The demonstrators held signs reading “No to fascism” and “Hate never made us great” amid rush-hour traffic on Market Street.

Hundreds of chanting protesters — far outnumbering President Donald J. Trump’s supporters — gathered Tuesday afternoon outside the National Constitution Center, where Trump participated in a town hall meeting.

The protesters, led by Refuse Fascism, a national organization that has become a regular presence at appearances by Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, chanted “We will not stop until they are gone” and held signs reading “No to fascism” and “Hate never made us great” amid rush-hour traffic on Market Street.....

...A line of Philly bike cops arrived in an effort to separate Trump fans and Trump critics, but the president’s supporters appeared to be far outnumbered even by police officers....

Sep 2020 SCIENCE MAGAZINE: Trump lied about science

When President Donald Trump began talking to the public about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in February and March, scientists were stunned at his seeming lack of understanding of the threat. We assumed that he either refused to listen to the White House briefings that must have been occurring or that he was being deliberately sheltered from information to create plausible deniability for federal inaction.

Now, because famed Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward recorded him, we can hear Trump’s own voice saying that he understood precisely that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was deadly and spread through the air. As he was playing down the virus to the public, Trump was not confused or inadequately briefed: He flat-out lied, repeatedly, about science to the American people. These lies demoralized the scientific community and cost countless lives in the United States...

...  Editorials have bemoaned endorsements by presidents on teaching intelligent design, creationism, and other antiscience in public schools. These matters are still important. But now, a U.S. president has deliberately lied about science in a way that was imminently dangerous to human health and directly led to widespread deaths of Americans.

This may be the most shameful moment in the history of U.S. science policy...

A vote for Trump is a vote for white supremacy and right wing extremism in 2020.

The too often repeated statement of Fauci at one time saying "don't wear a mask".....I guess Trump doesn't accept change or the ability to say I changed my thinking on this issue -- such rigidity and unable to admit any faults.

More evidence that the fellow Trump is emotionally and intellectually unfit for office.
