Trumpism is a cult. Plain and simple. This is cult behavior.
I realize that's very dismissive, but in this case I think that's a good thing. You could spend years debunking their every claim, anti-fact, and bad faith argument--and there's a time and a place for those discussions--but there's no need to burden your mind with the mountain of their nonsense. You don't have to read the whole Time Cube page to determine that its author isn't worth listening to for astrophysical insights.
I love getting years of good service from old computers, but I do want to add something: old laptop means old battery, and if they're not producing the same form factor anymore, then even a replacement battery will probably be old stock that's been degrading for years. Unfortunately I don't know what company's models have the best longevity here in terms of battery form factor.
One of the GOPs major goals, I believe, is to do exactly this nationwide: spend public money on religious schools where their operatives can indoctrinate students, phase out public education altogether, except maybe as a prison pipeline for minorities.
