What makes republicans more "anti-science" than democrats? Can you please remind me which party tends to oppose GMOs, yet almost every single respected study has found that GMOs are just as safe as any other food? Can you please remind me which party opposes fracking, despite the fact that numerous, if not most, studies have concluded that fracking is safe? Can you please tell me which party denies basic economic concepts such as incentives, supply and demand, and the important of profit and loss? Can you please tell me where the anti-vaccine movement started?
Which party denies the existence of fetal pain, the heritability of intelligence, or nuclear power?
Why does the leftwing get to pick and choose which issues are benchmarks for science?
Economic is the science of incentives. Yet most of the delegates in the national Democratic Convention don’t believe in incentives. They believe if a price is too high (think housing rents), the government can push it down and nothing bad will happen. They believe if a price is too low (think wages), government can push it up and nothing bad will happened. They believe that a plan formed by people at the top will work (think Obamacare) even if everyone at the bottom has a self-interest in defeating it.
This is science denial in spades.
