Description
Best-selling author Chris Mooney uses cutting edge research to explain the psychology behind why today’s Republicans reject reality — it's just part of who they are. From climate change to evolution, the rejection of mainstream science among Republicans is growing, as is the denial of expert consensus on the economy, American history, foreign policy and much more. Why won't Republicans accept things that most experts agree on? Why are they constantly fighting against the facts?
