What's the right word for science phobic?
Luddite?
Don't you slander Luddites that way. The Luddites were a worker's rights movement.
Go look up how they were defeated.
I think that's more about technology than science
Closest I can find is gnosiophobia, the fear of knowledge/learning. Was just going to use religious, but we know he's not that, pretense notwithstanding.
Moron fits nicely enough.
I dunno.
But… is the right word for “all the phobias” panphobic?
It might be, but... shit, now what do I call my severe fear of cookware?
Corningphobia?
according to an unreliable source, Tiganiphobia is the fear of cookware.... or you can lump it in with the fear of cooking- Mageirocophobia
Got bad oil burns a couple summers ago while cooking. I won't use my stove anymore. I just microwave stuff or use my countertop combo oven/air fryer thing.
Just "Phobic"
Describes conservatives perfectly.
The Party of Fear and Hate
What's the word for "doing the right thing" phobic and "being a decent person" phobic?
Ah I think that's just called being a republican.
Scientiphobic? It at least jams the right Latin words together.
At this point, what aren't they scared of?
That's just because they still feel safe in public bigotry against trans folks. They still have all the old bigotries too; Muslims, atheists, gays, non protestant/evangelical Christians, black people, etc they just know if they come out publically against those demographics they'll never win an election. So they use coded language, instead of the n word in public they say DEI, diversity, urban, etc. When ranting against trans folks in public they try to equivocate how people dress with being overtly sexual because that's the same bs their pastor or political leader told them to think. The reason they scapegoat trans folks is because they are rare so most people especially in low population rural areas don't have any trans friends or interact with trans folks on a regular basis to correct the isolationist demonization pushed by many churches and political conservatives.
They are coming for the majority of America, too. One way or another, most people will fall outside the narrow inner circle that is considered a "real" Merrikan.
I'm definitely not white or straight enough for Project 2025.
It reminds me of a certain country in the 1920s that had chosen a small segment of the population as superior...hmmm...which country was that again? Dutchland?
/s, kinda
Have you not heard Biden Old?
This meme is going to hit a lot harder a couple years from now when they're sending everyone that Trump and his doners hate to concentration camps.
Yeah no shit this isn't news
The GOP ~~'s proposed national platform~~ is extremely transphobic
The GOP is transphobic, not transformer.
Sounds about right as they say.
