refusing to believe in climate change was like...the tip of the iceberg for anti-intellectualism for republicans. since they started that shyt, they went on to produce this list of greatest hits:
- insist stimulus and fed quantitative easing in response to The Great Recession would result in runaway inflation (tea party austerity bullshyt), even though all credible economists insisted it wouldn’t...and then refuse to admit they were wrong when that runaway inflation just didn’t happen
- believe Obama was born in Kenya...even when he produced his birth certificate
- embrace QANON
- believe COVID was a hoax, just a flu...only for the following year have half a million Americans die from it
- be anti-maskers...leading to more Americans dead
- believe the 2020 election was invalid without evidence...and then conduct a deadly invasion of the capital because of it
maybe their position on climate change is the most consequential long term...but this republican anti-intellectualism shyt is getting worse and more ridiculous by the year
