Jquery Plugins in Media Queries

Hypothetically:

If I design mobile first and wrap my code in a container class, not wanting to have my mobile viewers slowed down by downloading the jQuery libraries, could I just call them in an ::after pseudo class in the media query?

example: "@media screen and (min width:700px){ content-wrapper::after{ content:"<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>" } }"

Would this improve the speed at all? Would this not actually call the libraries that I want it to? Would this open a worm hole to a dimension where flamingos rule us all have learned to put their other foot down?

Just a thought
