The Shocking Truth Behind the Republican 'War on Science'
Looking for a Fight: Is There a Republican War on Science?
What if the so-called Republican war on science is both real and not what it seems? This video unpacks the explosive book "Looking for a Fight: Is There a Republican War on Science?" edited by John Holbo, which originated from a heated online symposium around Chris Mooney's bestselling exposé. We walk you through the key revelations: how the right built a parallel universe of facts, why tech-utopians like Newt Gingrich love some science and hate others, the deep psychological roots of anti-expert rage, and the scandalous defense of Intelligent Design. Discover how industry cash, cultural war, and authoritarian irrationality fuse into a systematic assault on evidence — and what that means for democracy itself. Watch to finally understand why science became a political battleground and how to spot the manipulation in your own news feed.
