@grumpygamer The guy went to law school at Yale. He understands the value of expertise. This is simply pandering. He doesn't actually believe it any more than he believes Trump won in 2020.
What's more alarming is that it's the kind of branding that works with prospective voters. But this is what happens after decades of derision aimed at education and intellectualism, which I suspect was largely motivated by political and business elites opposed to climate action.
@brettk @grumpygamer A lot of people go to college just to get the paper and party a lot. They just say the crap they need to to pass the tests but they don't actually accept any of it. They can get straight A's in biology and be creationists. Literally don't believe or accept science, but they can figure out the right answers for the test. Lies as just a part of how they have to progress in life.
