Republicans: False Equivalency Is Magical Thinking

Those who have problems with cause and effect vs correlation, and are resistant to objective evidence, are magical thinkers. Those who accept claims only with sufficient objective evidence are science-based thinkers. (link) It is clear that Republicans as a US political group are strongly leaning toward magical thinking. Once again, their weak defense of the indefensible (the insurrection involving the attack on the US Capitol on January 6th) by using false equivalency/whataboutism is a glaring sign of their magical thinking and moral immaturity. To say it is about time for the Republicans to wake up to reality and change is an understatement.

He accepts the discredited racial pseudoscience of Charles Murray. He doesn't accept the reality of systemic racism or unconscious bias. He is not accepting of the full spectrum of evidence regarding police violence. (link(link) (link) (link) (link(link(link(link

Another Example Of Reality Having A Liberal Bias

"So if we are not actively searching for Democrats among job applicants, why is the ratio of party affiliation so lopsided?

"One reason is the anti-science attitude adopted by many rank and file Republicans and supported by some Republican leaders. For example, a Pew Research Survey in 2013 found that only 43 percent of Republicans believe that humans have evolved over time."
