It is the ultimate admission of ignorance, coupled with arrogance, to label that which he doesn't understand as "junk."

But then when the driving force is perversion, what's to understand?

This still doesn’t explain the average democratic voter...

Actually, they thought they did understand “junk” DNA. They figured that evolution is an untidy, trial and error process that generates lots of functionless DNA that accumulates in the genome like junk. In short, it was a prediction of neo-Darwinian evolution that was applied to non-coding DNA, only to find out after decades of assuming that it was functionless “junk” that the non-coding regions are probably even more functional than the genetic DNA!
