@dreadfulsanity science encourages being wrong and learning new things... It's inconvenient to their rugged individualism and authoritarian streak. :P all the more reason we should lean into it!
@dreadfulsanity true... politicians convince themselves they're the voice of the "oppressed", while the other rich just convince themselves that they're dealing with "haters" (and thus further proving they are right)... <.<;
...oh well, the idiots out themselves in the end, as such. :(
