so Jim is in the pocket of the Fentanyl people.. they must be the ones hooking him up with the ghoulish pall oozing from that skinbag draped over his skeleton..
This was the intent of the inquiries.
However, I think the title is a bit misleading. I wouldn't say the research is "buckling". It's definitely been a headache, and sure there are some people who would rather not deal with the ever-increasing death threats, but that applies to many areas of research.
The question is how they're going to try and stop funding research into this. The research around this is especially important from a national security perspective, because it's become easier than ever to slide propaganda into social media and news media. If you've got enough resources, you can likely sway elections even easier than before.
Yeah, you can kind of play chess with a lot of GOP stratagems and it gets increasingly hard to see what moves are left for them. Keep the base stupid enough to win votes - sure, but they're at the point of fanaticism over Trump that without him there is no GOP. No one is going to listen to the Jim Jordans or Matt Gaetz types because they are no one in this new world. So why continue keeping them dumb? They have to see how once you get all the monkeys riled up what will happen. They aren't ruling the new America so why continue this bet? Death threats for not going along with the MAGA message? why do people with comfortable lives want to watch the world burn?
Nefarious forces want us all living in our own alternate realities.
They're not that numerous; its a bunch of billionaires who see that driving those alternate realities will make it easier to pick the pockets of the less wealthy
