Many will endure hardships. For me (and committed colleagues), it means the struggle to defend science + counter antiscience forces becomes more complicated/daunting. This time we’ll need better support from the societies, college presidents, elected leaders who care. Tough times

ATM very happy I didn't move to America. Like I said yesterday it absolutely does not matter if you are catering to people's needs (including the US economy being much better) if all they hear is a sea of misinformation.

Losing control of the information environment means that no matter how bad Trump will treat Americans, how terrible they will suffer, there will be, and cannot be, a reckoning. The worse he gets, they more they will blame the scapegoats that he offers them in his stead.

This. It is not about disregarding the concerns of “regular people”. Mostly everyone was better off under democratic policies. It is all about misinformation and controlling the narrative
