Dan Rather: Ignoring science isn’t just a Republican problem. It’s an American problem.

True. The Republicans are in general more anti-science, but the liberal camp is perfectly content to reject evolution, medical facts and anything else that discomfits or displeases them. The Left’s anti-science tendencies tend to be of the New Age-y, crystal-gazing anti-medication variety, and a bit less than half of anti-vaxxers are also politically on the left.

So Rather is rather right: being anti-science is as American as apple pie (ugh).
