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 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.

    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.’

    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

    THE DEMOCRATS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RISE OF TRUMP AND THE FASCISTS. THEY ARE A CONTROLLED OPPOSITION PARTY CURRENTLY CONFIRMING HIS NOMINEES THEY WON’T EVEN DO THE BARE MINIMUM AND OBSTRUCT. THE DEMOCRATS ARE COMPLICIT AND COMPLACENT IN GENOCIDE AND THE RISE OF FASCISM. THE TECHNOLOGY USED IN PALESTINE WILL BE USED AGAINST US NEXT. THE DEMOCRATS WONT SAVE YOU BUT WILL INSTEAD GIVE A LEGAL PATH TO THE FASCISTS TO HUNT YOU DOWN AND MURDER YOU.

      Answer the question or admit you’re an unhinged cortisol addict who is literally getting off on the thought of pain and suffering being brought down on you and everyone else.

      Seriously, just re-read your responses. Just progressively more and more doomerism the more I corner you. You have no hope or plan for the future outside of accepting the boot on your neck and getting frothing mad at the people trying actually to prevent the backsliding into fascism.

      I am looking for a path forward, while you are giving up and embracing defeat.

      Answer the question. Not for me, but for your own personal growth.
