Why does there seem to be a rise in anti-intellectualism?

I am honestly not sure what is happening? But I am noticing more and more in western countries a rejection of education, facts, research etc. This is not about politics, so please do not make this a political discussion.
I am just noticing that you use to be able to have discussions about views and opinions but at the foundation, you acknowledged the facts. Now it seems like we are arguing over facts that are so clearly able to be googled and fact-checked.
I am of the thought-process that all opinions and beliefs should be challenged and tested and when presented with new information that contradicts our opinions, we should change or alter it. But nowadays, it seems presenting new information only causes people to become further entrenched in their baseless opinions. I am noticing this across all generations too. I am actually scared about what society will look like in the future if we continue down this path. What do you guys think?
