It the same old, SOW DOUBT tactic after four plus decades of evolution and victories, while the liberals stand on the sidelines bemoaning the situation and we’re all talking past each other. Why not some direct: Wait a fukin minute, that is false and this and this you are ignoring – and shove their faces in their own deceit.
Because they don’t see it as just sowing doubt, and “liberals” don’t agree on things because we ask the actual questions and get different answers. For some rich liars, sure, pretty sure they don’t care and doubt is their marketing strategy, but why does that work? Because people actually doubt the liberal scientism, and they are often right. We lost the Scopes Monkey Trial and William Jennings Bryan died soon after, that was not a victory. Madalyn Murray O’Hair was extremely unpopular. Meanwhile, evangelicals were quietly working their way into the White House. Despite everyone saying they aren’t fundamentalists, they hold some possibility that those fundies have it right, because it’s easier than thinking about it. Psychology in the 70’s said we teach kids to be rational, that we could teach them to control their emotions with reason. Not to mention science gave us the nuclear bomb which still threatens to end the world.
You can’t get all left-wing thinking people to stop and focus on something like this because it goes against left-wing thinking to put aside individualistic thinking and do that sort of group action.
