What you said fits directly into the disorder.. Fear, Uncertainty and avoidance.
Rather than move forward with better knowledge they are in fear of the unknown and would rather repeat past mistakes than try something new. What is funny is this study was done back in 2004 I think it was and you can look at the actions of the right over the last 10 years and it reads like a book and it's been amplified drastically.
