Economics is a big one, but it's also a tough one to convince skeptics on. Regardless, economists fall markedly more towards the right than their academic colleagues for reasons of their economics. Economics covers a very wide range of different things, so we don't even have to talk about it in general terms. For example, economics tells us that if the government throws more money at academic educations, we should expect things like an increase in the prices of degrees. But the left doesn't wanna hear that and just charges full speed ahead in thinking that the price of an education has nothing to do with the supply and demand of the industry.
Another is gender. The populist left is obsessed with the idea that there are a bunch of different genders and even gender fluidity, yet the scientific evidence for those are pretty slim. An added level of absurdity is in that when the left discusses the sexes, they say there is no female or male brain, but when they discuss transgenders, they say the person was born with that gender's brain. These two can't both be true at the same time.
As discussed earlier, the left tends to think that needing to combat global warming is a scientific view. It's not.
Currently the left has its eyes shut on the issue of illegal voting. Some studies have shown it likely happens; the left disregards.
Perhaps the most egregious is an area in which the left misuses a simple definition of something and then builds mountains around it. They did this with Trump. They called him racist after he said stuff about Mexico (not a race). They're not even getting their definitions right, much less behaving scientifically.
I'll stop there.
