The Republican party promotes climate science denial[emphasis added]
But nowhere near as much as the Democratic party promotes "religious" devotion to a still hotly debated scientific issue. What most Republicans promote is rational policies, instead of hysterical reaction to modeled but unrealized harms and "dangers".
[...] as well as denial of other science.
Examples...?
Unlike denying evolution this actually matters, and has harmed the US and the world,
In what way has the U.S. or anyone else been harmed?[...] but my interest here is what damage it has done to the brain of the Republican party.
Anthropomorphize all you want, the Republican party is as reasonable an organization as any.
You now have active QAnon proponents like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in Congress, and except for a handful [of] Republicans nobody speaks up against lunacy that would make the Kubrick moon landing down-to-earth in comparison.
The Dems have members who think Apollo 11 landed on Mars (or don't know the difference between the moon and Mars) and one who worried that American troops on Guam might cause the island to capsize...
You are aware that the parties don't dictate who gets enough votes to attain office, right? I'll cut the Dems some slack for their rather large number of elected buffoons, when their party allows dissent in its ranks. But -if you won't have stupid people in office- then neither democracy nor any other form of government is suitable. No? !)
