      That’s gonna be tough. Saying this as a recent M.S. graduate of a FL university, I got the hell out. I’m starting a PhD program very soon, but there’s absolutely no way I’m doing it in a state where I’m reasonably worried that the next piece of legislation is going to result in Desantis’ brownshirts arresting me for thought crimes. Red states are dangerous places for academics.

        Every non GOP person needs to leave these dangerous states and then we do all the things to the remaining GOP populace that speaking of violate the T.O.S. of this site / forum.

          The US also needs to rethink the way the electoral college works. Cos those GOP states still have ability to set federal law that apply to all.

          I’ve been rather hoping that Cali starts to discuss secede from the union (I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find one the the far right states tried to do it first).

        If I told you there are people with MS degrees (that is MS not MA) who believe now the earth is flat, what would your reactions be? I ask because there are many who believe formal education in science serves as immunization to stupidity. It doesn’t!
