This is usually what to expect when you see headlines about anti-intellectualism in the US. The extreme end of conservatism is certainly anti-intellectual and anti-science, but so is the extreme end of liberalism, and those examples are always swept under the rug or portrayed as being obvious. Where are the examples of rent control advocates, anti-GMO paranoia, anti-vaciine paranoia, etc.?
