The Anti-Catholic Climatologists

With the advent of Trump it's easier for people to see how the Civil War never ended and that the South kept on fighting for privilege and bigotry. What's less obvious is that they are also still fighting the Reformation.

For example, if no priest (expert) is going to intervene in your salvation neither is any expert (climatologist) going to tell you what to think about their area of study. You know better no matter what an ignorant oaf you are.

The problems with authority that now plague us are, in other words, to a great extent, more trouble caused by evangelicals. They'll hold stupid opinions just to try to prove they can't be pushed around and told what to think or do.

Add to them the Koch crowd. They also don’t want anyone telling them what to do. Then you have the insane culture of today. The only common efforts respected and validated are in antisocial areas — warfare and business.
