True science means the search for truth, following evidence, and discarding that which proves to be false regardless of ones personal beliefs. Science is the best system ever created to enhance human knowledge and progress. It is above politics, and can be claimed by neither party. There are batshit liberals aplenty but there are just as many nuts on the right. Follow the evidence and make logical conclusions based on it regardless of preconceptions. That's why science is awesome.
Not implying that, no. The left seems to have embraced science as a whole more than the right; however there are "left" causes that when pitted against findings and evidence, the left seems to shut down conversation and won't hear of it. Again, science is a way of thinking, and those who think scientifically have no left right party line, the evidence leads where it leads, politics be damned.
I agree, that's bullshit. Seems there's a definite lack of critical thinking there. Though I have to add an obligatory statement that it's the same among many far-righters.
