These kinds of mob-mandated retractions, especially in the wake of the ongoing replication crisis, only bolster conservatives' skepticism of science and their suspicion that it has been corrupted for political purposes. I'm seeing more and more outright ridicule of science from conservatives now, or at least ridicule of the emphatic, unqualified appeals to it: e.g., "the science is settled!" "trust the science!" Is censoring papers that support wrongthink really worth half the country losing in faith in science altogether?
