"For the people that say scientists should stay entirely neutral on politics despite major changes in the two parties— what is their theory of change? 

Stay silent, wait, hope…
profit?

This kind of head-in-the-sand attitude about reality does not lead us forward. It prevents advocacy for science.

  "Derek Thompson tweet:
  
  re: Scientific American's endorsement of Kamala Harris for president
  
  I wish I saw more scientists grappling with the tradeoffs at stake here.
  
  In fact, a 2023 paper found that the journal Nature's endorsement of Joe Biden
  1. "caused large reductions in stated trust in Nature among Trump supporters"
  2. "lowered the demand for COVID-related information provided by Nature"
  3. "reduced Trump supporters’ trust in scientists in general"
  4. while "estimated effects on Biden supporters’ trust ... were positive, small and mostly statistically insignificant""
