Nature: What a Joe Biden presidency would mean for five key science issues.

[NNadir]

2. Well, with my Science subscription, I got a t-shirt (unsolicited) that read...

..."Facts are facts," which in normal times would not be controversial - as my Dermatologist pointed out to me when I wore it to get a lesion removed.

The fact that the idea that "facts are facts" is now a political statement points to the fact that the Republican party, the party of racist ignorance, hates science.

As scientists we are trained to see things as they are, and it is unavoidable that as such, we know about what the Republican Party is, which is about suppressing reality. In science, we are fast approaching 1930's Germany, and there is no question, none, that the historical Nazi party was much like the modern Republican/Nazi party inasmuch as it destroyed the scientific infrastructure of the country.
