I am curious about that. Why is that? Evolution, climate change...why doesn't the right believe in science?

Maybe it's useful to replace "belief" with "place trust in". And of course such attitudes are not exclusive to the political right (although very tightly correlated with a subset of it). But I get your point. One interesting thing is that attitudes regarding science can be shown to correlate closely with attitudes regarding proper relationships within social groups and parenting. Sort of like science reveals the world as probabilistic and uncertain, which erodes the framework needed to properly raise a family. One interesting thing to read along these line is chapter 3 of the (free stuff) book at the link below.

Smart man!

"Nye said, “Only 40 percent of people in the U.S. think that Congress should be addressing this and that’s because certain conservative groups, especially from the fossil fuel industry, have been very successful in introducing the idea that scientific uncertainty, plus or minus two percent, is the same as plus or minus 100 percent.”"

I guess we will have to take your word for it.

What is Authoritarianism?

Authoritarianism is something authoritarian followers and authoritarian leaders cook up between themselves. It happens when the followers submit too much to the leaders, trust them too much, and give them too much leeway to do whatever they want--which often is something undemocratic, tyrannical and brutal.

Who says they don't? The left, progressives and Democrats are the ones that say it. Too funny...

At one point during the last election cycle, 7 out of 10 gop candidates didn’t believe in evolution. You know that’s also true about man-made climate change. I understand your embarrassment, but the first step is acknowledgement.
