I will never, ever understand anyone in politics being anti-science. It makes no damned sense.

Isn’t the whole overriding point of national politics to help this country advance and lead? We can’t do that in a globalized, technologically savvy world like the one we live in if the people leading it think the world is 6000 years old, or that evolution is a lie, or that vaccines are evil, or that climate change isn’t happening. We need people who understand science and technology and how they work, especially now.
