The most interesting people are the ones who claim Democratic party identity and yet accept the Republican position on this. I'd be interested to talk to one of these people to learn about their worldviews. Single issue voters for something like abortion? Just don't like the color red? I need answers.

In other news there are more than two sets of opinions in the world?

This is my biggest irk about two-party systems. Everyone identifies as one or the other when in reality you're gonna agree with 20-50% of the policies of one and 40-80% of the policies of the other, yet because they identify as a supporter of x party they feel have to pretend they can do no wrong

I mean, that's why I said I'd be interested to talk with someone who espouses that view. Party identification has maybe never been stronger, and the positions of the two parties have never been farther apart on many issues.

Or just not single issue voters for climate change.

Sure. I think I meant this comment more as trying to understand what kind of information and media a person like that might be consuming to arrive at "climate change is fake and also vote for democrats." It's just an interesting cross-section.

My guess would be someone who doesn't really consume much media at all, or maybe part of the broad subset of "anti-science left" that also end up in some anti-vax conversations
