I don’t oppose ridiculing conspiracy theories, particularly when they deserve it. However, I’m with @MarkHoofnagle. Where were all you rationalists when the conspiracy theory that is climate science denial took over @GOP? Or during the last five years, when antivax did the same?https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1304567255372570625 …

I'm rolling my eyes because this is liberal Twitter thing: "I agree with your point, so now let me expand your point to include Ronald Reagan and the GOP in 1952." Anti-vaxxers are conspiracy types, I agree. But not everyone who denies science is about conspiracy theories. /1

Motivated reasoning is behind a lot of it. "If I believe X, I will have to do something I don't like. So therefore I will disbelieve X and all things that could possibly lead to having to believe X." This is why people think MDs don't understand diets: Because they won't diet. /2
