Subject: Re: They're eating the data!
"I just accessed the Census Bureau’s website in order to research imports and exports between Michigan, Canada and Mexico. What do you think I found? DEAD LINKS. The Trump Administration has taken down all foreign trade data and broken links to a host of economic data. They have also taken down articles and references to research papers and methodological studies."

First thing an authoritarian government does is burn the books... figuratively as well as literally.

The great enemies of any Dear Leader are facts, data and truth.

I'm sure he wishes he could have done the same at the end of his first term... burn or disappear the data on vaccine studies or mask efficacy.

Prepare for "Truth is what Trump says it is". But first, he has to get rid of the facts, so he can substitute his "alternative facts".

MAGA has already abandoned "facts" for their alternative. But soon it will be difficult to mount any sort of counter-arguments to the river of bullshit that is picking up speed and burying facts and truth under ten feet of swamp muck.
