  1. Nothing makes trump supporters angrier than telling them the truth.

  3. Stand up for what you *believe.*

    In the coming days, look for the loud mouths that might not have all the answers, but can still tell right from wrong. They’ll be willing to learn.

    I applaud this person taking action to demonstrate their beliefs, and I also applaud the beliefs themselves.

  4. Theyre braindead inbred nazi pig fuckers. I’m not resigning.

  6. So, we as a society are going to spend the next 4 years coddling a group of people who voted for a President based on vibes and hating a nebulous other. No, I’m not going to sanewash this and people are going to find out the hard way. Let a dozen eggs cost $20 bucks once he deports the majority of the agricultural workforce, let him and Netanyahu turn Palestine in a distant memory, let every minority group who switched votes for Trump find out what he truly thinks of them. I’m not cheering for the innocent people who are going to suffer, I’m probably going to end up in one of RFK’s “wellness farms” due to being a trans woman and therefore a “slave to Big Pharma”, but it took Poland years for them to realize that fascism sucks and vote out PiS. We need to learn the hard way, I suppose.

    It’s only been two weeks and people are already regretting their vote. It’s going to be a long four years.

  7. As if any of them will ever read a single word in an issue of Scientific American.

  8. Telling the truth should not be a stepdownworthy offense.

  9. I will not be making excuses or coddling Trump supporters. Fuck’em. They gave us hell the last 4 years

  10. If there’s any problem with the left this is it- Republicans are out there calling every gay person in existence pedophiles but the needle doesn’t move- An editor calls people who vote for a fascist fascist and they have to step down.

  11. Meanwhile, Scientific American presents article after article establishing that Trump supporters are fascists and bigoted. Scientifically speaking.

  14. Truth to power has consequences in a dictatorship. Ask Navalny.

  15. Rapist, fraudster, liar, fascist Trump gets to be president but a lefty scientist speaks truth and loses job. This timeline is cooked.

  16. She shouldn’t have.MAGA says terrible stuff all the time and proudly so. We need to fight back instead of apologize for the truth.

  17. Oh so MAGA is okay with insulting entire groups of people based on their race which is something that can’t be controlled but getting called out on it is offensive to them?

    I can’t stop being Latino.

    They can stop being racist.

    Who are the real snowflake?

  18. The cost of telling the truth in a society full of lies.

  19. The left needs to stop resigning over things like this republicans certainly don’t. We have one side that tries to be civil and fair and one that uses every dirty trick it can think of. We will keep losing to the far right fascists and bigots if we keep trying to take the high road.

  20. Shouldn’t have stepped down. A maga republican wouldn’t have, had they criticized dems. Dems gotta quit taking the high road.

  21. Stop stepping down, and stop apologizing.  MAGA never backs down, democrats and the sane must do the same.

  22. Trump supporters are fascists. They didn’t make Trump any better by electing him. They just degraded the presidency, the country, and themselves.

  23. WHY is she stepping down? Not like Republicans believe in science. wtf

  25. Why is it ok for magats to do this but not Democrats? I would have never apologized if would have said “ get over it snowflakes” take a page out of their play book. NEVER APOLOGIZE ( unless you made a mistake) which your opinion is NEVER a mistake.

  34. I hate how the right wing are always saying such things about the left, and they get elected President for it, but then when someone says something like this about the right-wing they are out there with pitchforks. It’s a fact that many people voted for Trump cause he a fascist and a bigot. The Right Wing ecosystem has been grooming millions of Americans into it for decades now.

  35. I don’t know why the left is always held to a standard the right refuses to embrace.

  36. There are no rules anymore. The republicans violated all the rules and we did not.

    We have to take the gloves off.

    All she did was describe literal reality.
