This is a hilariously naive way of seeing things. Science is never neutral and never can be, and pretending it is neutral is just saying you're fine with the current status quo.
Trump actively harms science and scientists and universities, so why should the scientific community system quiet?

Even if those politics are anti-science?

If only certain (Republican) politicians would learn to keep their ignorant opinions out of science then maybe that would happen. When one party goes to war against facts and science then every scientist has a moral duty to push back.

So much about "truth".
People don't have a problem with science. They have a problem with scientists.
They also say how Trump is bad because of the Paris agreement for environment. Did you know that the Paris agreement has no legal bindings? It's just a PR move by politicians.

Because it is incredibly divisive and cheapens the journal. I'm not interested in what my doctor thinks of Biden, I just want to get rid of the damn foot fungus.

What if you wanted your doctor to assist you in abortion? That's an American political matter.

Nature doesn't deal with getting rid of foot fungi either. You're thinking of New England Journal of Medicine.
(FWIW, I think it would be amusing if Biden reached out to https://www.heavenmagazine.nl in order to get a Confucian mandate of heaven.)
