Doing “Research”

Re: the meme here, the precise opposite is true.  If you interview the president’s supporters and ask them if they “do research” into Trump’s actions and statements, almost all of them would say, “Of course!  That’s why I trust him to Make America Great Again.”

The same can be said for virtually all climate deniers and anti-vaxxers.  Of course, it’s research in a fundamentally different sense of the word from what the word used to mean, i.e. reading the peer-reviewed publications of the scientists who study the relevant field.  Now it means watching a few YouTube videos put together by crackpots.
