The reason politicians don’t like to leave is likely similar to why they got in there and stayed in the first place: love of power. I think similar to federal judges on senior status. No one credibly believes professors wield the same kind of power.

The epistemology of fascism is not cult-like, rigid dogmatism. It's "lol-nothing-matters, they're all a bunch of liars" cynicism. That is the mindset that will pliantly accept whatever authoritarian excesses Trump engages in, and both Trump and Elon are 100% aware of that.

At best these cuts are due to selfish ignorance: “I didn’t benefit personally or directly, so cut it.” The cynical part of me says it’s being cut because it helps kids think, learn, and communicate about history (and research in general). We now have politicians who want to stop that.

Very true. And maybe I’m making an obvious point, but the “prosperity” being touted isn’t meant to be for all Americans, and is dependent on going back to selective oppression. And I think those currently in power understand this.

A healthy dose of cheese puns? Check! Witty repartee between groups of friends (a Scalzi specialty it seems)? Check! Thoughtful and moving writing on what is important to folks in uncertain times? Double check! It’s a book full of humor and warm humanity. Good stuff!
