They were polled, on election day. Most Americans want this, or didn't care enough to stop it. Potato, potahto.

This idea that the only way a citizen can disagree what their government is doing is by voting on election day needs to die.

I would guess that if you polled voters on election Day, and asked them why they voted for Trump, science funding wouldn't even come up as a topic. They would probably talk about high prices, or criminal aliens, or how they didn't like Harris.

		They voted for a massive grab-bag of obviously bad stuff. They may not have examined every single item in it, but they obviously wanted this style of bad stuff to happen. This action is aligned with their revealed preferences.

		Doesn't change the fact that the US voted for this.
