But I also believe the current iteration of the Republican party takes stances that are misaligned with science and less supportive of scientific endeavor than the Democratic party. I think there are many individuals on the right who are not in lock-step with the Republican party on those party platforms, but they tend to be less important to voters in general (throughout the political spectrum) so get overlooked.
Tanq - in fairness, you have been a jerk quite a few times to quite a few progressives, not just in discussions about who is or isn't "actively fighting science". Maybe we can say "abrasive" instead of "jerk", though I doubt you take that much offense to "jerk" in the context of how strong and negative you come off toward progressives. As I have been participating less but still reading every post, it has really struck me how frequently you are abrasive. Its really impressive (in a not good way). Funny that you never treat OO or 69/70/75 or any of the others that way, even if you have disagreements.

I would be hard pressed to name a single post of yours that I didn't find abrasive. Including this one, for the record.

You wouldn't be hard pressed to do that, same as you wouldn't be hard pressed to do the same for Tanq - despite his West Texas roughness.
