I strongly disagree. "Univeral" seems to imply "everybody" of "all ideologies." I think complete dismissal of facts is far, far more common on the right.
What's more common universally is to disagree on the relative importance of various bits of data. And there were long periods in U.S. history when that was the main subject of disputes - which data set is more significant? Which facts should get more attention? Which issues are more important?
We're far beyond that now, at least with the right wing. Once a Trump administration invented "alternative facts" verifiable data went out the window. The right now has a strong tendency to blatantly invent "facts" to justify its ideas. Vance essentially confessed to that, regarding small town Ohio pets being eaten by immigrants, claiming it was OK to "create stories" - IOW, outright lie. Musk is "finding" billions and billions of dollars of fraud that regularly disappears whenever anyone else looks into the details.
Your efforts today are less blatant, but related: "Here's _one_ glacier that grew, so we should ignore the immense worldwide shrinking of almost all glaciers." And "Land here is slowly sinking, so we should ignore worldwide satellite measurements showing oceans rising."
