      There's an aspect of this I have a question about. From demographics I've seen, both scientists and science journos lean left. They're also human, which means worldview is reflected in their work. Should the right be skeptical? Does science lean left?https://twitter.com/crampell/status/1415988507307302915 …

      Republicans' confidence in “science” is nearly 30 points lower than in 1975. Democrats are more confident in “science” than in 1975 Weird how this has become a culture war issue https://news.gallup.com/poll/352397/democratic-republican-confidence-science-diverges.aspx … pic.twitter.com/qadeigD25t

      Dunno about cause and effect there tbh, I was relatively right-wing until I studied public health

          I'm not sure you're representative my friend. You seem to be an outlier on lots of things. 😉

          100% this for me too. I was right wing most of my life.

          I leaned more right (not far enough R to vote for RWR, though!) because the left seemed to reject science and embrace religion and magic. When the two parties switched sides on that topic, I switched sides too.

          It's strange for someone my age because the appeal to nature fallacy used to be heavily left. The science of pesticides, nuclear safety, herbicides and much more leaned right, anti-vax also used to be left. Was it that less educated union workers moved with Trump to the GOP?

          I was left wing until I became a criminal because I quit smoking by vaping which was illegal in Australia. An issue which is governed by politics instead of scientific evidence. Both sides ignore science when it conflicts with ideology.
