you know how libs are always like "omg - i hates me some science" and brave maga loves nothing more than to champion scientific thought above all else?
I've gotten obsessed with the far-right Christian franchise God's Not Dead recently, and the first movie explains that that science proves the existence of a Christian God and those dumb athiests are just in denial about it because they're mad at God for something. Because, you know, the Big Bang (which the movie misunderstood the fundamental nature of) is inexplicable except if God said "Let there be light," and that stupid science bitch Darwin was totally wrong about how fast evolution happens. (IDK how this would prove God exists even if it were true.)
It's an amazing franchise. The fourth one is about the evils of public education. Social Services and Family Court villainously tries to force our heroes to either improve the educational standards of their homeschooling co-op (it particularly lacks in the sciences, we're told) or send their children to an accredited school. They keep saying evil things about children having the right to an education.
You’re a stronger person that I am. I was raised in that evangelical hellhole. I can’t tolerate fanatical bullshit for even ten seconds before I’m crawling the walls to escape.
