      Here's a little secret about some GOPers and science. They're not science deniers, they're scientist-haters. There's a difference. /1

      They see - rightly - some scientists as trying to use expert knowledge to force policy conclusions they prefer. /2

      They know that the science is sturdy, but they disagree with the policy conclusions. Which they have a right to do. /3

      So instead, they play dumb, and attack the science as bunk. This is all kabuki: each side in the debate knows what it's doing. /4

      Moreover, here's another ugly reality: liberals deny science when it pisses them off, too. (The study on this is in the book.) /5

      But conservatives, stupidly, have equated pissing on scientists with pissing on science and thus pissing on "elites." /6

      Some GOPers are loons. So are a fair number of liberal Dems. But the "science" debate isn't really about science - and never was. /7x

      GMOs. Homeopathy and other medical fads. Vaccines. Genders at birth. Early childhood programs. (No, they don't work.) Many others.

      On homeopathy & vaccines you won't find much partisan split. Also no political elite support for any of this except early childhood ed

          I'd challenge that, esp on vaccines.

          The biggest vaccine denier in America is the Republican president.

          Also, pretty sure homeopathy skews left, as does "naturalistic" medicine

          Media lusting for #balance make vaccination advocates debate nihilistic anti-vaxxers
