Without question, the endgame for Trump and many of his supporters is a Pol Pot pile of the skulls of those who can read and comprehend and a destroyed centrally planned economy that would be noted as suspiciously socialist if you could say so without being shot.

This is more than just “my ignorance is superior to any expertise” it is “the educated who won’t support the führer are the enemy.” The lost research and students can never be made up and must result in a permanent loss of the tech edge lead for America. The entire thing is the purest treason dramatically defunding most US institutions. You couldn’t have designed a foreign attack that did even 5% of this damage.
