Watching the technocrat STEM supremacy-type conservatives fight it out with the back-to-nature, government should never do anything except enforce the 10 Commandments, science is the tool of Satan-style conservatives in the comments is always a treat.
At least one correctly notes that it was a Democrat-majority Congress that cancelled the Superconducting Super Collider in '93. I wonder how many of the Clinton administration's playbooks are left lying around in DC, the Clintons should probably sue DOGE for plagiarizing their ideas.
But the Reagan administration sure was a different time it's like the right simply hasn't really known what to do with itself for 30 years, until Trump showed up to give this cat-herding exercise a heavy dose of identity politics to bond over.
