It would be one thing if we as a society were faced with the threat of a flat earth caucus imposing some kind of flat earth inspired authoritarian regime. But it's just dumb people with dumb notions about reality.

It's considerably less threatening than anti-vaccine, or homeopathy, or centralized federal power.
