"self serving promoters of ignorance and anti intellectualism on the right", but the self-serving embracers and celebrators of ignorance and promoters of intellectual nihilism on the left. Those who see their "mystery" regularly retreating before the advance of science, and the last refuges of the "god" they still hope desperately to be able to attest to without being laughed at slowly eroded. Those who battle constantly to discredit and de-legitimize science in any way they can do so without losing all credibility, with vapid memes like "for every door science opens, it finds 10 more closed" or "scientists just make shit up".

So sad.
