The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science-and Reality Audiobook (Free)

Bestselling author Chris Mooney uses cutting-edge research to explain the psychology behind why today’s Republicans reject reality-it’s only component of who they are. From environment modification to development, the rejection of mainstream research among Republicans keeps growing, as may be the denial of professional consensus over the economy, American history, international policy, plus much more. Why won’t Republicans acknowledge things that most industry experts agree on? Why are they continuously fighting against the reality? Science writer Chris Mooney explores brain scans, polls, and psychology experiments to explain why conservatives today believe even more wrong things, appear more likely than Democrats to oppose brand-new ideas and less likely to transformation their beliefs when confronted with brand-new facts, and occasionally respond to powerful evidence by doubling down on the current beliefs.

Certain to spark dialogue and argument, The Republican Mind also promises to increase the lengthy set of persuasive scientific results that Republicans reject and deny.
