The Secretary of Health and Human Services is a conspiracist that doesn't believe in vaccines and swims in sewers with his toddler to prove a point about "natural immunity" [1]. The new Surgeon General prayed to the stars and the trees and took mushrooms to "get ready for partnership" [2]. This is the party of so-called "rationalists".
Fascism has a long history of rejecting rationalism and science, and of embrassing esotericism [3]. Something our representation of nazis in media did a terrible job at conveying. We always see nazis as cold, calculating and rational when they are anything but.

Eh?
Republicans pride themselves in this "facts over feeling" aesthetic, when they let vibes alone dictate the entirety of their decision making process.
See: Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro...
