Discover the psychology behind why today's Republicans reject reality in this fascinating book. From climate change to evolution, author Chris Mooney explains the growing rejection of mainstream science among Republicans and the denial of expert consensus on a wide range of topics. Through brain scans, polls, and psychology experiments, Mooney explores why conservatives today are more likely to oppose new ideas and less likely to change their beliefs in the face of new facts. The book also delves into the personality traits and psychological needs that shape our political parties and the root of our divide over reality.
