No, they are more like Medieval theologians: they are pursuing a Higher Truth, the Higher Truth of American Conservatism. The only facts they allow are the ones that serve this Higher Truth, and they are willing to bend facts to fit.

Actually medieval theologians used much better logic, and tended to be pretty pro-science.

I didn’t mean they’re like actual academics, but like the fantasy version they have of academics as these detached weirdos living privileged lives where they surround themselves with only the information they want and take no responsibility for the consequences of any of their theories. These people don’t exist, but their closest living relative are GOP members.
