To provide some clarity and background to the problem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism

The left, even across cultures and vast geographic distances, has an unusual constitutional weakness against that specific mental disease.

Not implying, that the right has no unusual mental illness susceptibilities of its own, although that's a bit off topic.

Arguing with someone suffering from a bad case of Lysenkoism is about as effective as trying to argue my coworker out of being a type I diabetic. You can tell him all day long that its long term ineffective or environmentally wasteful or wrong or unhealthy or non-vegan or unpopular to inject insulin, but all that hot air talking is never going to wake up his pancreas. Ditto pointing out to people suffering a bad case of Lysenkoism that they're diseased is not an effective way to cure them. What does work is curing their political views, when that's possible, most of the time the patient regains their lost scientific reasoning capacity in that specific corner of genetic research.
