When Nancy Pelosi said trust the science, she was not following the science but, instead, being akin to the lab coat instructor in the famous Stanley Milgram Psychological Obedience experiment.

There are many people here who know of the Milgram experiment where Stanley Milgram falsely said he was doing an experiment of the effect of punishment on learning, when, in fact, it was a measure of obedience to authority. There was a white coat guy who supposedly set up the electrodes to supposedly shock people if they gave the wrong answer; there was a teacher (a volunteer, and these volunteers were taken from all walks of life); there was also the person who the shocks were supposed to be administered to and he was something of an actor who could feign pain and distress as the dummy voltage of the device was purportedly increased. The experiment revealed an ugly side to human nature as many of the participants; i.e. teachers, pushed the voltage up to very high levels that could kill or cause a person severe pain if the voltage was not bogus. When they looked at the white coated guy for instructions as they were allegedly causing the subject (actually, an actor of sorts) severe pain, the white coated guy told them to continue and said it is for the science.

Nancy Pelosi is taking advantage of this dark side of human nature revealed via the Stanley Milgram Obedience Experiment) to get obedience to her hypocritical mask mandate and vaccine mandates. Madame speaker is part of this, too. Trust the science, Madame speaker says, but it is really a lesson in obedience. Does someone fall down exercising and nearly die because of wearing a face diaper? To hell with that, trust the science! Does Marvelous Marvin Hagler die after taking the vaccine? To hell with that, trust the science!

The lib/commies were looking for a method of obedience and they have found it by imitating an experiment that exposed the nasty depths of human nature. At least Stanley Milgram was trying to do an experiment that accomplished something important; i.e., trying to understand certain facets of human nature; the lib/commies are trying to sucker people and use a virus that Fauci funded to impose an evil, woke dictatorship upon the ruins of America. The lib/commies are truly satanic.

The Milgram experiment, like the Stanford Prison experiment and Kinsey Report, had lots of unreported problems. To me, there is a real question if they reflect more on the experimenter's professionalism than anything else. One wonders if they experiments were created to justify foregone conclusions.

These studies became justification for action, regardless of how truthful they were. What we see is, the Federal system, news, elites of all stripes act as if the public has been influenced. When the public refuses to be influenced according to plan, mass punishment follows. Just like a authoritarian regime.
