Moonbats have mainstreamed their lunatic ideology in part through a Trojan horse strategy of politicizing institutions that have nothing to do with politics. Sports is an obvious example. The difference between MSNBC and ESPN is that the former is limited in how much damage it can inflict, given that it is preaching to a choir of leftist kooks. Another example is the formerly respected publication Scientific American, which attempts to mask woke politics behind scientific pretensions.

The leftist propaganda rag issues Newspeak Dictionary updates, gins up hysteria over the weather, informs us that we like climate radicalism, hypes drag queens, racializes NFL injuries, equates failing to subject children to sex change procedures to Nazism, and even proclaims that sex organs are merely a social construct.

No one will be surprised to learn that Scientific American, which endorsed the disastrous Joe Biden, also endorses Kamala Harris.

Equally unsurprising is that the endorsement consists largely of shopworn lies and distortions: Trump told people to inject bleach, no state allows the killing of babies who have been born (the most egregious example of those that do is Tim Walz’s Minnesota), J.D. Vance dismissed school shootings as a “fact of life,” Project 25 is “devious and divisive” and will be implemented by Trump, et cetera. But the piece does make a good case — for Trump:

• Harris wants to socialize medicine through expansion of Medicare.
• Harris wants to raise taxes even higher.
• Harris had a role in driving up inflation through the grotesquely extravagant wasteful spending imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act.
• Harris wants to fix prices in the pharmaceutical industry, which will retard innovation and possibly result in shortages.
• Harris is a fanatical advocate of abortion.
• Harris wants to take people’s guns away.
• Harris would raise energy costs.
• Harris would exploit the global warming hoax to increase the power and scope of government, thereby reducing our standard of living.
• Harris would push costly electric vehicle idiocy.

As for Trump:

• Trump would allegedly repeal ObamaCare, thereby lowering insurance prices.
• Trump might scale back federal bloat and overreach.
• Trump acknowledges that the “climate emergency” is a hoax.
• Trump pulled the USA out of the suicide pact known as the Paris Agreement.

Then there is this:

Trump appointed the conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, removing the constitutional right to a basic health-care procedure.

Aside from the ghoulish depravity of characterizing killing inconvenient children as “a basic health-care procedure,” there was never a constitutional right to abortion. If the Constitution says whatever leftists on the Supreme Court would like it to say, we may as well not have a constitution.

Scientific American seals the deal by denouncing Trump as “a convicted felon” — reminding us that he is the guy running against tyrants who want to throw him in prison for opposing them.

Thank you Scientific American, for encouraging people to vote for Trump twice as hard.
