Democrats wouldn’t know real science if it was a government program.

Ask a Dem if the Earth is at apogee or perigee on Dec 21st in North America and they’ll just stare at you like a college kids trying to name a senator.

Forget apogee/perigee (it’s actually at perigee, but it’s not distance to sun that brings summer or winter, but angle of orientation, because the orbit is so nearly circular). Why is there a summer or winter at all?

Wasn’t there some recent study or survey where they asked political affiliation and 10 basic science questions and Dems missed 70-80% of them?

Neither.

The closest answer, while not completely correct, would be "Perihelion".
