"Why Nature Supports Joe Biden For President"

TDS
   Joe Biden thinks that men can become women by saying so. That is the most unscientific idea to enter into public debate in my lifetime. Nothing Trump has ever said has come close to that.
   Biden also buys climate change apocalypticism. Now, personally I suspect that anthropogenic climate change is overblown. I'm skeptical about the IPCC and its output. However, I don't think people can be blamed for accepting what is plausibly the scientific consensus with respect to such issues. So I don't think Biden is epistemically blameworthy for believing what the IPCC says. However, Biden also believes that ACC is an "existential threat" to humans. So far as I can tell, even the IPCC does not believe that. It tends to say things like: climate change is a "threat to human wellbeing." 
   Then of course there's CRT and associated race pseudoscience, including hysteria about police use of deadly force. Actual statistics are simply ignored. "White supremacy" is everywhere...and unfalsifiably so. The Marxist roots of such views are always obvious.
   Trump's views and actions on COVID were basically in line with the advice he got from Fauci, Birx etc. To the extent that he balked at it, he was right to do so. Of course everything he ever did or said provoked shrieking from the left. E.g.: shutting down some travel. (Racist!!! Of course.) And that's all Nature is really doing, too. 
   This is PC. Political views come first, then comes the rationalization. Politics is the dog. Science the tail. And politics must pervade everything. Even science must contort itself to fit leftist preconceptions.
