    I guess they’re smarter than all of NASA! That’s amazing! What’re they doing working in <whatever they do> when they could be straightening out the so-called scientists? /s

      They legitimately do think they know more than NASA. At least your average conservative voter. Conservative politicians probably believe at least some of the science but deny it to keep getting voters. Conservative voters think climate change isn’t real because it still snows in winter and people who have studied climate their entire lives are just part of a conspiracy to take away their trucks.

        Yep. Personal experience with these types is that they will use the excuse of NASA being funded by the government to discredit it.

        “They’re all stupid liberals just spreading (Obama/Pelosi/Clinton/Biden/Soros) propaganda so they don’t lose their funding, just like the schools,” is what I imagine my in-laws would say.
