You know you're talking to a person with "close adherence to progressive extremist ideology" when they assume the facts are on their side and the other side is just lies. Real scientific integrity eh?

My personal backlash against this is from experience. I have been wrong. I will be wrong more in the future. Ignorance is normal. Nobody knows everything.
However, ignorance is not to be embraced. Fact checking is not a liberal agenda. It is a general path to improvement.

Yes, because only progressive extremists believe the facts are on their side. Say that out loud again, it sounds ridiculous.

They have a greater tendency to do so, yes.
Probably stems from the implicit assumption that since academia leans left, that these progressives will have the needed scientific support for their policy proposals.

You know that it was two Republicans who started the bipartisan committee on climate change in the House, right? It's not a liberal issue. It's a reality that is happening NOW
Your generalizations are laughable and are only indicative of the toxic thinking that has characterized this election.
