Arrogant ignorance.Science has always fought an uphill battle against those with a vested interest in ignorance.I share your hope, but the roadblocks are not small, they are profound and serious.

What is Scientism?
What is Scientism? - AAAS - DoSER
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has…www.aaas.org
". . . Physicist Ian Hutchinson offers an insightful metaphor for the current controversies over science:
“The health of science is in fact jeopardized by scientism, not promoted by it. At the very least, scientism provokes a defensive, immunological, aggressive response from other intellectual communities, in return for its own arrogance and intellectual bullyism. It taints science itself by association.” (13)
Noting that most Americans enthusiastically welcome scientific advancements, particularly those in health care, transportation, and communications, Hutchinson suggests that perhaps what the public is rejecting is not actually science itself, but a worldview that closely aligns itself with science—scientism (14). By disentangling these two concepts, we have a much better chance for enlisting public support for scientific research than we would by trying to convince millions of people to embrace a materialistic, godless universe in which science is our only remaining hope.. . . "
We can always argue with scientists regarding scientism, and by resorting to the fewest fallacies we can discover sublime Truth (value) through argumentation.
Right wingers only resort to right wing fantasy and insist they must be Right simply because they are on the right wing.

Galileo would have cheered the advance.

Biden this week created a task force to review agency scientific integrity policies. He’s also requiring that all federal research agencies have a chief science officer, and that all agencies have a scientific integrity official.
The steps come after the Trump administration was mired in several controversies, including accusations its COVID-19 policies didn’t always follow science.
The New York Times reported in September that federal guidance stating it wasn’t necessary to test people without COVID-19 symptoms wasn’t written by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientists, and was posted online despite objections from government scientists. Politico reported that politically appointed aides have also sought to review and change CDC reports.
Separately, a recent inspector general investigation found that the White House pushed for a correction of a National Weather Service tweet that contradicted then-President Trump’s assertion that Hurricane Dorian in 2019 was endangering Alabama.
Much more broadly, Trump was criticized for refuting science that humans are contributing to climate change.
Biden has sought to send a signal that his government will listen to scientists on the need to fight climate change and other issues.

You'll have to refresh my memory on that one. Do you have a link you can provide?Was that better or worse than claiming the rise of the oceans slowed after Obama was nominated?
Meanwhile, I think this is the all time classic example of Trump's overcoming mindless ideological dogma to provide his dispassionate, scrupulously data-based, scientific analysis:

Actually, I was thinking of that the other day, how the Left's use of politics seems designed to fill their SPIRITUAL needs, more than actual political goals, or real self interests.

I can no longer find the quote. I retract.I am aware of a fringe calling for police defunding, a radical move that was rejected by President Biden, but who ever said, "I SURE WISH THE CAPITAL POLICE HAD SHOT ALL THOSE TRUMP SUPPORTERS"? Are you lying or do you have a link to your alleged quote and an attribution?leftists last summer: WE NEED TO DEFUND THE POLICE THEIR TOO BRUTAL
leftists now: I SURE WISH THE CAPITAL POLICE HAD SHOT ALL THOSE TRUMP SUPPORTERS
I'm not sure who your "leftists" are, but Trump's goons that were incited by him to attack democracy included several flavors of rightist wackos, about whom the FBI had warned.
