What Underlies the G.O.P. Commitment to Ignorance?

How odd. I don't believe that at all. In fact, I've seen several Reichtards, possibly you yourself as well, claim that come your much longed-for civil war, that the military will be on your side and will gun down and/or lock up all us traitor "libtards." LWers have claimed that the military will not follow unlawful orders. For instance, to gun us down in the streets.

I have no illusions that the military would be on any side except that of following orders..............so you're at least wrong on that count.......so quite possibly all the others as well

As everyone knows, leftists hate America’s military. Recently, a prominent left-wing media figure attacked Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declaring, “He’s not just a pig, he’s stupid.”

Oh, wait. That was no leftist, that was Fox News’s Tucker Carlson. What set Carlson off was testimony in which Milley told a congressional hearing that he considered it important “for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and widely read.”

The problem is obvious. Closed-mindedness and ignorance have become core conservative values, and those who reject these values are the enemy, no matter what they may have done to serve the country.

"What underlies this cross-disciplinary commitment to ignorance? On each subject, refusing to acknowledge reality serves special interests. Climate denial caters to the fossil fuel industry; evolution denial caters to religious fundamentalists; tax-cut mysticism caters to billionaire donors."

"Thus, to be a Republican in good standing one must deny the reality of man-made climate change, or at least oppose any meaningful action to limit greenhouse gas emissions. One must reject or at least express skepticism about the theory of evolution. And don’t even get me started on things like the efficacy of tax cuts."

So you DO believe that the military will follow orders -- even if those orders including shooting and/or rounding up political enemies of whoever is CiC. Check.
 
Many right wingers (all forum right wingers) think knowledge is just opinion. So your opinion is just as good as my opinion. There is no way to test for truth.

Krugman made a good point about so called liberal bias in academia. Where are all those right wingers applying for jobs in the sociology department?
