    Imagine having so blinkered a worldview that you think the reasons we don't have the second is because of the allegedly reality of the first. But if Trump & the GOP say climate denial is a hoax, that's not in reaction to academia but because their economic interest requires it.https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1380899615407505408 …

    Yascha MounkVerified account @Yascha_Mounk
    In the long-run, America can have one (and likely only one) of two things: * An intellectual and institutional establishment that remains inhospitable to conservatives * A Republican Party that trusts experts, dismisses conspiracy theories, and resists populism Choose wisely.

        Imagine saying “alleged” or insisting “conservative” simply means “Trump” and/or “GOP”

        Replying to @ChanceBGardener

        I've often written about anti-Trump conservatives. But my argument (vindicated I think out by events) is that they have no effective sway inside GOP and so are besides the point for changing GOP (which is what Mounk is proposing).

        Arrows of causality can run in more than one direction.

        This is generically true, but I think it’s worth considering how much is one vs the other. To the extent that US has an environment inhospitable to conservatives (1) and a hugely unreasonable GOP party (2), it’s obvious to most observers that 2 led to 1 more than vice Versa

        This supposed dichotomy is nonsense. While the old joke is reality has a liberal bias, the truth is modern conservatives reject realities which contradict their ideology, not the other way around. Anti-intellectuals are never going to be comfortable with intellectualism.
