npub1kpwlxpzkxfmuxjmzc2wp3rf9vjg0sgydmlhsnrgqr3maf59h86qqdxxzz4 (npub1kpw…xzz4) a while back, maybe last year? I heard somebody propose that these days Republicans tend to err in magnitude while Democrats err in direction or sign.
Since then it’s been very interesting to think about current events through that lens.
For example, off the top of my head, you could consider federal government deficit spending where Republicans have been talking as if it’s the end of the world while Democrats have been talking as if it’s actually a good thing.
So I don’t think Democrats are following suit, but they are committing their own errors in ways that are orthogonal to the errors of Republicans.
To put it simplistically, it’s almost like Democrats are doing a good job of a bad task while Republicans are doing a bad job of a good task.
I don’t know which is worse, but I personally find the Republican side to be more frustrating.
