That's not true. Countless journalists, academics, and luminaries have expressed serious concern over the election of Donald Trump. To put it simply, the only ones celebrating his victory are the KKK, Russia, ISIS, and American conservatives.

Anyway, if people want to vote for right wing nutcases who refuse to believe in science, data, evidence, they deserve to be insulted and rightfully so. Don't expect a retraction or apology from people with common sense. The truth mattars not what your opinion is.

When the right refuses to believe in science, data, and evidence, it's derided as climate change denial.

When the left refuses to believe in science, data, and evidence, it's celebrated as tolerance, diversity, and multiculturalism.

Do you see the difference? When the right believes something contrary to science, they're attacked for it. So why does the left get a free pass in denying biology and evolution?

The fact is the right tends to be religeous nutcase who believe in Creationism. Recet polls show support for evolutionary biology among Republicans have been disturbingly dropping.

"sizable differences by party affiliation in beliefs about evolution, and the gap between Republicans and Democrats has grown. In 2009, 54% of Republicans and 64% of Democrats said humans have evolved over time, a difference of 10 percentage points. Today, 43% of Republicans and 67% of Democrats say humans have evolved, a 24-point gap."
