This might be the most dangerous, terrible aspect of the GOP: not just lies & bullshit, but a lust to destroy empiricism, logic, clear thinking, & any aspirations to consensual reality. I grew up assuming the drama of my life would be personal; I didn’t count on a death match over the Enlightenment.
