Washington Post recently published a whopping eighteen articles—six of them just this week, comparing Donald Trump to Hitler after the Republican Presidential candidates’ remarks comparing communists and fascists to “vermin”. /3 pic.twitter.com/hzFhkQqq0Y
Post reporter Hannah Knowles also forwarded the Sun’s classification of Trump as “vermin”, quoting one of the Sun editorial writers who said classifying Trump as a “vermin” was an “inescapable conclusion”. /5 pic.twitter.com/0xGox1Vdnw
In December 2020, WaPo published a cartoon depicting all Republican officials who supported Trump as disgusting evil rats. /7 pic.twitter.com/WguH0YUggN
In 2017, Trump’s first year in office, WaPo dedicated an article to “Trump Rat”—a giant inflatable balloon depicting Donald Trump as a rat. /10 pic.twitter.com/FzUdteXDdu
The “giant inflatable rat with his face attached,” was given shout-outs in the other Post articles as well, including the big-time WaPo investigation titled “Melania is booed while speaking to students in Baltimore”. /12 pic.twitter.com/UuuvrAOIQq
Rubin also insulted Republicans not supporting Trump, calling them “rats” fleeing a sinking vessel. “No wonder the rats are fleeing the sinking Trump ship,” she said. /14
Despite having previously authored 3 WaPo articles describing Republicans—her political opponents—as vermin, Rubin has now authored 3 WaPo articles condemning Trump for describing his political opponents in the same language. /17
Poor Nate. He was so close to getting it right, but he had to bring in right wingers to blame for someone else’s stupidity and lies.
Is all that the scientific community's fault? No, definitely not. The right-wing and general anti-intellectualism play a role. But this was a HUGELY influential paper on the most important pandemic in a century, and the authors *didn't believe what they wrote*. It's a huge deal.
It's worse than just being terribly wrong about the consequences of alarmist claims made about anthropogenic global warming and an escalatory rebranding of that under the name of climate. It's their totalitarianism, demonizing of dissenting views on policy.
There are at least two problems causing distrust of scientists:
1. Ultracrepidarianism, i.e., scientists and other experts using their status as experts in one area to claim expertise in another area. Typically for political argument.
Trust in science hasn't declined. Trust in *scientists* has declined. Rightfully. Because they have abused their position to pursue politics, instead of science https://t.co/lJ0gIwkulz

But muh norms they whine hypocritically when Trump says mean stuff…..
This is why you keep receipts….
So spare me the outrage when Trump does the same. It just makes you look like a biased tool of the left, like Jen Rubin. A useful idiot is the term.
