Trump on Biden: "He'll listen to the scientists."

[grumpyduck]

From his campaign rally in Carson City, Nevada (via HufPost):

“If you vote for Biden, he will surrender your jobs to China. He will surrender your future to the virus. He’s going to lock down, he’s going to want us to lock down,” Trump said.

“He’ll listen to the scientists,” Trump continued. “If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression, instead of, we’re like a rocket ship. Take a look at the numbers.”

Once more, I have to wonder how dumb he thinks his followers are. Listen to scientists? Sure, okay, some of his followers will swallow that without batting an eye, but I refuse to believe some of them aren't turned off when they hear that bullshit. Like, when you go to the doctor, do you do what they tell you to do, or cuss them out for infringing on your constitutional rights by wanting you to take your medicine?

And how would you feel if you knew your doctor's most recent 210,000 patients HAVE DIED?

4. "He'll listen to the scientists" - Fascists don't like scientists

Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action's sake. Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical
attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Goering's alleged statement ("When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun&quot to the frequent use of such expressions as "degenerate intellectuals," "eggheads," "effete snobs,"
"universities are a nest of reds." The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.

5. Hey Donny, next time you're on AF1 don't listen to the scientists

Open the windows at 30,000 feet. Have the pilots do corkscrews at low speed/low altitude. Do not listen to the scientists.
