I like to listen to scientific lectures. Unfortunately, it's becoming rare to be able to listen to an entire lecture without hearing an awkward jab at the anti-science mindset of the Republican Party. I don't disagree, but it's still the pot calling the kettle "black".
The Democratic Party is just as anti-science; they just differ in the parts of science they don't like.
Years ago, the Republican anti-science condemned by the science lecturers was usually centered on biology/evolution. Now the irony is that it's much more likely to be about "climate change"-- a topic the Democrats are decidedly anti-science about. Occasionally it is anti-gun bigotry or genderism that inspires the complaint against Republicans, but those are a lot rarer in science lectures than the "climate change" stuff. And sometimes the reason isn't even specified, it's just stated as axiomatic that "GOP = anti-science". I've even heard libertarians included with Republicans a time or two.
Basically, what they are implying is that if you aren't a Left-Statist you are backwards and ignorant. Everyone but their team needs to be scolded and corrected like a naughty, stupid child.
When you try to mix a little politics in with your science, you have abandoned science for religion-- the religion of Statism. It doesn't matter what variety of politics you mix in, either. Politics has no place in science. None.
Really, politics has no place in society... or in life.
