My interpretation of their comment is that it's the other way around. Democrats tend to use "science" to justify political decisions. Because people don't like those political decisions, and/or because pop science is allegedly used vs "real science", it devalues "real science" and causes people not to trust it as much
- autoexec 2y ago> Democrats tend to use "science" to justify political decisions. I'd much rather politicians use science to justify political decisions instead of just doing whatever is popular, or would make them and their friends the most money.

What people should be asking is, why does science have a supposedly left-leaning bias? Why does education have a left-leaning bias? It feels like there's some obvious conclusions the republican can draw there, but they see those conclusions and draw something else instead.
