4. The doctor is fighting years of insidious propaganda.

Sun Aug 1, 2021, 12:52 PM

Aug 2021

People have been so indoctrinated by the far right that they risk their lives and the lives of their family to maintain their political purity. That is how much that they hate science, scientist, and anyone that they consider to the left of their politics. You have to wonder, if they are willing to kill their families over this issue, how much of a push would it take to go after you?

Every time, in the last 25 years, that you walked by someone who was listening, with eyes glazed, the hate speech of the Limbaughs of the world, you were watching this come to pass. My fear, and my judgement, is that we have not seen the worst of it yet.
