The Republicans, far more than the Dems, have politicized reality. They have lots of 'litmus tests,' candidates who don't pass them all find moneyed opponents beating them in the primaries, and individuals are rigidly steered by Rush and Hannity and the ladies at Fox.
So the big split on 'what is truth' on political lines is the result. But truth and reality aren't actually political, and aren't matters of opinion. The big split means a lot of people are wrong.
