- craftyguy 8y agoIf you venture to the extremes, what comes to mind immediately for me are folks who believe in naturopathy, rejection of vaccines, "wifi will rot your brain", and I'm sure there are others. I've come across these folks at 'hippie resorts' in the PNW, Big Sur, and other similar areas. Interestingly enough, there's some overlap in these 'ideologies' between some extreme left and some extreme right folks (and probably some folks in between).
- travmatt 8y ago>If you venture to the extremes Isn’t this just moving the goalposts? We’re not talking about a fringe Republican here, we’re talking about the president of the United States, along with the senate majority leader and the speaker of the house, to name the three most prominent republicans advocating for these positions.
- craftyguy 8y agoThe question I responded to was about anti-science beliefs in the other camp. Everyone knows it's prevalent in the Republican camp, hell the article title even demonstrates that.

- throwaway59928 8y agoMany Democrats are anti-science when it comes to anything relating to racial differences. There’s also quite a bit of anti-scientific Democrat behavior about gender. Most liberals I know start to sound about as sane as chemtrail believers when it comes to race and science. EDIT: As a great example, see the downvotes from the liberal equivalent of climate deniers.
