Yep it's not an education thing. Highly educated Republicans are *more* likely to be climate deniers than less educated Republicans. It's conservative ideology and far right media.

These patterns cannot be attributed to scientific illiteracy. Researchers have found that scientific literacy and educational attainment do not predict attitudes related to specific science controversies. In general, higher education correlates with positive perceptions of science, yet highly educated Republicans are more likely than less educated ones to reject climate science or think that scientists are exaggerating the threat.12 People who reported in the spring of 2021 that they would “definitely not” get the COVID-19 vaccine-as compared with those planning to “wait and see”-were not so much uneducated as overwhelmingly Republican (67 percent versus 12 percent Democrat).13 During the summer and autumn of 2021, this partisan gap grew, even as the scientific evidence of vaccine safety and efficacy also grew. These patterns of partisan polarization confirm an argument we have already made elsewhere: the sources of science rejection lay not in the science itself, but in prior political and ideological beliefs and commitments.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

There are several buildings in Minneapolis where the apartments are built right above a grocery store. One grocery store had a huge parking lot, so they built a bunch of high-end condos there. I just turned 60. That's what I'll be looking for in about ten years.

It pained him, he wrote in a newspaper essay, that his oldest daughter had selected the University of Michigan for college because she thought no Florida school was good enough.

You cannot appease conservatives by being scrupulously fair and open-minded. They will still try to destroy you because Republicans hate reality-based media.

Old Indian: Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, bitch, you knew I was a snake."
