🧵 As a former Republican consultant who left in 2015, I'm often asked why Trump and his minions are willingly destroying science, K12 education, universities, international organizations, public broadcasting, and social welfare institutions.

There are many reasons, but the main ones are psychological rather than ideological. They struggle with abstract thinking and are afraid of the world...

IMO leading members of the Democrats should simply promise to hand back Greenland under a future Democrat administration, no matter what the current US president does. That'd completely undermine him. Where are they?
