|content=@AlexBerezow Likely an astute call; it sounds mostly correct. I would bet you are also younger. I’m further convinced the recent strengthening of the anti-science movement on the political Left may weirdly be influencing a shift on the political right.

|content=Thanks for asking Alex. “Welfare Queens in White Lab Coats” is an oft repeated epithet since the Reagan-Bush era in anti-tax circles. Certainly Prof Rustum Roy said it. RR’s NSF Director boosted it. But I‘m referring to its amplification by free marketeers who ignore mkt failure. https://t.co/rj4YDMmpTg

|content=As for boosts in Scientific funding, I’m not saying all US Republicans are anti-science funding. On the contrary. Many see it as an extension of security funding or competitiveness. But what drives many scientists away is an unwillingness to be careful about public goods &amp; taxes.

|content=@AlexBerezow Well, given that you hadn’t yet heard the expression before I’m thinking you may want to look at the history before retooling the implicit accusation that this was nothing. Erich Bloch wasn’t a nut. Nor was Roy.

[You can [[Steelmanning|steelman]] your argument by pointing out Proxmire as a Dem.]

|content=@AlexBerezow I’m sorry! I’m only aware of your book on the anti-scientific left (which is a huge problem as well), but not any work on the “anti-scientific” right. What do you write about Erich Bloch? I’m curious because I also covered him in my work. Can’t wait to discuss.
