Science is the search for the truth.

That is precisely why Trump and his libertarian oligarch handlers, as well as a majority of the Republicans in office, don’t like science.

Science is about facts and evidence-based inquiry. The far-right wants to ignore science. They are worried that rational evidence-based thinking will reveal their nefarious plan to manipulate the gullible among us and realize their dream of total control of a stunted government, as documented expertly in Jane Mayer’s book Dark Money.
