantánamo - soon to be a concentration camp for migrants and god knows who else. And all the executive branch power grabs since I’ve been alive that congress and the judiciary never bothered to stop. There’s been so many fucking off ramps missed that it’s intentional at this point. The wealthy want to kill most of us “useless eaters” off and rule the rubble in their “network states”. You don’t fucking get it and never fucking will. You’re a smug fucking liberal who doesn’t listen to marginalized people with the generational trauma of genocide no less.
God you’re so fucking dumb. What a winning fucking strategy. Are you a fucking boomer? What the fuck is this “yeah ratcheting to the right is a great idea! Let’s be fascist lite!” Fucking mask off moment right there! Thanks for proving my point about the democrats being UTTERLY FUCKING USELESS TO VOTE FOR. vote for the party of stabbing instead of shooting! Fuck outta here you weirdo debate me bro
