i do not understand the ideological impetus for this policy (or the NIH research freeze). it’s not clientelism, his constituents are the main recipients. it’s a death maximization strategy. like he’s entered a contract with some dark god and must deliver them souls

Trump: "FEMA is gonna be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I'd rather see the states takes care of their own problems."

but for states & nations.
They are trying to rewrite science into the the party propaganda.
I thought it was obvious.
maga is fueled by hate, other people who sat out are losing the same way they did in 2022, and the rest are suffering because of that collective stupidity
How do we think he survived Covid and an assassination attempt? My understanding is Lucifer keeps his end of his bargains.
death and destruction is the goal.
elon has probably promised trump some sort of technology to make him an immortal god-emperor, knowing full well the old coot is senile and dying.
I learned that lesson as a young adult, decades ago. Always unnerving to watch grown men older than yourself do things you swore never to do while one third their age.
Things make more sense when you know their goal. Horrific, but you can see the path
Also: see Project 2025.
Maybe RCF Trump thinks he'll be able to empty the state coffers into his own, assuming he ever leaves and that there is a meaningful different between state and cunt, and forcing the states to start again from scratch maximises his potential gold diving pool.
At this point he's just a convenient figurehead.
I thought you said you didn't understand? Sounds like you've grasped the essence of the situation
For real tho: Cons have been fulminating against FEMA since the Clinton days. It's absolutely ideological in a "cut off your nose to spite your face" sort of way; same as the NIH, CDC, FDA stuff
Part of COVID conspiracy is fauci used NIH to make COVID in a lab to make a fake crisis to expand vaccines and test government control
So no we get dismantling the NIH
Compost the bastard instead.
His base is interested in punishing the people they believe hurt them.
You can’t spell malignant without MAGA.
The king threatens their closest friends; the friends fight, and give up even more to king. It solidifies the king's power over those close to them.
It's basic Machiavelli.
Putin wants to rebuild his Soviet Empire.
That requires the West to be in chaos.
That's it.
That's literally all of it.
or have trump deploy ours on his behalf.

Say his name!
“Putin”
Anything that weakens the U.S. strengthens Russia.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

(Or, just as easy, it requires "being dumb," and putting the guy who does believe that in charge of the NIH.)
No other explanations needed, really.
They've been describing "biolabs" as some sinister thing that must be germ warfare for years, between the "Ukrainian biolabs" and Covid lab-leak nonsense
That’s it.
It's a religious belief in some mythical "Free Market".
Musk fucking HATES scientists who do not work for him, and those in academia especially.
This is exactly like him disconnecting servers when he took over Twitter. Only with our entire biomedical research stack.
Why send over ICBMs with nukes when you can innoculate the US with a cancer?
If you think that way, it makes perfect sense.
1. destroy government agencies
2. use the money to enrich the already rich—ASAP, while there’s little functional opposition
3. wave their hands and say “SEE? government doesn’t work!”
4. hook up friends with big gov’t contracts to provide service worse than gov’t did
My money's either on Tzeentch, random acts of "God" with the dice loaded to hose you is probably the most directly within his purview.
2. control of the government means you get to control the money hose
3. you direct the money hose into your mouth
