The Secretary of Health and Human Services is a conspiracist that doesn't believe in vaccines and swims in sewers with his toddler to prove a point about "natural immunity" [1]. The new Surgeon General prayed to the stars and the trees and took mushrooms to "get ready for partnership" [2]. This is the party of so-called "rationalists".

Fascism has a long history of rejecting rationalism and science, and of embrassing esotericism [3]. Something our representation of nazis in media did a terrible job at conveying. We always see nazis as cold, calculating and rational when they are anything but.

Indiana Jones and Hellboy are pretty explicit about this.
