This is the question everyone seems to be asking these days. Trump’s rise has defied the predictions of pundits and pollsters, repeatedly embarrassing those who swore that he would flame out. I’m a political scientist, and I count myself among that number. In September, I offered my students a $500 bet that he wouldn’t become the Republican nominee — a wager I’m increasingly glad that none of them took me up on.<ref>[http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/03/donald-trump-2016-political-science-213755 5 Political Myths Trump Is Exploding] by Emily Thorson, Politico</ref>}}

The atheists and [[evolution]]ist [[PZ Myers]] wrote in 2025:
{{Cquote|It was a good weekend though, although yesterday was all deja vu. So many talks on social justice! It sounded like an atheist conference from 15 years ago, with all the liberal weirdos standing up and talking about feminism and gay rights and how the atheist community needs to fight for equality...
One difference: no one was talking about [[science]]. Not one talk the entire weekend. I think that might be another unintended consequence of so many of the atheist-scientists of yore having turned out to be such roaring asshats. Thanks so much, [[Richard Dawkins|Dawkins]] & [[Jerry Coyne|Coyne]] & [[Sam Harris|Harris]] & Pinker, you’ve made science a toxic pill in everyone’s mouth.<ref>[https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2025/04/20/and-a-good-time-was-had-by-all-2/ And a good time was had by all], [[PZ Myers]], April 20, 2025</ref>}}
