What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Yep.

They did more than just go along. They kept him out of jail so he could run again, then helped him win. Now they are helping him subvert democracy.
