That's a false equivalency. Republicans have been far, far worse. They have been anti-science across the board on all kinds of policy. Donald Trump is absolute low point in American history. The guy who said vaccines cause autism, pushed unproven and dangerous treatments, pressured scientists to change their recommendations, called climate change a hoax, wanted to nuke a hurricane and rake a forest. He owns the party right now. I can respect political differences but I can't respect being a republican in 2021. The party is fundamentally irrational and has abandoned reasoned policy discussions. And there a measurable real world consequences measured in death rates for red states.
