I always found that quote kind of funny. So the scientists who have views on political issues that are the extreme opposite of yours (because there are many such people)... what then exactly?

Your sentence has grammatical issues.

I assume you're implying that people who advocate for cultural support of science are hyper liberal and would be hostile to any science conducted by a hyper conservative. I reject this assertion.

"Trust the science" means that peer reviewed science and scientific consensus should carry weight, and too many people are anti-intellectual.
