They don't have a monopoly on it, but the current batch of Republicans are responsible for somewhere north of 80% of it. That's lopsided enough to make it count as a Republican thing, not a Democrat thing.

Ten years ago, it would have been different, but the Republican party has taken a pretty big turn away from science then. You can see this comparing the official party platform from then to now.

If the Republicans dont have a monopoly on anti-science ideas, what is just one anti-science position held by Democrats?

If you venture to the extremes, what comes to mind immediately for me are folks who believe in naturopathy, rejection of vaccines, "wifi will rot your brain", and I'm sure there are others. I've come across these folks at 'hippie resorts' in the PNW, Big Sur, and other similar areas.

Interestingly enough, there's some overlap in these 'ideologies' between some extreme left and some extreme right folks (and probably some folks in between).

>If you venture to the extremes

Isn’t this just moving the goalposts? We’re not talking about a fringe Republican here, we’re talking about the president of the United States, along with the senate majority leader and the speaker of the house, to name the three most prominent republicans advocating for these positions.

The question I responded to was about anti-science beliefs in the other camp. Everyone knows it's prevalent in the Republican camp, hell the article title even demonstrates that.
