I think this is a relatively mild period of anti-science. Religion is largely on the decline. Fake news is being called out as "fake". College educations are valued even by those without them in general, and the job market certainly values them.

I think it seem like there is a much larger anti-science sentiment then there is because these people have been given a fresh voice with social media and for the first time in a long time they can connect with each other and build echo chambers to shout at eachother in.

Some of this spilled out in the last election and provided a non-trivial number of votes for a candidate who was clearly a demogogue, instead of voting for a different demogogue who appealed less to the uneducated.
