Not surprising.

The left is a pro-drug, social issue obsessed, math-fearing, anti-engineering culture.

The right is a corrupt, pro-religion, pray that everything works, anti-education culture.

Could you elaborate on “math-fearing”? I’m really curious to hear your justification for its inclusion in your lists

I expect it's a dog whistle referring to black and ethnic crime statistics.

It's not, and I'm not even sure what you're getting at.

If that's the case then I apologize. It's a common thing to cherry pick out of context and misleading statistics to push a narrative, then say "you must hate statistics/maths/reality" when you point out they are misleading.

"The left hates math" = "the left hates our statistics"

Perhaps you could elaborate on your comment.

So what do you mean by “math-fearing”?
